Event Details

Almost 50 members gathered together on May 20 to learn some powerful interactive PDF features from Jim Cooper. Jim applies 40 years of publishing and database experience as Implementation VP at Apsiva, in addition to serving as Chairperson of the Reno InDesign User Group.

Everyone enjoyed food prepared by Minde, Ashleigh, and Jon. Arriving early to chat and enjoy the food and drinks is a great way to get acquainted with new members and talk with friends.

Jim showed us how we can enhance our conventional layouts with interactive PDF features. As promised in the invitation, he stepped us through some basic button options and behaviors, with the help of Zak, his little photogenic friend.

Overall, Jim showed how easily we can start creating our own "signature" documents.
