Live-Book software allows users to create interactive e-publications and multimedia applications with its complex scripting language.
Live-Book has a divided work area with the source code of the HTML document at the bottom of the panel and the document preview at the top. You can edit your HTML document in both parts, and the program offers special tools to help with documents containing HTML frames.
This software supports all major multimedia formats such as graphic (BMP, WMF, EMF, GIF, Animated GIF, JPEG, PNG), video (AVI, MPEG), sound, Flash (SWF) and AutoCAD (DXF). Furthermore, DXF and SWF files are supported interactively. This means you can edit and alter the view of objects embed in those files, such as scale or rotate.
The most important feature of Live-Book is the ability to create compact publications in the form of an executable file. Live-Book allows you to create a single executable file that contains all the elements included in the publication. This file can run on any computer, even if there is no HTML browser (or any other browser) in the system. Live-Book can also save the publication in a special LBF format that can be read with the Live-Book Reader, which is free and included in the Live-Book package.
Live-Book lets you specify how the window, in which your publication is presented, will look. You may choose to present your publication in full-screen mode or in a freely defined window. This applies to both executable and LBF publications. The program has a very useful security mechanism that compresses and encrypts all publications created in Live-Book with the best algorithms available. The publication can also be secured from unauthorized access with a system of single and group passwords, "sticking" it to only one computer, and disabling the possibility of printing or copying the text to the clipboard.
Live-Book incorporates a powerful scripting language called Live-Script which allows you to control all the objects in your publication, manage your multimedia files, buttons, and other elements of your publication. Live-Script makes it possible to create fully interactive applications that use such elements as animations, simulations, reports, "intelligent" search engines, tests, and more.
The program also includes advanced mechanisms for creating printouts, reports and calculations. Two special modules, print preview and text search, are included to help you create something spectacular. All these features make Live-Book a perfect tool for fast creation of multimedia presentations, promotional materials, product catalogs, e-books, educational programs, professional electronic publications, and more. A non-commercial and educational license is available for this software.
