Intuitive, Interactive Digital Documents
This new innovative digital publishing solution offered by RR Donnelley Premedia Technologies converts existing PDF files into dynamic online digital publications. DigiMagSM features a unique page-turning functionality that mimics a real paper document. It has the look and feel of a traditional print publication with the convenience and enhanced functionality of digital delivery.
With DigiMagSM, publishers can extend the value of their print publications online. DigiMagSM offers a cost-effective way to share, sell, and enhance a publisher’s printed publication.
For Advertisers, DigiMagSM provides an opportunity to deliver powerful, rich-media messaging and to measure its impact in a way that’s only possible online. With DigiMagSM, readers can interact with content and directly access advertiser’s websites with just one click, while advertisers can create a richer, more lasting interaction with the reader.
DigiMagSM does not require a user to download and install additional client reader software to their PC or MAC. Users gain access to a publisher’s digital publications through their current Internet browser and the standard flash plug-in already present in most every Internet enabled computer today. This insures that publishers don't miss out on exposure to the many people or subscribers that would not install additional software on their PC to view or read the digital publication.
