My presentations are essentially homegrown. The needed materials are simply accumulated into a single multipage PDF file at present. It is very easy to set all of the documents to open in "full screen" mode so that the menu bar is not present. As you say - putting something on CD to autorun is also fairly simple to accomplish. I need more manual control over what's going on so I can go backwards if needed on a particular "slide" The cost factor in doing this is virtually zero (other than the cost of Acrobat 6.0 (standard version)). I'm not familiar with Director therefore I can't make a comparison for you - but putting up a PDF image on a 9 foot screen with a good quality Epson LCD projector works very nicely. My audiences are generally wanting to see actual documents or photographs - rather then "points" or outlines so use of PDF is perfect for my use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "SDA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [PDF-Basics] PDF as a presentation tool > > PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ > __________________________________________________________________ > > On Fri, Jun 20, 2003 at 10:10:04AM -0500, Steven M.
