Introduction: CD Front End will allow you to create an autorun / autoplay / autostart / autoinstall CD presentation. A catalog, a software collection, Acrobat PDF files, MP3, PowerPoint PPT, Word DOC, AutoCAD, Corel, video, MPEG, MOV, any stuff. The user simply inserts the CD, then in a full screen window a Web-like presentation is 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. All or part of the presentation pages can be protected with password(s), even different passwords for different users (the CD is always the same, just the passwords change): the encoding is 128bit secure. The GOLD edition includes direct Flash support, forms, and an internal shopping cart, very handy (the resulting order form can be printed, faxed or sent by email). No hassles, no configuration files, no browsers needed! No code/HTML, all visual. Create a customizable front end menu program for a CDROM with ease! Here are some key features of "CD FrontEnd PRO": · 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 with 10000 pages; · can launch any kind of file: PDF, PowerPoint PPS PPT, DOC, AutoCAD...; any kind of video and audio: MP3, MPEG, WMV, MOV, AVI...; · 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); · CDs freely distributable, i.e. no royalties; · 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.
