ThinDoc: About

In a nutshell, ThinDoc is a simple, full-screen, zero footprint, Adobe-free PDF Viewer. It provides the basic functions you would expect from a online document reader, but without the fuss of having to download any software or the PDF itself (though you have that option).

Here are a few great documents that show the true power of this application:

• Atalasoft Documentation PDF
• Atalasoft AJAX White Paper
• Our Often-used Demo TIFF

Page Support

If you chose to add ThinDocified links directly to your page like so:

http://www.atalasoft.com/31apps/thindoc/?url=http://yourURLhere.com/yourPdf.pdf

you can also include the page number for the viewer to jump to using an additional parameter called "page". It would look something like this:

http://www.atalasoft.com/31apps/thindoc/?url=http://yourURLhere.com/yourPdf.pdf&page=5.

How can I use this?

Get the ThinDoc Bookmarklet and you will be able to open PDFs from any site in ThinDoc! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Drag this ThinDocify bookmarklet link to your Bookmarks Bar (or just as a Favorite).
2. Go to your favorite web page that has links to PDF documents.
3. Click on your ThinDoc Bookmarklet in your Bookmarks Bar.
4. Click the links to the PDFs on that page.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4.

You can also add this script to the bottom of your web pages and it will automatically convert all PDF links to open in ThinDoc for all of your viewers.

<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- (function() { var i; for(i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++) { var url = document.links[i].href; if((url.substring(url.length-3, url.length) == 'pdf' || url.substring(url.length-3, url.length) == 'tif') && url.indexOf('?') == -1) { document.links[i].href = 'javascript:window.open(\'http://www.atalasoft.com/31apps/ThinDoc/?url=' + escape(url) + '\',\'_thindoc\');';document.links[i].target = '_thindoc'; } } })(); --> </script>
