Thanks everybody,
It's working fine in html but I prefered the pdf feature which allows to zoom in-out and is more portable.
I'm a bite surprise to see a useful downgrade feature, especially when it is a market standard ...

Hi Dan,
The HTML5 export does have the zoom in and out capability, can you be more specific about what is missing so that we can include it?

Sorry for the late reply. I have tested the new html5 functionality.
In conclusion, it's working great.
- I can distribute it whitout problem to non MindManager users
- I can drill down the branches
- I can move around and zoom in-out
Only one suggestion : communicate the good news. Explain that the pdf was replaced by html5 and what can be done with it.

Hi Dan, Glad to hear you are satisfied, we did do a lot of communication about it when it was first released. You can also follow the progress and support of features in the release notes here http://download.mindjet.com/MindManag... are always looking for feedback so if you find anything missing or have suggestions let us know!
If you don't have a export to PDF option anymore, how can you add multiple Maps and put them in to a master PDF document? I have 6 maps I need to combine and put in to one PDF document and add text to the document. It doesn't look like you can do either of those things through the HTML5 Interactive Map feature.
Thanks
Thanks

You can do this by saving images of each your maps, then combining them in a Word or similar document, adding text and printing/saving that file as a PDF.
I too miss the straight export to PDF facility, but even with this you would have had to combine the separate PDFs of the maps using a full version of Acrobat or some other PDF editing program. Using images of the maps to do this in Word is probably simpler, especially if you want to add text.

Well CC???
Another solution is to combine your maps into One Dashboard map and export that to HTML 5
Much more convenient. And you could add your text in the dashboard map.
How it's done is described many times before in this commmunity.

Awesome! Would love to hear your experience with the latest version.

Thank you, guys, I am aware of printing into a pdf. But this is a workaround, and I often bumped into pdf printers that don't translate into pdf well-enough (e.g. because of the way they handle margins and such - since this is "virtual printing").
My point here was a tad different. There definitely are workarounds for this and most issues, but I simply don't understand why we, as users, are supposed to resort to those in case of a 350$/license software. Especially for such a fundamental/basic thing as saving/exporting to PDF. MindManager has always been meant and targeted at a corporate user, and hence I really am expecting saving/export into such a widely-spread format as pdf built-into the software.

Well, for questions about product development, release management, this is not the best place. We may agree with you, but that does not give you the satisfaction you would like.
I suggest you contact your reseller or Corel/ Mindjet direct. They can inform you about the reasons behind design decisions.
This community is mostly meant to help with issues like "how to" etc.

What a useless answer.
The correct answer is "You can't any more because they removed that vital feature from the app.". In which case forvatera's questions/response is perfectly valid: "Why would they remove such an essential key feature that is used by a large number of their clients?" Now I agree that YOU might not be able to answer that but:... if these essential questions are posted in as many places (and reviews) as possible, an answer might be provided or better still: They'll put the essential feature back into the app! It is bad practice to get good reviews based on key features only to remove those features and still profit. Paying so much money only to find out that an expected feature was removed does not create a good user experience so the only way to give the satisfaction that you mention is to create awareness of these bad practices in as many places as possible. I will be posting about this in reviews and in comments sections because of your response to forvetara so maybe you have helped after all. Everyone else should do the same and spread the word about these shark practices.
