Why
Live Publications
Easy Distribution
Live Publications is available in three different mediums.
 |
Web
based
Live Publications is suitable for both online
and offline browsing. You have the option to view
your documents on the web, or you can download
them on your computer system for later use. You
can also save Live Publications from the web on
your lap top for later presentations without an
Internet connection.
|
|
 |
E-Mail
This medium makes it very easy to circulate your
document. All you need to do is attach the file
to your e-mail and send it to millions of users.
Also, this is great for brochures and surveys
because it has an interactive form which can be
filled out and submitted by the viewer. |
|
 |
CD-Based
Live Publications can also be distributed via
standard or business card sized CDs. You have
the option to incorporate large media files such
as video files, and animations. This option is
suitable for distribution of product catalogs,
e-annual reports, photo albums, e-books, and user
manuals.

Easy To
Read and Use – User Experience Is Similar to Print
Publication
Even an inexperienced user will quickly learn to navigate
your digital publication using familiar features like
these:
No Special Software
Live Publications only require an Internet connection,
a web browser, and Flash, a standard feature on most web
browsers, and free and easy to download.
Interactive Table of Contents
This feature is available at both zoom levels. User clicks
on the content button, which shows the title of the pages
predefined in the Content Panel. You can simply click
on any title to directly jump to that page.
Easy Printing
The Print button in the main header menu allows the user
to easily print the page at any zoom level. The default
print size is 8 1/2 x 11, which is standard letter size.
Book Mark
This function allows the user to “book mark”
any page in the publication. The viewer can go back at
a later time to review the book-marked pages since they
are saved in the memory.
Highlight
Highlight feature helps users remember important information
like text links or images. Once highlight is applied it
will be saved and your digital publication will always
remember it even if the application is closed. User can
always add or delete Highlighted areas.
Advanced Search
This enables the reader to search specific words throughout
the publication. Once the search is complete the page
numbers where the word was found will appear, giving the
reader the option to jump directly to that page.
Dual Page View
This option allows the reader to view a two-page spread
just like a printed magazine.
