Smart Viewer

Rohan Lulham
Hello,

I am a PhD student and hopefullt just about finished. I was wanting to
include as electronic attachments some analysis output. The intention is to
put it on a DVD which accompanies thesis.

Would it be possible to use the  smartviewer module to include data output
on the DVD and have an examiner view the output even if they do not have
SPSS base module?

I find all the information on the web on SmartViewer quite unclear - (e.g.
stand alone and web based).

Thanks for your time and any help appreciated.

Regards Rohan

I do not use the Smart Viewer myself, but I know it was invented precisely
for purposes like yours, to be used on its own without needing the main
software.
On the other hand, unless your examiner wants to play with your pivot
tables, turning rows into columns and such like, which I think the Viewer
can do, why don't you just turn your SPSS output into a PDF document and put
that into your DVD?

Hi Hector,

Thanks for your reply - and yep your suggestion is what I have decided to
do. The main issue was that I thought I would not be able to get the same
navigation as with SPSS output - but as it turns out is pretty much
identical in pdf once work out how to do it. We worked out that PDF writer
will recognise the SPSS heading put in an rtf exported output and will -
once you work it out - automatically  bookmarks all headings to provided an
outline view in a column to the left. It basically work exactly the same.

Much appreciated

Regards Rohan
