If you are a publisher, association or even a corporation and have a magazine or journal with lots of back issues, Realview can help you digitize your back catalog and give your print publications a new and highly valuable digital life in the form of a digital magazine archive.

The simple pdf conversion using the latest archive software will see each of your issues presented as exact digital replicas of the original publication, page by page, cover to cover. Not only does this online magazine archive software allow you to retain the look and feel of your original magazine, but allows publishers to comply with the original copyright.

Unlock content and revenue

Getting your PDFs online as a digital magazine archive is only the start. Once in the Partica platform, you can search your back issues and selectively extract articles using our content extraction tools, and give your never seen on the internet content a new digital life.

Extracted content can easily be given a refresh and re-used in other parts of your business. You may be surprised at the amount of evergreen content that is in your past PDFs and how easy it is to get out, update and distribute.

Whether you want to boost your website presence, extract content to use for your clients content marketing needs, or simply need some new content for your blog, the Partica extraction tools make it simple.

Read the Kalmbach Model Railroader case study

The team at Kalmbach Publishing believed in the preservation and accessibility of their extensive Model Railroader back log. After 7 years, relying on a static DVD box set for their archive was becoming unmanageable and costly and they chose Realview to help bring their magazine archive to life online.

Flexible paywall options

Realview offers simple flexible  integrations that plays well with any subscription management system, supporting single logins, group logins, enterprise subscriptions, library and university solutions, member subscriptions and online registrations. 

The digital magazine archive solution is built on the brand new Partica platform and is delivered using HTTPS so privacy is not a concern. If you want to control access yourself,  access to the archive is controlled using JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Gone are the days of complex integrations through APIs, storing multiple versions of user information – implementation through your own gateway can be achieved in record time with little complexity. In most cases just a few lines of code can integrate your gating system with the Partica Publishing JWT access.

Integrated metadata and search

Metadata can greatly enhance the reader experience and the effectiveness of the built in search functionality of your archive. Metadata is extra information about each issue, such as the article headline, keywords, even what type of content is on each page. This metadata can be imported when your archive is created, or inputted or edited ongoing using our web based dashboard.

When a user performs a search, both the page text and the metadata is searched with the results returned almost instantly even when searching the entire archive. The search supports advanced Lucene query syntax requests such as fuzzy, proximity, term boosting and wildcards.  The search can be targeted to specific fields such as a keyword in the title of an article.

I have utilised Realview's services with both my Australian and New Zealand media enterprises. Their ability to compliment our strategies assisted us in winning several major publishing awards as well as significantly grow equity in our operations through the development of compelling engagement touch-points. Since the sale of my two companies I now consult to media enterprises and always recommend the use of Realview's suite of services especially in this changing media landscape.

We have been with Realview since we began to digitise our magazines well over a decade ago. They've always been super supportive. We have had very specific requirements when connecting our magazines with our customers and Realview have always worked to ensure these were met.

Richard and his team have made it very easy for a not-for-profit organisation like ours to get our magazines online. The Flipbook and Article View formats are excellent and give users great flexibility. Responses to our requests have always been very quick and communications are easy.

As director of a small publishing company, I have dealt with Richard and Realview for several years, as we transitioned out of print publishing into digital. The product is superb, and the ease of content upload and publishing is world-class. Couldn't recommend more highly.

I have worked extensively with Richard and his team over the last 10 years and have nothing but the highest praise for the Partica Realview team and all their products. I have published 7 member only Association titles including membership magazines and scientific journals hassle free. After extensive research we chose Realview over other platforms for the ease of use, quick turn around times, increased functionality including placing our titles in a members only space and being able to provide mobile responsive versions as well as flip-books. All this plus being able to chat on the phone with someone whenever you want support.
