The Layer Assistant was recently integrated into the Presentation Assistant (v.3), offering the following capabilities:
-- Text/Symbol Layer shortcuts Add the specified string, associated with a layer (with control over font, size and color; horizontal/vertical location adjustment) -- Shape Layer shortcuts (rectangle, rounded rectangle, shaded rectangle and circle; can control fill/border color, line width) * optionally also create a link that toggles layer visibility * optionally specify that the shape border is visible at all times, regardless of the layer and its visibility -- Image Layer shortcuts Include JPEG images as a layer (this may also be used to set a non-printing page background tint to reduce screen glare, or for navigation buttons) -- Underline/Strikethrough Layer shortcuts -- Layers can be created from FM content (text / graphics) based on RGB color composition (this does not require hypertext markers) -- Layer visibility links/bookmarks: (show layer; hide layer, show layer only, toggle layer, show next/previous layer, show all layers, hide all layers) -- Specific layers can be set as initially hidden or as non-printing (through the settings files or through shortcuts) -- Support for transparency of shapes and JPEG images Visit http://www.microtype.com/showcasePresentAsst.html for PDFs demonstrating the new capabilities [ FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers v5.5 required ] Shlomo Perets MicroType * http://www.microtype.com FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants ------------------------------------------ 1-hour webinars (free), starting 10am PDT | 1pm EDT | 5pm UTC/GMT: Tuesday, August 18: Enhancing PDFs with Form Fields (with FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Form Asst) https://student.gototraining.com/register/3420308416844530916 Thursday, Sept. 10: Liven up your PDFs with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants https://student.gototraining.com/register/8019702938678710980
