January 21, 2008

On Monday, January 21, 2008, over 50 Tampa Bay IDUG members gathered at the International Academy of Design and Technology Tampa to see a presentation by Noha Edell.

Noha demonstrated how to create interactive PDFs from within InDesign. She showed us how to include navigation items such as hyperlinks, buttons, and rollovers. She also showed us how to add the ever-popular sound and video to a PDF. She finished her presentation responding to a request from the group on how to quickly create a table of contents using InDesign.

Noha recommended the website, http://www.theindesigner.com, specifically episode 42 for the interactivity. Check this out for more information on our meeting topic. Noha also recommended a book called Dynamic Media by Bob Connolly. For more information on this book, go to http://www.DynamicMediaBook.com. Remember that InDesign User Group members can receive 30% off this book and others like it; go to the Member Benefits area of the IDUG website for more information about this, including the necessary coupon codes, and on other benefits as well.
