Create a Help file like Adobe's?

["William Roy" <roywh -at- jmu -dot- edu>]

Hey Everyone,

I'm working on a project that needs serious help revision - all the way down 
to tools. RoboWord pretty much bites. I suggested the alternative of using 
PDF files. We have about 6 PDF modules, just to help updating and download 
time.

HERE IS MY QUESTION: If you have Acrobat 6 Standard or Professional, you 
will notice that the complete Help found under the Help menu opens a new 
window with a pretty nice interface that loads the PDF. Is it possible to 
create one like this? What are they doing? I looked at the program files and 
couldn't find anything useful except that the files are actually separate 
PDF files that open like any other PDF, but some program or code must be 
running before it opens when you click it in the Help menu.

Finding out how to work with the Adobe interface would be useful for just 
about anyone that writes Help files. Check your own Help file out and see 
how nice it is!

Thanks,
~William
