Abstract
The paper examines a project conducted within Northern Telecom Limited (Nortel) Department X754 (located in Ottawa Canada), designed to provide customized end-user documentation. The authors investigate two technologies: hyperlink paths in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (pdf) documents, and structured-document processing using SoftQuad's helper application PanoramaPRO. The methodology includes: conducting field research on end-user information requirements, creating hyperlink paths in documents; and defining elements and attributes for structured-document information. With each prototype, users are able to select and view information customized for their needs.
