Define articles

You create an article by defining a series of boxes around the content in the order in which you want the content read. The navigational path you define for an article is known as the article thread. You create a thread connecting the various boxes, unifying them into a continuous text flow.
Most desktop publishing programs allow you to generate article threads automatically as you convert the files to Adobe PDF. If the file you’re viewing has articles, you can show the names of the articles on a tab and navigate easily through them.
  1. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Article Tool, or select the Article tool  on the Advanced Editing toolbar. The pointer appears as a cross-hair pointer in the document window.
  2. Drag a rectangle to define the first article box. An article box appears around the enclosed text, and the pointer changes to the article pointer.

    Each article box you create has a label that consists of the article number and its sequence within the article. For example, the first box for the first article is labeled 1-1, the second box 1-2, and so on. The boxes for the second article in the same document are labeled 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, and so on.

  3. Go to the next part of the document you want to include in the article, and draw a rectangle around that text. Repeat until you have defined the entire article.
    Note: To resize or move an article box, you must first end the article.
  4. To end the article, press Enter or Return.
  5. In the Article Properties dialog box, enter the article title, subject, author, and any keywords to describe the article, and click OK.
