Hi all,

I'm looking at creating some improved documentation files in PDF format. I realize the capabilities of PDF are immense, multiply these with Xara's capabilities, and you may create steroid PDF's..

Just as a test, I created a 2 page Xara doc, with a link on each page to jump back and forth. Then exported as PDF. This works perfectly well, and the links are perfectly clickable!

Now would this be possible:
Say you have a process that you need to execute in multiple steps.
I would then think of each step as 1 image (maybe grouped items in a drawing)
Would it be possible to have one "image" on 1 page, underneath, I'd have say 5 steps / clickable buttons, each button click would show it's linked image.

I've tried to do this, Acrobat can view the layers, you can also enable/disable them, but I would like this to be linked to the clickable 'buttons'.
Can this be done?
See attached example.

Here's also a link to open source Scribus mentioning clickable elements in PDF. I haven't investigated this yet. http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Ge...e_PDF_Elements

Is there any tutorial covering these Xara capabilities more in depth? (PDF & layers)

Thanks a lot!

Erwin
