The pdf manifestos over at Change This are gorgeous! How are they doing it? I'd love to create something similar yet simpler for articles I write on my own site.
What tools do you think they are using? Word? Powerpoint? Pagemaker? HTML? How do they embed the commands (print, save, magnify) and navigation (home, next, back)?
I have word, I have powerpoint, and rudimentary html skills and also the ability to print to create PDF's. I think I also have access to pagemaker, but I have no idea how to use it.
