Technology Help

The IACP has a helpful disk that's available to law enforcement agencies. The Technology Desk Reference contains tons of material to help plan and manage your agency's IT. It's one of the many helpful guides put out by the IACP.

This came up in a discussion of the new Acrobat 9. The TDR is a giant PDF file and a reader wanted to split out the portion about Forensic Video Analysis, written by Canada's Jonathan Hak. Acrobat 9 gives you the ability to split the document using its bookmarks. Just click on Document>Split Document. It'll break up the file by top-level bookmarks.

For me, this new feature makes it worth the upgrade to Acrobat 9. Acrobat 9 is now included in the Creative Suites, in version 3.3.

Enjoy.
