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 At 01:24 AM 10/08/2006, Hector Maletta wrote: >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? >Hector > >-----Mensaje original----- >De: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] En nombre de Rohan >Lulham >Enviado el: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 10:35 PM >Para: [hidden email] >Asunto: Smart Viewer > >Hello, > >I am a PhD student and hopefullt just about finished.
