      Good afternoon everyone.
      Long time IDS fan, first time posting.
      I am at my wits end on this and have been banging my head against a brick wall and I need your help!

      I am the designer for an events company which puts together IT Symposiums and we are finally working our way into the present with technology. I have been putting together a mock up of an e-version of our event book, to both save money and give the attendees a digital alternative.

      We print a publication with all the power point slides for each breakout session and presenter.

      In the digital version, I would like to have one page for a presentation (pdf version of course). For example. John Smith has a slideshow presentation with 45 slides. When you follow the TOC link to his page, you see his bio, abstract, and slide presentation. I would like for the end user to be able to follow along with the preso, without having 45 additional pages. (does that make sense?) Maybe putting a couple buttons on the page to ‘flip’ slides.

      Is this at all possible? [an SWF would not be a possibility, because of the iPad versions. So I would have to avoid flash altogether]

      Thank you for any help. And I apologize if this has been discussed before, apparently my Googling skills are lacking as of lately.

      What you are asking for is totally reasonable. But it’s impossible. The whole SWF thing was supposed to be the answer, but now that flash is mostly dead, it won’t work, as you pointed out. Adobe has not given us anything within pdf to replace it, sadly.

      So you can go the lots and lots of pages in the PDF route, or you can use a different technology, such as DPS (or some other tablet app solution), or HTML5 web app (such as in5 at ajarproductions.com.

      We’ll be discussing exactly these kinds of issues at pepcon.com. I hope the company will send you!
