How do I achieve this?

Hi,
I have a plan of a business center, the plan is in Pdf but obviously it can be converted to any other format.
I'd like to upload the plan on a content page and make it clickable by the users so that they click on a office (in the plan) and they go to a linked page showing how the office interior is.
Is there any module that could help?
I am not a programmer, so be gentle guys.... :) :)
Thank you!
Alex
This should be doable, but
This should be doable, but with some CSS trickery, not sure a non programmer could do this, and pretty sure no module can either.
The idea would be to create an image of your PDF, and create links to the 'office', and with CSS, make the link a clickable area overlapping the corresponding office.
You might need some custom work done for this, a themer is needed :)

There isn't a module for this-- but you could do it by making an html image map for it. See the project page of my http://drupal.org/project/jq_maphilight module for more info on creating image maps.

That's great!
Hi,
I followed your instructions and used your "creature" to add the mouseover highlighting, it works perfectly.
Now , I have another question, say this is more to get advice on how I can organize the images.
I have 3 pictures (3 plans corresponding to 3 floors), what could be a good way to present them?
I mean, I could merge them in a single image, but then, I should enable a new pop up window to open the "big" map, otherwise the default website page would be too small.
So I was thinking to split the three maps and do like many catalogs you can browse online to look for items to buy, I believe they are made using flash.
Third option, a book, but I am not sure this is the most suitable way to enable people to see the choice they have among many "offices to lease".
Any suggestions is very welcome.
Thank you!
Alex

If it were me I'd probably just put each floor in it's own node and just create a 'parent' node, maybe with an office building graphic or actual picture of the building, with links to each of the separate floors.
