PDF DocuReader 4.0
Use pdf files in your program`s help system and as user manuals!
Which tool and which file format do you use for displaying the program help in your software?
• Typically, the software of today stores its help in .chm-format. But .chm files are potential carries of security threats and are oft blocked by the security software.
• The HTML-format requires a lot of separate files (texts, images etc.).
• The HLP-format was introduced with Windows 3.1 and does not correspond to the actual technic level any more. Also, the HLP-Viewer WinHlp32.exe is no more distributed with Windows Vista.
• PDF files are a good solution, but a separate reader is required. The free Adobe® Reader provides no possibility to realize a context sensitive help. Besides, Adobe® Reader is no more easily distributable.
The solution: use PDF DocuReader from soft Xpansion! Start the program directly from your application like this:
sx-pdf-docureader.exe PDF_filename optional_page_number
and all the necessary functionality for the help presentation are available.
The PDF DocuReader functions:
• Open, read and display any PDF files
• Show the needed document page at start
• Navigate using the bookmarks, links, buttons "Next page" and "Previous page"
• Zoom and search function
