Static PDF files limit the impact of your research
Why dynamic papers work better for science
Viewnamic brings your academic publications to life without altering your original manuscript. You can seamlessly embed animations of time and temperature dependent data, 3D structures, or interactive charts to create a highly informative paper. Your peers simply scroll naturally through the research directly in their browser.
Enhance your academic papers with a few clicks
Creating your interactive publication is fast and straightforward. Upload your existing PDF, select the areas where your supplementary media should appear, and link your videos or models. Finally, generate a link to share your enriched research instantly.
Customize your reader for your journal or university
Your publications should reflect your institution’s standards seamlessly. The viewer is fully customizable, allowing you to easily apply specific brand colors, or your university logo. Ensure the best reading experience across all your published materials.
Actionable Statistics for Reader Engagement
While the dynamic experience improves comprehension, detailed analytics help you measure your paper’s impact. Viewnamic shows exactly how long a reader stays on a specific section and which embedded experiments they actually watch.
How Viewnamic differs from traditional PDF tools
Viewnamic keeps your original scientific PDF file size unchanged when adding supplementary media — unlike Adobe, which embeds files directly into the document, making it too large to email. It also offers a true academic reading experience, preserving the strict layout and column readability of scientific formats, whereas flipbook tools convert your document into a distracting magazine-style animation.

FAQs
How can I embed a video (or other content) into a PDF?
To embed a video into a PDF simply upload your file. Then choose the area where the video should appear and upload your video — that’s all it takes.
If you prefer to place the video on top of an existing image, you can upload that image as well. Viewnamic will automatically detect the image inside your PDF and replace it for you.
Why doesn’t Adobe Reader show videos inside PDFs?
Adobe Reader can display videos and other rich media inside a PDF, but most people avoid this method because it only works in a few PDF viewers. If you embed a video using Adobe tools and someone opens the file in Apple Preview or another common PDF reader, the media simply won’t appear.
There’s another drawback: Adobe embeds the video directly into the PDF file, which makes the document extremely large. This breaks email delivery and makes the PDF slow and cumbersome to navigate.
With Viewnamic, your original PDF stays lightweight and unchanged. The dynamic content is delivered through our interactive viewer, so it works reliably across devices without bloating your file.
When using Viewnamic, do I need an internet connection?
Yes. Your original PDF remains unchanged, and all dynamic content is hosted by Viewnamic. You receive a shareable link to your document. When someone opens the link, the PDF is displayed together with the embedded videos — fully compatible with any device or browser.
If you prefer, you can also send the original PDF directly. The recipient can simply drag and drop the file into the Viewnamic PDF reader to view the interactive version.
You can always download the static PDF from the Viewnamic viewer if you need an offline copy.
Do I need special software to view the interactive PDF?
No. Anyone can open your interactive document in a browser — no downloads or plugins required.
