how to deploy notebook into player pro

Question

I want to ask how can I deployMathematica notebook into player pro. I know that online conversion to Mathematica player pro is there. But is there any function for player pro as there is CDFDeploy for deploying notebook in CDF?

Answer 1

AFAIK there is nothing you need to do to deploy to Player Pro: you can just give away the notebook as it is. A user with Player Pro can then just shift-return-evaluate the input cells to run the code. The ony thing that can't be done within Player Pro is to edit the notebook, so you have to provide gui-elements for the input the user need to enter...

As Mr. Wizard has mentioned, you could just as well deploy to CDF. When a CDF is opened with Player Pro the restrictions that exist when opening it with CDF-Player will be lifted, so that you can e.g. import from local files, export to all supported formats and load (Encoded) packages. Deploying the following to a CDF-document will generate error messages (OpenRead::sandbox) when run in the CDF-player but work alright in Player Pro:

Button["import",
 Module[{filename = SystemDialogInput["FileOpen"]},
  Print[filename];
  Print[Import[filename]];
  ], Method -> "Queued"]
