Publishing dynamic Catalogs and Booklets on-line - that look and feel almost real
NeptuneLabs FSI Pages Add-on presents a collection of images or pages of a PDF document like a printed
booklet. The realistic page turning effect, the automatically generated page index and the proven interactive zoom functionality
of FSI Viewer offers a fascinating way to publish catalogs and image collections on-line. With FSI Pages only a single
high resolution source image per page is required. Time consuming image publishing gets obsolete. With eRez Imaging
Server you can choose an image folder or a search result and publish zoomable on-line booklets with just a few clicks.
You can even use different booklet sizes and different page layouts without changing a single image.
Unbeatable Fast and Easy Publishing
In combination with eRez Imaging Server FSI Pages offers most likely the fastest and easiest way to publish virtual catalogs and image collections currently available.
Based on the contents of a directory or a search query you can publish a booklet including zoom functionality and page index within seconds and a few clicks only.
In detail only the following steps are required:
- Log in to eRez web interface and select a directory (or search for images)
- Click "Publish to Web => Publish as FSI Pages"
- Choose a preset (e.g. "Catalog" or "Photo Album") and select the desired options
- Copy and paste the HTML code to the code of your web site
At the same time FSI Pages offers a wide range of customization options and the possibility to dynamically publish booklets from serverside script.

Flexibility
FSI Pages can be used in any size and even with different levels of image compression or sharpening - just by
editing the HTML code.
Due to single source imaging there is no need for image editing or any other kind of pre-processing. Removing pages from the booklet is as easy as deleting the corresponding image in the imaging servers directory. You can even replace the entire content of a booklet by replacing the images of a directory only.
Converting PDF documents into multiple high resultion source image can easily be accomplished
using well known software like Adobe Acrobat™ or Adobe Photoshop™.
Additionally we offer
a Java based conversion software that ships with FSI pages. This software is additionally capable
of automatically extracting links in PDF documents and converting them into the format required for
FSI Pages.
FSI Pages Add-on provides a large number of possibilities to customize the layout and appearence to
perfectly match the design of your website and to add custom functionality. Many aspects like the layout,
page numbers and showing and hiding parts of the interface can be modified using parameters. The design of the
user interface can be customized with FSI Skins.
FSI Pages ships with two standard skins - a silver and a plain white
skin - both matching the corresponding FSI Viewer skins. Additional skins with custom design and functionality are
available on demand.
The design of the pages can additionally be modified using overlays. For example the photo album you can create with
FSI pages uses a page overlay that adds photo corners, a bevel around the image and text below the photo.
And of course FSI Pages provides interactive zoom with FSI Viewer with no extra work.
Compatibility
FSI Pages is entirely based on Macromedia Flash player client side. The Macromedia Flash™plug-in is by far the
most popular browser plug-in with a penetration of more than 97% of all internet users (source: Macromedia Inc.).
The default setup of the most popular browsers already contains the Flash plug-in.
All plug-ins and skins available for FSI Viewer are 100% compatible to FSI Pages.
Integrating FSI Pages into web pages is as easy as integrating a standard Flash movie into a HTML page. You only
need to add a short HTML code. This is why FSI Pages is compatible to almost every content management system
currently available. Additionally using databases and server-side scripts to manage huge amounts
of images with FSI Pages is very easy.

User Interface and Usability
FSI Pages has been developed to offer fast and intuitive access to the pages presented. Even when presenting
1,000 images and more FSI Pages is ready for use within seconds as the image data is being loaded dynamically. This
way the interface is always responsive - even when zooming a page or loading additional data.
The interface is self-explaining and the page index offers quick access to all pages of a booklet including a preview
of all pages.
When zooming a page the user can zoom, pan and rotate a page interactivley by using the mouse directly on the image.
The optional survey window of FSI Viewer provides an overview and displays the image section currently viewed.
Like the FSI Pages interface FSI Viewer provides tool tips for each interface element and
enables even inexperienced users to unfold the functionality of FSI Pages within seconds.

Scalability
FSI Pages is highly scalable in many ways. You can present thousands of images in a single booklet while each image may have a
resolution of 20,000 by 20,000 pixel and more. This way you can present high resolution booklets which would require a download of several hundret megabytes otherwise. This allows using FSI Pages with large image collections or
large catalogs even in high load environments. For high load environments, NeptuneLabs ZoomCache Application
extends the scalability of Imaging Servers even more.
As FSI Pages loads images and page data dynamically on demand,
FSI Pages may contain thousands of pages without increasing the startup time remarkably.
