MyBusinessCatalog

MyBusinessCatalog Free is a software application built specifically for helping you design electronic catalogs and burn them to a CD, DVD or flash card.

The user interface is not clean and seems crowded at a first sight, as you don’t know where to get started. In order to make the most out of every single built-in feature, you should consult the help menu.

The program gives users the possibility to add SWF files to the list, and you can also preview them directly in the primary pane. Unfortunately, you cannot stop or pause the current selection, or skip to a specific position in the video stream.

You can upload images to the list, provided that the file format is JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF or WMF. The photos can be imported from the Clipboard content or default scanner.

It features an animation editor that allows you to set the time and pick the rotation angle and resolution. You can move the picture with the mouse cursor in the working environment, apply zooming options, insert tables and text messages which can be customized in terms of font style, number, size, color and alignment.

Any unnecessary adjustments can be easily rolled back, thanks to its built-in buttons. You may create a list with other files to be included in the final catalog.

You can import price lists into the catalog from XLS, ODS, DBF, XML, CSV, HTML, or plain text files. You can edit and arrange the column headers, namely code, description, price, options, manufacturer, images, full description, and others.

MyBusinessCatalog Free comes packed with a wide range of templates for helping you design price lists, PDF and HTML catalogs. Each preset list can be edited in a separate pane which bundles many dedicated parameters.

Plus, you can burn the newly created catalogs to a CD, DVD or flash card with auto run options, and pick the language. It is also possible to build catalogs that are compatible with Android devices.

You can add general information about the company, namely phone, fax, address, email and website. The generated catalogs can be printed, sent via email with your default client, saved to PDF, or published to websites via FTP servers.

Overall, MyBusinessCatalog Free comes packed with useful features but the GUI is not at all intuitive, and you may spend some time trying to set up the entire creation process of electronic catalogs.
