Review: Timeline 2.0.3

by: Erik Vlietinck - Last Updated: Wed 09 January 2008

Is there an easy way to create an illustration that shows a timeline like the ones you find in some history books? The most control over what your timeline looks like used to be had with a copy of Adobe Illustrator and a lot of patience. Some 30 minutes for a timeline with a dozen events, to be exact. And then you’ll only end up with a static timeline or one in which the links to Wikipedia or whatever other information source you prefer, must be created using Javascript and SVG.

There could be a faster and smarter way by using a dedicated program. Bee Documents’ Timeline is an example. It took me 10 minutes to create the same timeline in their application. It looked exactly the same and came with effortless links in the high-resolution PDF document that I exported it to.
