INTRODUCTION

December 13, 2012 — Using applications that transform web sites, PDF file and Microsoft word (DOC) files into stand alone desktop applications  is a very powerful way to create electronic books, E –publication that can be distributed among students, customers and other end users. In fact there is nothing like HTML files, PDF file and DOC files that can organize text, pictures, Videos, and audio files into a single page in a very practical way. However the problem is that your end user can manipulate these files, modify them, edit them and reuse them. You need to protect your files.

Using applications that transform web sites, PDF file and Microsoft word (DOC) files into stand alone desktop applications are  very powerful tools that can pack all your files into a stand alone EXE executable applications that have the following characteristics

  1. They Protect html, PDF and DOC pages and content using security profiles; restrict user rights (disable copy to clipboard, PRINT SCREEN, print).
  2. Add a table of contents, a search system and a favorite manager easily. Use websites as help in your applications.
  3. You can create search engine that can search thousand of HTML files in seconds, you can use wild cards, bolean logic (and, or and not). Search words are high lighted thus making it easy to files them in the corresponding pages
  4. Make trial or evaluation versions. Set up expiration options or limitations, send registration keys to customers or use online activation.
  5. Show messages or splash screens, open programs; customize everything with integrated scripting support.
  6. Show messages or splash screens, open programs; customize everything with integrated scripting support.
  7. Design attractive user interfaces with skin support  and multiple window options.
  8. Insert your company name, logo in your ebooks. Advertise your company.
  9. All source files (HTML, PDF, images, CSS, media, JavaScript code...) are strongly compressed and protected in order to make compact, secure executable files useful for distribution or archiving, without losing performance.
  10. Passwords offered to the end users are system-locked and are usable in a single computer only (single system, single user license)
  11. The applications can be uploaded in the internet to be downloaded by end users. If the application is a freeware, that is it. However if the applications are not free of charge, you can created system locked application that can be used only in a single computer (that means the paid passwords you give to the end users are system-locked and will unlock the application in a single computer only and will be completely useless if used in anther computer).
  12. The Final exe applications can be used as web browsers. They allow end users to access specific web contents and with the sufficient java scripts, they can be supplied with an address bar that allow end users to freely surf though the internet.

All my ebooks are created by web compilers which I personally found them very powerful and doing the job in a wonderful way. You can download an example by clicking here, It is an example of HTML to exe application.
