The demo on the developer’s site doesn’t appear to work either. There are some questions and answers at the bottom of the demo page that might help you.
Hi… Just presenting this as an option as it doesn’t really answer your RapidViewer issue. We offer Powerpoints/Keynotes and for “sample slides” I simply used the “Export” feature to save each slide as a .jpg. Then just present the jpg’s however you want. Just an option if you can’t get RapidViewer to work.
@NeilUK & @1611mac hey chaps, thanks for your most welcome input, i have now read the SMALL PRINT and found the cause of my problem.
The Powerpoint file i have, has the PPS extension which i can see is not compatible with RapidViewer !!!
I will have to load it into Keynote, if it will, and perhaps i can then Save As something that is compatible
I actually have my Keynotes/Powerpoint samples as pdf files on the website. That makes them a lot more compatible with with people are used to doing on the web. They can download them as pdfs and page through the sample presentation. Of course, you have to properly explain that “real” file is an actual PowerPoint or Keynote and not a pdf.
When one’s customer base is so much Windows based one must bite the bullet and grudgingly use Windows too - but only as necessary!
I ease the problem by having a Windows Virtual Machine on my Mac. That way at least all the keyboard shortcuts match up, etc. That makes it slightly less painful
I tried Rapid Viewer but gave up on it. I have just been embedding Word, PowerPoint type of documents on a page or a slider and they work fine. I just use the HTML stack, and get the embed code from the OneDrive online file and then paste that code into the HTML stack.
@ricinport Fair enough Ric, maybe not, as you say the most illustrative, but a lot better than some of the others and then there are those posts where the OP doesnt acknoledge any replies ! https://stacks4stacks.com/embed/
i have now found out that a good free alternative to Rapidviewer is the EMBED stack from Will Woodgate
