This tool allows you to import a PDF file of a catalog and turn it into an interactive experience for your customers.  Your customers can use their mouse to flip the pages of the catalog and zoom in on certain items.  Here are some other features of this software:

  • Text search

  • Viewers can download and/or print the PDF
  • Table of contents interface
  • Ability to create bookmarks
  • Thumbnail view of all of the pages for easier browsing
