This month we had the opportunity to catch up to Thad McIlroy, editor and founder of "The Future of Publishing", a highly regarded website that monitors news on the digital publishing front and where digital publishing is heading. Thad recently released an in-depth report titled, "Adobe's Designs on Web Analytics: The Omniture Acquisition" which is available at The Future Of Publishing site.
The suitability of PDF documents for onscreen viewing has been a controversial topic. In this tutorial, Richard Crocker argues that the negative perception of reading PDFs onscreen is largely due to the inconsistent quality of PDF files. Accordingly, his tutorial explains how to prepare PDF documents in order to optimize the onscreen viewing experience.
Despite tough economic times, Adobe Systems plans to spend almost $2 billion USD buying Omniture, a web-metrics tracking company. In this feature, Don Fluckinger argues that Adobe's history of canny acquisitions and the potential upside of PDF content tracking mean that the move could take commercial PDF publishing to the next level.
With the extreme popularity of iPhones, PDF documents are even more portable than ever -- with the appropriate applications, of course. Appligent Document Solutions' CEO Duff Johnson reviews a range of PDF-related applications for the iPhone to help you find the best way to indulge your PDF habit when you are on the move.
One neat thing about PDF is its ability to represent content from disparate sources, such as images, formatted text content, spreadsheets and graphs -- and that's not even mentioning the multimedia or 3D options. In fact, it's a simple matter to combine a collection of PDFs or other files into a single, self-contained PDF.
When you compile a PDF from multiple sources, you might find that some of the pages are sideways or inverted when you try to view them on-screen. Never fear! Acrobat can be used to rotate individual pages within a PDF document.
Sometimes, you just want to convert a file into a PDF document -- fast. With Acrobat, the task can be as simple as right-clicking. While this doesn't work with all file types, it is perfect for use with text files, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, HTML files, image files and various other file formats.
Sometimes, you need to change the page order of your PDF documents. Luckily, you don't need to re-recreate the file from scratch, as it's a simple matter to re-order pages in Acrobat. In fact, it's as easy as dragging-and-dropping.
