Did you know? INM offers two different solutions for PDF integration

INM PDF Xtra was initially introduced in 1999 and was the first INM product used for displaying PDF documents in Director with the true Adobe Acrobat/Reader look and feel.

INM Impressario is now the essential companion and industry standard for PDF integration in Director.

INM PDF Xtra Product Features

  • Supports Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader 8 on Windows
  • Re-purpose existing content: why convert formatted content to text cast members? Save ANY document as a PDF and display it with INM PDF Xtra.
  • Easily modify content: Just replace old PDF documents by new ones. No need to touch the Director movie.
  • Document display options (zoom, display mode, scroll x, scroll y, startatpage, display options, url, showtoolbar, showscrollbars, etc.) can be customized within Director, or inherited from the PDF document's default settings.
  • Easily change display options through the Property Inspector or the INM PDF Xtra Member Options dialog.
  • Easy to use Behaviors: (This feature is not available for Mac OS X) No Lingo scripting is required to display and navigate through PDF documents. Advanced features can be scripted if needed.
  • Use Lingo methods (This feature is not available for Mac OS X) for greater control of PDF documents at runtime, and to access document information, such as creation date, modification date, keywords, number of pages, title and author.
  • Launches the appropriate English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese versions of Acrobat Readers that are delivered on CD-ROM, based on user's system settings.
  • Can launch a specified version of Acrobat or Reader from an absolute path or a specified version of Reader from any CD-ROM drive.
  • Fully integrated inside Director: (This feature is not available for Mac OS X) PDF documents are viewed and managed as sprites on Director's stage.
  • PDF preserves advanced page layouts— inline graphics, text wrapping, multiple columns, etc.
  • No more printing hassles— INM PDF Xtra uses Acrobat's superior printing ability, to reproduce exactly what's on screen, from all platforms.
  • Automatic update from URL - When opening a PDF document, INM PDF Xtra can automatically detect and download a more recent version of the document from the Internet. (This feature is available for non-password protected documents only).
  • Can run Acrobat Reader from CD-ROM if not installed on user's workstation.
  • Search across multiple PDF documents. With INM V12 Database and the FREE PDF Indexer tool, you can add a search-by-keyword feature to your PDF project.
  • Shockwave-compatible, Verisign-approved (for Windows only)

* Non-password protected documents only.
** Windows 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. Please see the compatibility matrix for details.
