UltraPdf documents (*.updf) combine the best features of PDF, HTML (along with all Web enabled multi-media formats including Macromedia Flash, Windows Media Player, QuickTime and Real), JPG and Microsoft Office into a single, easy-to-use document format. UltraPDF documents are both easy to create and easy
to share.

A sample UltraPdf document is available here.

1: Viewing a *.updf document
UltraPdf must be installed in order to view a .updf document. It may be obtained at no charge from www.ultrapdf.com. The easiest way to view a .updf document is to double-click on it. You can also open *.updf documents from UltraPDF.

Note: Users without Microsoft Office may obtain free Word, Excel and PowerPoint viewers from Microsoft.

2: Creating an UltraPDF document
Access UltraPDF from the Start menu. Select the "Create UltraPDF document" tab. Add documents and group headers to the document list. Specify the document information. Create your UltraPDF file by clicking "Save UltraPdf (updf) document."

Add Group: This feature helps you to organize the documents in your UltraPDF document by inserting a group header into the document index.

Add Live URL: This lets you add live web pages to your document. The content of these pages is not stored in your UltraPDF document. The UltraPDF document displays a live web page when viewed.

UltraPDF will store images and resources of HTML pages saved with Microsoft Internet Explorer using the "Web Page, complete" setting. Multiple file selection is supported.

UltraPdf will NEVER display a sponsor page when an UltraPDF document is viewed. However, the free version of UltraPDF will display a sponsor page in your web browser each time you create an UltraPDF document. If you would prefer not to see sponsor pages, you may download a license key for $19.95.

UltraPdf may be uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel.
