About Inzone Software

Click to Convert is developed by Inzone Software Limited. Inzone is a privately owned company based in Auckland, New Zealand and has been dedicated to helping businesses with innovative software solutions since 1996.

Click to Convert, first released in Nov 1999, was developed in response to issues related to the creation of documents for the web - lack of people with sufficient skills, time or patience to faithfully reproduce documents to HTML. Prior to Click to Convert there was no easy way to move documents to the web or intranet while keeping faithful to the original.

Click to Convert has been well received by reviewers and customers alike. ZDNet gave Click to Convert 8.3/10 and stated “Click to Convert provides robust and intelligent functionality that can be used in conjunction with a broad range of applications”. Satisfied customers include large, multinational companies, universities, schools and government agencies such as EDS, J.A.G., NorthWestern University, National Cancer Institute (USA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Now, Inzone again has responded to market demand. After 2 years or research Inzone has produced Click to Convert 5.0 and PurePage, an extremely powerful, automated conversion technology for network administrators and developers.

Watch their publishing status in the "Document List" then view the published files. This can be found by double-clicking the Click to Convert icon on your desktop.
     
  4. What is the process of turning the trial version of Click to Convert into the fully registered version?
    You will first need to ensure that the trial version of Click to Convert (available for download from http://www.clicktoconvert.com) is installed on each computer you intend to register. When you place an order for Click to Convert you are supplied with a registration key via email that will turn the trial version into a fully registered version.

  6. How do I upgrade from a previous version of Click to Convert?
    There are three ways to upgrade as outlined below. If you are an existing customer with:

    Upgrade Insurance purchased in the past 12 months - download and install the trial version. Click to Convert should automatically update and become fully registered. If this does not occur and you think that you qualify for a free upgrade, please contact sales@clicktoconvert.com for a new registration key.

    Upgrade Insurance purchased more than 12 months ago - download and install the trial version. You need to purchase "Renew Upgrade Insurance" for the number of licenses of your original order.

At the time of purchasing, you can also choose whether you would like to purchase Upgrade Insurance to cover you for the next minor releases or major release of Click to Convert.

Please visit www.purepage.com for more information and to download the free trial.
     
  10. Can I include the Click to Convert technology (Purepage) inside my application or software?

HTML QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  1. How do I ensure that the embedded links in my MS Office documents (table of contents, bookmarks and hyperlinks) are converted into HTML?
    You can do this using two different publishing methods. The first is to click the green and orange Click to Convert button on the toolbar in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint. The second is to drag and drop one or multiple files onto the Click to Convert "Batch Publishing" window found by double clicking the Click to Convert icon on your desktop. Your embedded links will not publish if you click "File" then "Print" to the Click to Convert printer in your Microsoft Office applications.
     
  2. Can I use the headings or styles from Microsoft Word to create a table of contents?
    Yes. To automatically create navigation in your HTML rendition, first highlight the appropriate text and choose your heading styles inside Microsoft Word. You can manage how Click to Convert publishes these headings by clicking on the "Click to Convert" menu item in Microsoft Word then choosing "Change Office Options". Here you can choose how the HTML navigation tree looks for your documents on a global level. 
     
  3. How do I link the HTML version of my document to the PDF version?
    When Click to Convert creates an HTML rendition of your document, you can automatically choose to link to an exact PDF rendition of the same document. This can be useful for printing or if your viewers would like to download the PDF file. Create a link to the PDF file on the HTML navigation toolbar by ensuring the "Include link to PDF document" option is checked under HTML Options’ Output à Navigation options in the Publish Settings window.
     
  4. Can I edit the HTML output of Click to Convert once I've converted my document?
    Yes, you can open the output of Click to Convert in a web editing tool such as Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and Macromedia DreamWeaver to make your changes.
     
  5. My document is unusually wide or tall (like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or a Genealogy chart) - how can I ensure that it all comes out on the one HTML page?
    Most applications let you set the paper size that you print out onto. Note, the paper sizes do vary from application to application. Since Click to Convert operates like a printer, you can modify how much is displayed on each HTML page by changing the paper size.  Choose between the standard sizes or create your own custom sized page.
     
  6. My converted pages appear larger than my original document - why is this?
    Many applications display your documents zoomed-in so that you can see them on your computer screen. This may be smaller than the actual print size.  For example, Microsoft Excel often displays its documents at 88% and Microsoft Word at 75% so you can see your documents on the screen. However, when these documents are rendered they can appear larger since they are published at 100%.
     
  7. Can I edit the name of the HTML files to something other than "index.html" during the publishing process?
    Yes. You can change the name and file extension of your published documents during the publishing process by clicking on HTML Options’ Output à Web Page Options. This gives you the flexibility to ensure that the web pages that Click to Convert produces matches the remainder of your web site or intranet.
     
  8. I have several worksheets inside one MS Excel workbook. Will Click to Convert publish them all or just the active sheet? Will they somehow be joined?
    Click to Convert has additional support for Microsoft Excel Workbooks. You can choose whether you would like to publish the active worksheet or the entire workbook by clicking on the "Click to Convert" menu item then "Change Office Options" within Microsoft Excel. Click to Convert will extract the names of the worksheets and link them all with navigation at the bottom of the HTML page (similar to navigating around your worksheets while inside Excel).
     
  9. How can I zoom my document so that the HTML fits onto a specific screen size?
    Click to Convert has a zoom feature that you will find under HTML Options à Zoom. This feature allows you to scale your documents to a specified width which allows you to proportionally reduce or enlarge your pages. Some applications also allow you to adjust the size of your documents in the native application e.g. Microsoft Excel has a print option where you simply adjust the size of your document by a percentage (%) - this will allow you to fit more content onto the screen.
     
  10. Can I place more than one page from my original document onto each HTML page?
    Yes, you can merge web pages from the HTML Options à Output à Web Page Options section under the Publish Settings window. Choose how many pages you would like to appear on each HTML page. If you would like to place all the pages from your original documents onto one HTML page, simply enter "0" (zero).
     
  11. Can I automatically upload the HTML to the web site?
    Yes. When publishing, look for Remote Publishing under the General Options screen. Enter your details and Click to Convert will automatically upload your published HTML and PDF files.
     
  12. I uploaded my converted pages to my web site but they look completely different to when I viewed them on my computer - even my images are missing!  Why is this?
    Not a problem - ensure that you upload everything in the main folder, including the images and other files, and layout will appear as per your original document. If you know the final location of your converted files on your web site, use the in-built Remote Publishing or FTP (file transfer protocol) function to ensure that everything is uploaded correctly.
     
  13. How can my visitors print out the entire document once it is online?
    Click to Convert provides two methods for printing your document. You can either provide a printable version in HTML or a link to the PDF rendition of the same document. If you would like to provide an HTML printable version, ensure the option "Enable Printing Support in HTML Documents" is checked. This can be found by clicking on HTML Options à Printing in the Publish Settings window.

    As additional information, printing of all HTML pages is controlled by the browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer etc…) and each of your visitors may have their browser set up differently. Some may have wide margins or include headers and footers that are different in your browser. For this reason, we recommend reducing the size of printable version of your document. This will not alter the appearance of the published version.
     
  14. Can I make the HTML versions of my documents look just like my web site or intranet?
    Yes, using Click to Convert's Template feature. Templates allow you to automatically create HTML pages that look like your corporate intranet or web site (including all links, layout and formatting). Users can simply specify a custom HTML template and Click to Convert will wrap this template around the HTML renditions that it publishes.
     
  15. How much knowledge of HTML do I need to be able to use this feature?
    If you have a basic knowledge of constructing HTML, you will find the template feature very simple. For example, do you know what you are looking at when you see a web page in HTML or could you construct a basic page in HTML? There are many web sites and online tutorials that will take you through the basics and this is recommended before you use the template feature.
     
  16. A practical example showing how to use templates with Click to Convert.
    We have provided a sample using Purepage.com web site. If you have a basic understanding of HTML, you will easily be able to follow this example. You will then be able to continue and integrate the HTML documents (that you render using Click to Convert) with your template.
     
  17. Is Click to Convert a substitute for a web editing program?
    No, Click to Convert complements your existing web editor. Click to Convert creates HTML from existing files that can be used as a part of your web site or on your intranet - everyone has a web browser. You can edit the results of Click to Convert in many web editing tools such as Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and Macromedia Dreamweaver. You can also integrate your newly created HTML documents into the template for your corporate web site or intranet. Read the Templates section of this document for more information.
