Show the experiment next to the figure and the structure in 3D: add videos, animations and 3D models to papers, course material and reports – without changing the original PDF.
Live example
A scientific paper in which videos play directly on the figures they explain and readers rotate a 3D molecule right on the page – inside the reading flow.

The problem
Processes, experiments and spatial structures are hard to understand from text and still images alone. Videos end up as separate files or links that few readers open, and PDFs with embedded media become too large to share.
The Viewnamic way
Viewnamic places your media exactly where they belong in the document. Readers watch, rotate and explore right on the page – in any browser.
Features
Explain more with the same PDF – and decide who may read it.
Show the experiment, the process or a lecture excerpt right next to the figure it explains.
Molecules, components or buildings that readers rotate and zoom on the page.
An accessible text version of every publication on the same URL – for screen readers, search engines and AI assistants.
Public, link only or secure: decide for each paper or script who may open it and whether search engines may index it.
Link figures and references to datasets, code repositories or further reading.
See how your material is used – without cookies and without storing IP addresses, on servers in Germany.
How it works
No new design, no plugins, no special software for your readers.
Use the finished paper, script or report – layout, formulas and references stay exactly as typeset.
Place videos of experiments, animations or 3D models on the figures and pages they belong to.
Share the link on your course page or by email – or, depending on your plan, embed the document on your website.
Branding
Show the logo and colours of your university, school or institute in the viewer and link back to your website – a consistent look for every document you publish.

Comparison
Viewnamic keeps your original PDF file size unchanged when adding videos – unlike Adobe, which embeds media directly into the file. And it offers a true PDF viewer that preserves layout and readability, while flipbook tools convert your document into their own format and usually offer only page-flip.
Real examples
Reports, papers and course handouts in the Viewnamic viewer – open them exactly as your readers would.
A short report on electric and petrol scooters that invites readers to explore the topic instead of just scrolling past it.
The rules for a padel tennis course of the university sports programme: seven pages in German with helpful videos. A QR code on the printed version leads to the interactive one – shown in the university’s own viewer colours.
