Full Native PDF Support

ATLAS.ti's full native PDF support lets you work with PDF files in their native layout, just the way you would expect it. No ifs and buts.

ATLAS.ti treats your PDF documents exactly like the Acrobat Reader: Work as smoothly and flexibly as you would in Acrobat, utilize bookmarks and tables of content, scrolling, and flexible page views. And code to your heart's delight - text, images, anything that's on the page, down to whatever level of detail you desire! Annotate, comment, link, search and query, visualize your results - it's what computer-based data analysis was always meant to be. 

Other QDA packages make you strip PDFs down to primitive text files, which is hardly an adequate way of working. But with ATLAS.ti 6 you are able to keep your original PDFs untouched—layout, graphics, tables and all—so your primary data always remains uncorrupted and complete.

Better yet, you can move freely through your documents and code any section you like, regardless if it's text or graphics. Smooth scrolling, zooming, searching and auto-coding make your work a breeze. Navigation tools and thumbnail images keep you “on track” every step of the way.

Consider the enormous possibilities:

• Work on Web pages saved to PDF, thus securely maintaining their original layout, graphics, and--most important--all their actual content at the time of visiting.
• Directly access a plethora of publicly available resources such as research papers, business reports, conference proceedings, press releases, and so much more. Now it's all at your fingertips--without conversion or additional steps of any kind.
• And last but not least, use output from practically ANY computer application as your primary documents: By creating a PDF document (via a simple printer driver) you can now directly use material created in nearly any program, such as PowerPoint, Open Office, ATLAS.ti itself (!) as well as graphics, statistics, reporting, authoring, accounting and all sorts of business software as your primary documents.

The possibilities are truly endless and extremely exciting!
