PDF Presenter

Present from PDF with notes, next slide and timer, just like PowerPoint

The speaker sees everything on their monitor. The audience sees only the slide. And the stream gets the live slide, the next one and the presenter screen over NDI.

Who it is for

  • Presentation operators

    The speaker showed up with a PDF. You open it and they present the same way they would in PowerPoint.

  • Production companies with several computers

    Conferences and trade shows with one presentation computer per stage, each with its own license.

  • Streaming crews

    The live slide, the next one and the presenter screen arrive over NDI in vMix, OBS or your switcher.

The speaker sees what is next, with the PowerPoint notes

A PDF does not carry the presenter notes. PDF Presenter pulls them from the original PowerPoint and shows each one on the right slide.

  • Current slide, next slide and notes, with a font you can make bigger or smaller
  • Imports the notes from the original .pptx. Hidden slides are left out, as in the export
  • A timer that starts on its own when you go full screen. With Over Timer on the network, it shows the stage time
  • Black and white screen for the audience, one key each

Try it. Change slides with the buttons or the arrow keys. The main screen and both NDI sources follow.

No screen capture. PDF Presenter sends the clean slide, at the resolution you choose, straight to the network.

  • Program source with the live slide, which follows black and white screen
  • Next Slide source, for the video director
  • Presenter source: the whole presenter screen, for the confidence monitor
  • 720p, 1080p or 4K, from 25 to 60 frames, with each source named the way you want

At the event, you run it from wherever you are

Companion changes slides through the local API, the clicker works with no setup and the keyboard is the backup.

  • Companion controls it through the local API, with the Generic HTTP module
  • Clickers work with no setup: PageUp, PageDown and arrows
  • Background clicker: with full screen live, PageUp and PageDown change slides even with another program in front
  • Using Proteus Switcher? It already reads PDF on the extended screen. PDF Presenter comes in when you need the PDF over NDI

Operator questions

I already have Proteus Switcher. Do I need PDF Presenter?

Only if you need the PDF over NDI. Proteus Switcher has a built-in PDF reader that opens on the extended screen with presenter view and the Over Timer countdown, with no NDI. PDF Presenter is sold separately.

I have five presentation computers at the event. What do I do?

Each license key runs on 1 computer at a time, so you need five keys. The monthly plan is the easy way to cover the computers just for the month of the event. You can cancel anytime.

How does the lifetime license work?

You pay once and use it with no end date. It includes 1 year of updates. After that, the version you have keeps working.

What if the speaker sends PowerPoint instead of PDF?

PDF Presenter opens PDF only. Export to PDF and import the notes from the .pptx, or use Proteus Switcher, which opens PowerPoint directly.

Does it work on Mac?

For now, Windows only. Mac version coming soon.

Can I try it at a real event?

Yes. The 7-day trial key, free when you sign up, unlocks the full app, with no watermark and no time limit. Without a key, the app opens in a 20-minute trial mode, with a watermark on the main screen and NDI.

Open your next PDF with presenter view

7 days with the full app, no watermark, even at an event. Create your free account, download the installer and try it with one of your PDFs. No card needed.
