SchoolDisplay

An easy-to-use digital bulletin board designed for schools.

Ein ausführliches deutsches Handbuch ist hier verfügbar.

How does it work?

This Windows application displays successively and repeatedly all PDF files in a configured directory in full screen mode and scrolls through them from top to bottom. It is also possible to use UNC paths that refer to network shares - changes are applied in real-time.

SchoolDisplay is a fully featured digital bulletin board - not only for use in schools.

Features

• Uses PDF as universal content format
• Supports network shares as file source
• Automatic scrolling (customizable speed)
• Real-time file updates
• Configuration of scheduled display on/off times
• Fullscreen mode
• A Clock 🕒

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Operating System: Windows 7 or higher (recommended: Windows 10)
• .NET Framework 4.8 (preinstalled on some versions of Windows 10)

Installation

1. Download the latest release (SchoolDisplay_x.y.z.zip) and unzip it
2. Edit the configuration file SchoolDisplay.exe.config - make sure to change PdfDirectoryPath and your display times.
3. Run SchoolDisplay.exe and have some fun! 🎉

Usage

Just change the files in your PdfDirectoryPath (you should probably use a network share to do that). The screen contents will update in real-time.
