Getting Started

You will want to be clear about what file formats are supported on your new ExhibitView 5 iPad© application. The following file formats are supported and may be added to presentations via Dropbox, Camera Roll and other import options we will discuss later. Some of these limitations are imposed by Apple, Inc., not ExhibitView Solutions, LLC. Documents:

1. PDF 2. TIFF 3. DOCX 4. DOC 5. XLSX 6. XLS

Images:

1. JPEG 2. GIF 3. PNG 4. BMP

Audio/Video

1. Mp3 (audio) 2. Mp4 (video)

Extras:

1. PowerPoint 2. Keynote

If you have files that need conversion contact us at ExhibitView Support, [email protected] and/or call at 706-622-3305 We can convert any type file for you for a very low fee for use on the iPad.

PDF CONSIDERATION: If you have large PDF files, they can be slow to appear on the iPad. Remember, iPad is not a full blown computer. That said, we can also “Optimize” your

PDF files for a nominal charge too. This will make them potentially easier to work with in ExhibitView iPad. Dropbox is a PC/Cloud Based Storage Service. Users store and move digital files from one PC to another with ease. ExhibitView iPad uses Dropbox to move items from your PC to your iPad. You must create a free Dropbox account to move assets/exhibits into our iPad app. First, go to www.dropbox.com and create a free account. 2.5 GIG is the “freebie” account and big enough for you to transfer ALL case data for the vast majority of presentations/trials. Once your Dropbox account is created, you can launch ExhibitView and associate our app with your Dropbox account by putting in your user name and password (see IMG B) IMG B

Tools

Annotation tools are turned on/off by tapping the associated icons above.

Other tools include callout, rotate, highlight text, straight pen, freehand pen, undo, redo, and erase markup. We also have a screen/snapshot camera icon where the user can take a snapshot of a marked up item to create a new exhibit. ExhibitView places saved screenshot images in "Saved Exhibits" folder.

Keep in mind, once you tap a button to turn on, you might need to tap again to turn it off to use another function/feature of ExhibitView iPad. For more in depth descriptions, see below.

Tools & Descriptions:

Callout Zoom This tool allows the user to select an area of a document (typically documents) and callout the section thus enlarging it. Users should drag to the right and down selecting the area of interest. Again, tap, hold and drag to the right and downward until you encompass the entire area of interest. A light blue overlay indicates the section of the asset you are calling out. Double tap on the callout to close it.

Presentation Screen & Navigation

1. Presentation View. The ExhibitView presentation screen is where assets/exhibits are moved to show to a jury/audience. To further express what I mean, see below. The screen on left is what YOU see; the screen on the right is what the jury sees:

Your View Jury View

2. Multi-Page Documents. User can move multi-page documents into the presentation area and you have two ways to navigate.

a. Drag/Swipe up/dn to move to the next page b. Use Navigation control to jump to first, last or any page in-between.

3. SEARCH. You can search for items in your library by using the search box at the top of

your exhibit Library.

Exhibit In Use Indicator

The exhibit library now closes automatically to allow for more room and a cleaner presentation screen. Because of the "hiding" library, we added a new feature that will highlight in light purple, the last item that was in your presentation screen. If you put a folder of exhibits together or if your moving through items one at a time, this indicator will help you remember what you were last showing, allowing you to tap the next item.

This item "in use" (light purple background) and will stay highlighted until you choose another item. Visually tap through a pre-planned list of exhibits. Each time you tap, your library will close and upon reopening the library, you will see where you left off.
