Working with articles
Many traditional print documents, such as magazines and newspapers, arrange text in
multiple columns. Stories flow from column to column and sometimes across several
pages. While the format is effective for printed material, this type of structure can be
difficult to follow on-screen because of the scrolling and zooming required.
The article feature enables you to guide readers through material presented in multiple
columns and across a series of pages. You use the Article tool to create a series of linked
rectangles that connect the various sections of the piece and follow the flow of text. You
can choose to generate article threads automatically from a page layout file as you convert
it to an Adobe PDF file. Most, but not all, desktop publishing programs allow you to
generate article threads for files automatically. If the file you're viewing has articles, you
can show the names of the articles in a tab and navigate easily through them.
