INM PDF Xtra Product Features

  • Supports Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 7 on Windows
  • Fully Integrated into Authorware's presentation window: create sprites of type PDF
  • Easy to use: Customize PDF sprite display options through the Property Inspector -- no scripting required. Advanced features can be scripted if needed.
  • Superior printing ability from Authorware. Get identical screen and print layouts with no additional effort.
  • Advanced page layout ability in Acrobat allows for inline graphics, text wrapping, multiple columns, etc.
  • Display options can be customized within Authorware, or inherited from the PDF document's default settings (zoom, display mode, scroll x, scroll y, startatpage, display options, url, showtoolbar, showscrollbars, etc.).
  • Scripting interface to control PDF documents from Authorware (go to page, zoom, etc.)
  • Scripts can detect information, such as creation date, modification date, keywords, number of pages, title and author.*
  • Easy updating: just replace old PDF documents by new ones. Documents are linked, so there's no need to update the Authorware piece.

  • Can display a progress indicator while downloading linked or updated PDF documents from a URL.
  • Features dynamically adapt to end-user's Acrobat or Adobe Reader application.
  • Runs Adobe Reader off a CD-ROM if not installed on user's workstation.

  • Can launch a specified version of Acrobat or Reader from an absolute path or a specified version of Reader from any CD-ROM drive.
  • Automatically launches the correct language version of Adobe Reader delivered on CD-ROM, based on the user's system language settings.
  • Compatible with Authorware's Web Player**.
  • Search across multiple PDF documents with INM V12 Database Engine.

* Non-password protected documents only.

NOTE: Due to the inconsistencies between Adobe's Active-X component and the Netscape plug-in, as well as differences between versions of Acrobat/Reader, some features are not supported across all platforms. See compatibility matrix for details.
