for the first time in the US:
USING MEDIA CLIPS TO ENHANCE DOCUMENTATION
Boston, May 10 * San Carlos, July 9
When providing electronic documentation (training, online help,
marketing materials), you can create much more than a PDF of the
printed version. Learn how to demonstrate processes and functions
with movie clips; how to plan, script and storyboard a movie
clip; how to record the workflow, edit the movie and add titles,
callouts and captions; and how to integrate the movie into the
documentation. The course also covers setup, output formats and
options, and available tools.
INTERACTIVE 3D MODELS IN PDFs
Boston, May 11 * San Carlos, July 10
How to incorporate interactive 3D visualizations in technical
publications. Topics include: creating multiple views & cross
sections; lighting settings; Acrobat 3D Toolkit: adding materials,
creating animations and exploded views; enhancing 3D interactivity
with Acrobat JavaScript; part measurements; comments and markups
in interactive 3D models; converting models from CAD to U3D and
PDF; capturing models from CAD.
