The Easy, Efficient Solution for your Help System
Use PDFs for high-performance help files, software documentation and user manuals. How do you display help files in your software?
- Today’s software relies on the CHM format. But CHM files are potential vectors for viruses and trojans and are often blocked by security software.
- The HTML format requires many separate files (text, images, etc.).
- The HLP format was introduced with Windows 3.1 and is no longer state of the art. In addition, the HLP viewer, WinHlp32.exe, is no longer distributed as of Windows Vista.
- PDF files are a good solution, but they require a separate reader. The free Adobe® Reader does not enable context-sensitive help and is no longer easy to distribute.
The solution: Use Perfect DocuReader from soft Xpansion! Start the program directly within your application. It’s easy:
- DocuReader.exe PDF_filename
- DocuReader.exe PDF_filename page_number
- DocuReader.exe PDF_filename named_destination
Perfect DocuReader Features:
- Open and view any PDF file
- Display any page on start-up: Send your users directly to the information they need
- Use named destinations to display the desired text immediately
- Support for links to external PDF files
- Navigate using bookmarks, links, and page navigation buttons
- Zoom and search
