PDF for Lawyers: Electronic Discovery Primer for Judges Available in PDF

Electronic Discovery Primer for Judges Available in PDF

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.)
