Would it be possible / practical to set up the compendium to take advantage of touch screen technology, scrolling horizontally to move between races, and vertically to move between different lists.
You'd struggle to do that elegantly (the options below being inelegant :d)
with a pdf like it is at present without a lot of scripting I think?
If it had to be a pdf doing that it'd be easier to place links within the pdf (eg tap side of page to go horizontally, tap top/bottom to swap race) – this gives the illusion of the navigation structure you want, but you'd have to tap not swipe. Or make each race one massive landscape page to scroll across, with the races sorted vertically.
But if pdf is was abandoned
or augmented by being embedded inside something else then all bets change. Or just add some pdf navigation drop downs for race and army list as a nav bar at the top of the page, plenty of nav stuff you can add to a pdf, but the whole X+Y axis page scrolling would be hard to do – but maybe easy to fake.
*edit, just realised it got horizontal and vertical the wrong way round, the theory/pdf format limitations remain the same though.
