You question is somewhat confusing. I've tried to mentally fill in
some gaps, so I'll tell you my assumptions and my corresponding
answer. Furthermore, I can only offer a general solution because I
don't have enough in-depth details for your specific situation to give
exact instructions.
Assuming:
* You have some means of modifying the CD you're talking about (i.e,
making a copy, etc.)
* The CD opens up a web page in Internet Explorer when you put it in the computer.
* Each link on that web page corresponds to a separate PDF file.
* When you said "I know how to ... add it to the pdf file", you meant
that you could add another PDF document to the existing set.
The solution, then, lies in modifying the web page you see to include
the PDF file you create. From what you've explained, it seem that
there's some scripting going on to create a sort of tree-like
structure that groups individual pages under their corresponding
topics, and hide the different pages until you first click on its
topic.
Under the circumstances, in order to modify the web page, you need to
either (A) Have a copy of the software used to generate that page, (B)
have some compatible piece of software--that is, software that
understands the tree structure and can add new leaves without messing
everything else up, or (C) understand the underlying HTML code well
enough to hand-edit it and add the pages manually.
Of the choices, (A) is definately the best. If you can contact the
person who made the original document, you can save hours of
frustration from trying to duplicate his/her work. That's not always
possible, though, so here's some more options:
Of the remaining choices, the last one seems the simplest to me.
Here's roughly how you'd do it. Open the web page file in a "dumb"
text editor, like Notepad, not Word. Do a search (CTRL+F) for the name
of one of the existing pages near where you want to add your page. You
may have to search a couple of times to see all the places where it
lists that name.
You should see a few elements that seem to repeat for each of these
topics. What you want to do is copy and paste one of these sections
and fill in the new copy with the information relevant to the new one
you want to add. If you're not too familiar with HTML, you ought to
have a friend who writes web pages look over your shoulder and make
sure you keep the document structure intact.
Once you're done, open up the page in your web browser and see if it
works as expected.
Finally, option (B) may give results, but I wouldn't put too much hope
into it. (In other words, don't go and buy one of these products just
on the slim chance that it may work.)
You can open the file with an web page editor like Microsoft FrontPage
or MacroMedia's DreamWeaver. It probably won't look the way you
expected it to in the editor, but if you can modify it, save it, and
open it in a browser and have things continue to work as they did
before, then you've got a chance at least. If it *does* work then
you're going to do more or less the same thing as described before.
Find an existing entry that works, copy it, and modify the copy. The
details of how to do *that* vary from program to program. |
