The CD Front End allows you to create an autorun / autoplay / autostart / autoinstall CD. A catalog, a software collection, PDF files, MP3, any stuff. You may simply insert the CD, then in a full screen window an HTML-like presentation will be shown.
Inside it you can include any button you want to launch documents, PDF, self extracting exe files (you can place them anywhere on the CD - and... the program asks no confirmations before installing!), and any linked page you want for license, additional info, etc. No hassles, no configuration files, no browsers needed!
Create a customizable front end menu program for a CDROM with ease!
· autorun CD (or DVD) with one click (File >Create autorun CD)
· useful either for a single page CD menu, a ten pages CD business card, or a complex hyperlinked CD / DVD with 10000 pages
· can launch any kind of file: PDF, Word, PowerPoint PPS PPT, DOC, AutoCAD...; any kind of video and audio: MP3, MPEG, WMV, MOV, AVI...; and much more
· one presentation, one source file
· built-in browser (no Internet Explorer or other browsers required; completely self-contained, will run off the CD without problems on any PC; not blocked by popup killer applications)
· the created CDs are freely distributable, i.e. no royalties; you can mass-replicate; you can create CDs for your customers
· fully custom layout with full screen capability; you can also set the window size and position
· search engine automatically included in the CD/DVD: full-text search, boolean search, keyword search
· you can prohibit print or copy, add your own expiration date, and you can password protect all or part of the CD (e.g. a section of a product catalogue that's for dealers only)
· different passwords for different users (while the CD/DVD remains the same, so it can be mass replicated)
· you can include Viewer programs in case the user don't have Adobe Acrobat, Word and so on...; so everybody will be able to see your CD without any problems
· easy to learn and easy to start; (and we are always here for fast support, please ask us any questions!)
· frames, text styles, popup windows, mouse over sensitive images, sounds, audio, video, visual linking (no broken links, never!): feature rich, easy to use, fast
· want to make the same change to every page of your CD? No problem, there is the global search and replace, or you can use headers and footers
· shopping cart, forms, direct Flash support and more in the Gold edition; direct Web publishing with the HyperPublish or 1SITE bundle, so you can publish your brochure / catalog / depliant on the Web with just one click
· database import through CSV: MS Access, Oracle, Fulcrum, Paradox, DBase, FoxPro, MySQL, Interbase, Firebird, DB2... just save as CSV (comma separated value; + image files) and you will be able to automatically populate a catalogue (it creates categories, subcategories, thumbnail images...) - Gold edition only
· the CD does NOT require Internet Explorer or any 3rd party applications
· automatic photo gallery / thumbnails feature, for creating autorun CDs with your photos! - Gold edition only
· no “HTML”, you don't need to be a programmer
· small and smart: both the editor and the CDs/DVDs do run (quickly!) also on old PCs
