David Isom has an article in the Federal Courts Law Review that provides an excellent overview of electronic discovery (circa January 2005). On the first page is a link to download the article in either PDF or WordPerfect format.
The PDF is a nicely laid out article, the links (mostly to Westlaw cites) work, and there are bookmarks for navigating the 43-page document. It appears to have been generated by WordPerfect (the metadata says it was created by the Corel PDF Engine). I would be interested to know if WordPerfect generates the bookmarks and other links, similar to the PDFMaker macros in MS Word.
This article would be a good place to start using your PDF-fu, for example, by adding newer cases, marking it up with some comments and notes, and adding it to your reference library (which you are indexing for super-fast search).

Dave, What I do is create my links and bookmarks in my WordPerfect document, then publish to PDF and let WP take care of the rest. But, I don't know how this works with Word.
The article you linked to is a great example of what WordPerfect can do for PDFs (and HTML). Starting with WP11 (I believe), Corel put a PDF engine in WP that just does everything. And, so simple.
(Excuse me while I gush for a moment over the fact that a firm as big as Greenberg Traurig still uses WordPerfect. Okay, I'm done.)
