WHY ARE WE FANS
of interactive PDFs when it comes to prototyping apps
- It’s very fast to create them (rapid prototyping).
- Show interactive demos without writing a single line of code.
- You can use your favorite graphic / DTP tools to create the PDFs.
- PDF is a cross platform format.
HISTORY
Link Viewer was in fact created because we needed it for ourselves. Before app coding starts, we create interactive prototypes. A quick way is to put the screens into a PDF and link them. We found no decent viewer for this use-case, so we built our own.
With Link Viewer, the experience closely resembles the real app. No distractions (like viewer menus, overlays) interfere with the presentation. No accidental swipes to turn the pages, just plain hyperlink navigation. Also clients can take a test device back home for testing. Nothing can go wrong because no changes can be done from within the app. It just works.
