Interactivity…isn’t that what everybody’s after these days? Presented with a choice for how to consume information – one being a straight-up, minimalist format and the other being a multimedia presentation with engaging visuals and interactivity; people are nearly always going to choose the latter option. 

The iPad for example has changed the way in which Children are learning. Gone are the days when kids are sitting with their parents whilst trying to read a book. They’re getting stuck in and are engaging with the content – using their fingers to draw and write a story, playing games to recognise objects whilst learning basic morals. 

We agree this might not seem like the ideal solution – it’s not as straight forward and simple as the traditional methods of learning – not to mention the re-mortgage on your home you need to afford anything by Apple – but it is a whole load more effective! 

So if interactivity and rich multimedia presentations are becoming increasingly expected by consumers, wouldn’t you like to deliver your messages and information in the most exciting and engaging way possible? If you already have information that you’re trying to send out, it doesn’t have to remain as a painfully dull file, *cough*, sorry, I mean PDF,

Some PDF’s can be pretty laborious for people to read through and actually digest the information effectively. And as soon as you open a PDF you know you’re in for a treat when you see the number of pages you have to scroll through to find what you’re after.

Awesome, can’t wait… 

There is another option… we can turn your plain PDFs into exciting, interactive multimedia presentations and digital magazines. There’s no need for you to re-write, change or make any special alterations. All we need to perform this mind-blowing feat is the original PDF document containing all of the information you want to turn into your new rich multimedia presentation. Once we have this, we can work our magic.

To operate the page turning interactivity you just use your mouse or scroll wheel to physically turn the pages, as if you were holding the magazine – pretty cool, eh? Not only that, users can also search your document to go straight to what they’re looking for. We can also set up chapter points so that users are able to quickly browse through specific pages of information they’re interested in. 

Not only do we use PDF documents to create a rich multimedia presentation, we also work with Video, Animation, Word, Excel, PowerPoint . Once the files are converted they are uploaded to your website (or we can produce a file to be used direct from your desktop) ready to be viewed.

Another great feature of this format is the conversion to mobile and tablet form. This can be a useful stop-gap if you don’t have a website that is optimised for mobiles or tablets – these are media formats that are on the rise so ignoring this might not be the smartest move. All of our multimedia presentations converted to interactive page turning interactivity will also be optimised for mobile and tablets. 

The ability to ‘share’ with friends via Email or popular social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter also makes for another great feature if you’re trying to spread your message to the World. It’s fast, practical and stylish.
