new PDF version of spec |
I haven't had time to roll in the newest minor revisions (that should
happen next week), but I still have an interesting and useful
development to report on the spec front...
While working on an unrelated project today where I was looking for
PDF export tools for MS Word/MacOS with bookmarking support, I ran
across an OpenOffice.org addon called extendedPDF by JDiSoftware.
It's free and absolutely wonderful (and personally removes the last
barrier for OOo becoming my preferred word processing environment).
I converted the 1.1 specification over using extendedPDF, and it
dropped the file size by about half and added embedded two-level
bookmarking (matching the TOC) as well as embedded hyperlinks. The
download off the OpenAL documentation page is this new version.
If you do any word processing using OOo (or want to), extendedPDF is
recommended. It's already improved the usability of our spec by a
huge amount.
Enjoy,
Garin
