CD-ROM/Electronic Distribution

["Garry F. Bartels" <Gbartels -at- AOL -dot- COM>]

Thanks to all those who responded to my last query.

I am in the process of getting our documents ready for distribution on CD-ROM
and
other electronic media.  About 95% of our documents are done in Corel Ventura
Publisher with the remaining 5% done in MS-Word.  Most of the documents
contain
considerable line art and/or gray scales.  Also, the majority of our
documents are in 11
x 17" format.

We currently are using a DocuTech Printing system to reproduce paper
documents, so
I have postscripts available for all active documents.

I have copies of Common Ground and Adobe Acrobat Reader/Distiller which I am
currently evaluating.  I will also be evaluating Replica.  My first
impressions are that
Common Ground has trouble working with some postscript files.  Common Ground
also seems to fall short on 11 x 17 documents -- the screen/printed images
are not
clear.  Adobe Acrobat overcomes these problems, but I have not found the way
to do a
-90 degree rotate for my 11 x 17" documents.  Hence, all the documents are
viewed in
portrait orientation.  (Perhaps someone out there knows how to rotate these
documents?  I have not used Adobe's "pay to play" support lines -- forget the
BBS.)

Any recommendations or suggestions for other methods of CD-ROM publishing and
electronic distribution of documents?
