This is a one week contracting project that I did with the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The scope of the project is to created a Table of Contents (TOC), in HTML, with links to different sections (and subsections) in one of their manual, in PDF format. The first thing that I did is made the necessary changes to the word document format of the manual (for example, replacing 'go to page 10' with 'click here'). Then I converted the word format manual into several different PDF files (according to their sections) because the manual as one file is very big and it would take longer to load if one were to load the whole file when one only need to access only a part of the file.
For the Table of Contents (TOC) page, I created it using CSS and HTML (it is XHTML compliant). I decided to add in CSS because it would be easier other people to understand the style and make changes to the TOC layout; by using CSS, you don't have to look all over the HTML page to change the necessary coding.
