Extreme Restoration is a large book with over 700 pages and 2,700 photos.
Quickly locating specific information in such a volume could be a
challenge. Fortunately, the Adobe (pdf) electronic document format
provides a wide range of options for document navigation.
Bookmarks can be set up by the author and will be shown in a window on the
left hand side of the Adobe Acrobat screen.
Live
links from one part of the book to another can be easily created. This
allows for a traditional table-of-contents format with live links to each
topic or for hyperlinks from anywhere in a chapter to any where else in
the book.
A
unique feature of e-books is the ability to link from a document to
internet web sites. With a click, the reader can jump from the current
document to a related topic located an any one of the millions of sites on
the web.

Extreme Restoration
takes full advantage of the multiple navigation strategies provided by
Adobe Acrobat and gives the reader choices on how to get from one area
of this large book to another. |
|
 |
First, the Adobe
"bookmarks" section has been revised to provide direct links to any topic
heading in any chapter.
There are now over
270 topics listed in the bookmarks section. |
|
 |
With
so many topic listings, the bookmarks section could become overwhelming.
Fortunately, topics can be set as sub-headings.
In
Extreme Restoration, the individual chapter headings can be expanded to
show several layers of sub-headings. |
|
 |
If
you prefer to use a traditional table of contents then the main table of
contents in the front of the book can be used to navigate to any topic
just by clicking on the page number.
There
are over 250 topic listings in the main table of contents. |
|
 |
A
table of contents is also provided at the beginning of each chapter. Like
the main table, clicking on the page number is all that's needed for
navigation.
The
table of contents for the 14 chapters provide an additional 250+ topic
links. |
|
 |
Throughout the book you will encounter links to related topics located in
other areas of the book.
This
makes jumping from one topic to another simple. |
|
 |
One
of the most impressive features of e-books is the ability to jump from the
book to any one of millions of web sites.
Extreme restoration has over 160 links to web sites that can provide
information and/or materials related to the topics being presented. |
|
|
Extreme Restoration is a "work in process" and enhancements
will be made on a continual basis. The recent enhancements to the
navigation system provide multiple ways to get from one topic to
another and should make finding a topic even simpler than
previously possible
