Emprint slideshow

At Kent State University, Fidler developed an electronic newspaper format based on interactive PDF and optimized for pen-based Tablet PCs.

The front page of the EmPRINT digital newspaper includes section tabs along the right side of the portrait-oriented pages, and a series of navigational tools across the bottom.

One benefit of EmPRINT is the consistent use of color photography throught each issue, unlike most printed newspapers that use color on only select stories and pages.

The section tabs along the right side of every EmPRINT newspaper page provide easy access to the themed content inside the 100-plus-page issue.

EmPRINT offers a number of interactive opportunities to newspaper advertisers, including links to Web sites, layered information and the optional use of audio and/or video elements.

Each section front page of EmPRINT provides a clickable index to key articles within that topical area.

An interactive Table of Contents page in each issue of EmPRINT provides direct links to all sections and articles, as well as to Web-linked advertisements and advertisers.

EmPRINT utilizes the forms capability of Adobe Acrobat and PDF to solicit letters to the editor and reader opinions on other newsworthy topics.

EmPRINT provides all advertisers the opportunity to publish in color throughout each edition, unlike typical printed newspapers.

EmPRINT includes an option for advertisers to publish layered information, in which the same basic ad can include select changes in content ? for example, clicking on a photo in this ad changes to a similar ad featuring a different health center employee.
