Creating PDFs for the Web

Cal Anderson and Manuel Becerra of Truckee Meadows Community College have put together a presentation on PDF files.

Here's what you'll learn (from their abstract):

  • Learn how to correctly add titles and meta data to your PDFs so that they'll rank higher in search engines.
  • Apply optimization techniques to make your PDFs look better and load faster.
  • Make your PDFs interactive so that users can fill them out online in a web browser.
  • Add security layers to protect your information once it is online.
  • Add bookmarks, apply initial open-view settings, as well as other tips and shortcuts to enhance your PDFs.
