Re: Index for Revolution PDF Document switch vs. if/then/else
Hi Judy, Would it not be interesting too, to carry out such an experiment in order to compare two groups having to script multichoice situations presented in plain english (or any natural language): - one group would have to translate it using switch case structure and the other using if then else structure. Measures could be time and precison (errors) completed, may be, with subjective evaluations of difficulty, workload, understandability...

Judy, Inquiring minds want to know: what were the results of the ACM test?

Hi, Since I have the full version of Acrobat, I can create indexes and have created one for the RunRev PDF.

Re: Spam:Re: Index for Revolution PDF Document
The latest version is available at http://downloads.runrev.com/userguide/userguide.pdf This one doesn't have an index. I'm guessing RunRev would probably prefer that people download and comment on the latest version from the official source.

Re: Spam:Re: Index for Revolution PDF Document
Hi, It's the same PDF file, I have just created a separate index file that can be used in conjunction with the PDF you download yourself. You double-click on a file called RRIndex.pdx and it allows you to enter words or phrases and when you hit search it gives a list of the lines where this appears in the PDF file. Double-clicking on one of these lines will open the PDF document at the line where it appear. I have only tried this on Mac OS X, not sure if it will work on other platforms.

Re: Spam:Re: Index for Revolution PDF Document
Since the user's guide isn't final, I don't think the index would be that useful. I would assume they'd generate one when the document is finalized.
