Re: "So, my docs on the web have been pdf or Word. Do purples make
sense in those? If so, how to put them in?" (01)
Jack, relative to someone else's created PDF documents, are you aware of
the Adobe PDF Conversion by Simple Form?
If not, here's a Web-based forms submission tool or a E-mail submission
tool used by visually impaired people requiring screen reader software
to access the document:
Web-based forms submission tool
If the Adobe PDF file is on the Internet, users type the URL into an
electronic form and select the "Get This PDF Document as HTML" button.
The document will be converted on the fly to HTML and will be returned
immediately to the Web browser. <
http://access.adobe.com/simple_form.html >
E-mail submission tool
If the Adobe PDF is on the Internet, users can submit the URL of a PDF
file via e-mail to convert it to HTML or ASCII text. PDF files that are
on a local hard disk, local CD-ROM, or local area network, can also be
converted by attaching the PDF file to an e-mail message. The converted
results are returned in the body of a new mail message in a matter of
minutes."
< http://access.adobe.com/access_email.html >
Using either the web-based form or the e-mail submission tool, when
access.adobe.com converts PDF to HTML, all existing hypertext links are
converted into HTML links. This includes intra-document links as well as
links to other documents on the Internet. Extra HTML links are also
created to enable easy navigation between pages. The very first line of
the document will contain at least two of these special links:
* "Document Body" is a special link to the start of the body of the
document.
* "Page Navigation Panel" is a part of the document that contains
links to each page of the document. For example, if the document
has five pages, the Page Navigation Panel would have links called 1
2 3 4 5, each corresponding to its respective page.
* If the PDF document contains Acrobat bookmarks (these are
different than the bookmarks associated with the browser and are
like an electronic table of contents feature), these will be
converted to a "Document Outline" that contains HTML links
corresponding to the original Acrobat bookmarks.
* Between each page of the document, links are inserted to make it
easy for you to move to the next and previous page.
