Reply To: ePubs, PDFs, Flash Projectors, oh my!

I would go for PDF for both. A single PDF file, or (in the second example, if one is too unwieldly), one PDF for the case filings, and one or two more PDFs for ancillary/what next type of material. Definitely not a Portfolio. (What would a Flash interface add to this? And why make it difficult for people who don't have Reader 9 or X to access it?)

Set up both with easily understood bookmarks and set it to open with the bookmarks panel showing. You can add a custom cover and/or section pages with links and buttons to print, search, navigate, a linked list of exhibits, videos, etc.

I don't see the point of an ePub for this project…and unless the documents already exist as a colllection of linked XHTML files with a CSS file common to all, I'm not sure why you'd think it'd be easier than assembling a PDF. You can easily combine all sorts of different files into a single PDF.
