Most desktop publishing programs allow you to generate article threads automatically as you convert the files to Adobe
PDF. If the file you’re viewing has articles, you can show the names of the articles on a tab and navigate easily through
them.

Choose Tools > Document Processing > Add Article Box. The pointer appears as a cross-hair pointer in the
document window.

Drag a rectangle to define the first article box. An article box appears around the enclosed text, and the pointer

Each article box you create has a label that consists of the article number and its sequence within the article. For
example, the first box for the first article is labeled 1-1, the second box 1-2, and so on. The boxes for the second
article in the same document are labeled 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, and so on.

Go to the next part of the document you want to include in the article, and draw a rectangle around that text. Repeat
until you have defined the entire article.
Note: To resize or move an article box, you must first end the article.
