Navigable PDFs organize information and can give one-click access to specific information.

I use photographs and infographics to bring variety into ubiquitous bulleted slides. In general, I recommend keeping text minimal in any presentation—freeing the audience to listen to the speaker instead of reading.

A tabbed navigation bar in this PDF gives quick access to information even when the viewer is offline.
