Understanding packages

Often people want to save the documents they browse on their computers to be able to access them later offline. This task is successfully accomplished with Ad Annihilator (see Understanding offline browsing). However, people want to be able to hand over these documents to other people, transfer them to another computer or save them in archive for later access. This is achieved with Ad Annihilator, too!

There are two ways to share web documents offline:

• Ad Annihilator projects for sharing of all files browsed by users and filters and organizer links as well. See Understanding projects for more information;

• Ad Annihilator packages for sharing of only certain offline documents.

Ad Annihilator package is a file storing multiple offline documents in it. You are able to create (export) packages in Ad Annihilator running on a single computer with a single project and then import them back to Ad Annihilator running on another computer or with another project. This way you are able to transfer documents between computers and projects easily. You may create as many packages as you wish and share them with your friends or build your own document archive.

Note that Ad Annihilator package is a compressed file so it is usually useless to compress it once more with archiving software. Ad Annihilator package is already optimized for transfer or archiving!

Physically, Ad Annihilator package is a single file with ,aak extension appended to package name you have chosen.
