Perfect DocuReader allows users to easily display PDF manuals and context-sensitive help files within their own software, without requiring any installation or additional software. This solution provides a simple and efficient way to integrate a help system into your program.
Perfect DocuReader from soft Xpansion is a free solution for your context sensitive help system, offering a great alternative to CHM or HLP help viewer. With this software, you'll be able to use PDF files in your program's help system and as user manuals – complete with your identity, logo, and company data!
When it comes to displaying program help in your software, today's software typically stores its help in .CHM-format. The problem with this format is that .chm files can potentially carry security threats and are often blocked by security software. The HTML-format, on the other hand, requires a lot of separate files (texts, images, etc.), while the HLP-format was introduced with Windows 3.1 and doesn't correspond to the actual technical level any more. Additionally, the HLP-Viewer WinHlp32.exe is no more distributed with Windows Vista.
While PDF files are a good solution, a separate reader is required, and the free Adobe Reader doesn't provide any possibility to realise a context-sensitive help. Fortunately, Perfect DocuReader from soft Xpansion has all the necessary functionalities for the help presentation available. Simply start the program directly from your application like this: DocuReader.exe PDF_filename or DocuReader.exe PDF_filename page_number or DocuReader.exe PDF_filename named_destination.
Some of the Perfect DocuReader functionalities include:
- Opening, reading, and displaying any PDF files
- Showing the needed document page at start
- Using named destinations to display desirable text at the start
- Navigating using the bookmarks, links, buttons "Next page" and "Previous page"
- Offering zoom and search functionality
- Providing printing functionality
Best of all, using Perfect DocuReader is easy since there is no installation required. The free version of Perfect DocuReader for commercial usage starts with a splash screen and shows the logo of soft Xpansion in its toolbar. However, you can receive your "own" version with your own logo and splash screen (or without it) instead of those of soft Xpansion. Please contact us at www.soft-xpansion.com. Try it out today!
