Regina,
The easiest thing would be to generate an HTML interface and set it up
similar to the way you would an Intranet. You can have a main page and
several child pages. The main page should explain the purpose of the CD and
a general overview of the contents (and maybe explain the organization).
Perhaps you wil have a menu on the top or the left side that breaks the
PDFs down into categories (maybe by products). When the se clicks on one of
the categories, a child page would open and contain links to all of the
related PDFs. The menu on the left or the top should always act as a
navigation tool and reflect what page the user is currently on. You can
accomplish all of this with a tool like DreamWeaver. To do it on your own,
you would have to know JavaScript and HTML fairly well. Good luck!
