Steven, thanks for clarification. Reader is certainly a healthy alternative in terms of presentation. And since *anything* can be converted to PDF many authoring tools can be used. Of course without a presentation tool which uses or converts to PDF directly the presentation features will be somewhat limited. ======================================== Max Khesin, software developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [check out our image compression software at www.cvisiontech.com, JBIG2-PDF compression @ www.cvisiontech.com/cvistapdf.html] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven M.

In terms of creating something "new" I can easily assemble pieces into a Word document and quickly transform it into PDF. By adding sound and movie clips - Acrobat certainly qualifies as an authoring tool. No doubt a factor my choice is that I am familiar with Word and Acrobat and far less familiar with PowerPoint. Certainly PowerPoint users swear by it but I believe presenting with Reader to be an equivalent alternative and perhaps superior in some respects.. > > Steve Harris > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Max Khesin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 10:32 AM > Subject: Re: [PDF-Basics] PDF as a presentation tool > > > > > > PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ > > __________________________________________________________________ > > > > Steven, > > this is all very nice but the main question is availability/usability of authoring > > software.
