PDFhelp - Superior JavaHelp replacement for all Java Developers

PDFhelp is a free JavaHelp replacement program from IDRsolutions, which is designed to offer superior help functionality for all developers. Based on PDF, rather than HTML, PDFhelp offers a very easy and interactive way to add interactive online help to any Java programs.

JavaHelp requires fiddling with HTML, whereas PDFhelp only needs you to update the original PDF and ship the file. Formatting and styling is done in your word processing package so its time saving and easier. The end result is a professional looking PDF that substitutes seamlessly with JavaHelp.

PDFhelp offers a large number of additional features (including the JPedal PDF search functionality) under a simple licensing scheme.

 

PDF library

PDFhelp makes extensive use of the JPedal PDF library, and its enhanced search functionality. If you are looking for a Java library for viewing PDFs and extraction, visit http://www.jpedal.org
