[IxDA Discuss] Rapid Prototyping Tools

[Michael Angeles]

Both Visio and OmniGraffle let you exporting wireframes as PDFs that
are clickable and just as functional as what Denim will produce. You
can use this to some extent to prototype, but you can't easily
demonstrate interaction in forms, or show animated effects. You can,
however, step through interactions, so the document becomes sort of
like a  non-linear storyboard. I say it can be non-linear, because you
can jump around through the structure if you make each link in the UI
clickable, e.g. global navigation elements.

I did a quickie screencast demonstrating this:
