It is my understanding that Mac users can view image files, files saved in .text format & htm files. This is pretty much true for Linus users too I think. > Will converting the updf to a chm file sort this out? UltraPDF only creates htm & links to all the htm linked to any image files & puts all the htm codes in the htm for me. It creates one index.htm file in the root directory linking everything to one index.htm file. It's output file is one .updf file. You can tell UltraPDF pgm to display the image files accord- ing to what you tell it to...such as every 5 seconds show the next image file in the .UPDF file. What I don't like about UltraPDF pgm is it extracts all the files to a temporary directory which it never cleans up. I have written them & they say they are going to delete the files it creates in the future. Secondly, friends don't want to download & install other software. This is why I combine everything into one .chm. Window's comes with a viewer. File name is: HH.exe. As most my friends have Window's, they have the viewer already & don't need to download & install anything. Unless my friends know what I know, they can not edit the file. All the graphics are all in one file. I use MS's Paint to edit files & add text to the image files. KeyTools was made by a guy who use to work for Microsoft. The software is on the net for free. Do word search for: KeyTools This pgm is what creates the .chm files for me. HH.exe is Microsoft's viewer program for Windows help files. So this maybe bad idea for Mac users unless someone came out with a viewer that can read Microsoft's .chm files. You may need to create 2 docs..one for Mac users & one for Windows. It does not sound like I have helpped very much but it is all. To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
