Hi Kerik,

Thanks. It was done with quark, photoshop, and illustrator, and then distilled with acrobat distiller and the links done in acrobat professional.

If you're less of a glutton for punishment, I'd recommend Indesign over quark.

I like it

You'll need to configure Acrobat Reader so that it does not display PDFs in your browser.
For version 7.0 of the reader:
Click on Edit on the menu-bar
Click on the "Preferences" menu-item
Click on "Internet" in the dialog-box
Make sure that "Display PDF in Browser" option is unchecked
Click on "OK"

NK, I owe you a beer!

Paul, another thought on this. I use an epson 2100 and design and print directly onto printable cds. I also use boxes and inserts from these guys http://www.superjewelboxing.com/ . You've spent alot of time on the pdf so a matched set of inserts would compliment it

NK's advice worked, but I found out the browser opening the pdf was not the problem, it was jsut that the file was too large and it took a while to down load even with DSL. Not a big deal, but if you are planning to refer people to this address to down load your pdf you might want to give them a warning.

You can make the file smaller by limiting the amount of previous versions of acrobat it is compatable with. I got mine down from 9meg to 2 by limiting to just 6 and 7

Just so you'll know, I'm ripping off your idea. Nice and simple design and I like it. This is a good map for me to use in working on a website. The images are great and I do agreee with the idea of adding foward and back buttons. I also had trouble with the mozilla browser, but most people who use that also have the acrobat reader because mozilla doesn't automatically support pdf files. . Looks stunning on a Mac. Good job.

This document is HUGE. it is 17 megs, I would not reccomend posting this on a website. It is much better to just use HTML.

When it finally opened, it was very big in size, spilling outside the edge of my screen. This may be a local problem with adobe on my pc though.

If you must keep it as a pdf, please direct them to a regular web page first. Then povide instructions to first download the web page by right-clicking the link and selecting 'save target as'.
Then they can open it on their local PC.
