Hello All,
I am unsure if the following is possible:
I want to be able to navigate to and from the portfolio Welcome Screen using breadcrumbs or a tree or some type of omnipresent navigation.
The problem I have with the way portfolios currently seem to work is that when I open an embedded PDF, navigation back to where I was is gone in favor of the navigation contained in the embedded PDF.
In order to get back to the Welcome Page, clients have to push the "home" button at the top of Reader (or, if the "Return to Welcome Screen" button is available, clients can use that).
I want to have Universal Navigation, so that I can get back to the Welcome Page no matter what document is opened.
Is this doable? Do I need to use JavaScript for Acrobat? Is there a way to do it with Flash or InDesign?
Any suggestions, places to look for help, or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
edsager

Unfortunately, that is what I thought. Darn.
Would it be possible to add a bookmark to the PDFs in the Portfolio, which when clicked on, sends clients back to the Welcome Page?
Thanks,

No, it wouldn't. PDF member files can link to locations in other member files, but if you try to link to the parent, it won't work as expected; certainly not in Acrobat or Reader X where the opened member file will be in a second application window. It's why in version 9 we have the "Home" button on the toolbar.
Acrobat X retains a little more of the navigator in that you can view the contents of some types of files directly on the card faces, but the same applies - opening a document within the Portfolio hands you back to the normal interface.
