Hi all –
I’ve made some vector maps for a company to use to divide up distributer territories. They would very much like it if there was some way for them to be able to "color in" the various countries so as to code them for their associated reps. What I mean is, this information would not be static (otherwise I’d just do it), and the limitation is that they wouldn’t really want to buy/learn some graphics app in order to do it. Basically they have your normal MS Office Suite or whatever and other bus apps and that’s it.
I did the maps – Europe, South and Central America, etc – as vectors in Illustrator so they can scale well and also I was thinking they could do easy click-fills if there was some free or cheap svg/vector/eps editor that I could show them how to use.
The JPEG/BMP MS Paint option is really not suitable but PDF or bitmap conversion is not out of the question….
I’m pretty sure that this cannot be done in Acrobat, but does anyone have any ideas? I may have to write a Visual Basic app if all else fails but that would be really not desirable for anyone involved (meaning me).
TIA.
