New version of jPDFProcess, jPDFViewer and jPDFNotes features a new callout annotation which combines a text box with a line and an arrow for highlighting text or objects in a PDF. The new version of jPDFNotes also features a new calibration tool.

The new libraries, jPDFProcess and jPDFSecure, also feature enhanced digital signatures which can be customised for custom appearances.

A quick method to integrate PDF-capable apps with iPhones, iPads and iPods

Rowan Hanna — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:52:38 +0000

For those using a Mac – you’re in luck, an anonymous blogger on www.MacOSXHints.com has shared a very quick method to enable easy integration between PDF-capable apps on iPhone, iPod and iPad devices.

The idea is to add any PDF-capable app to the PDF Services menu which then allows users to transfer the print preview of a document to another app as a PDF document.

The blogger shared this idea in context of integration between iTunes, a digital media player application and iBook 1.1, an app for viewing PDF files. The integration allows users to add PDF documents or web pages to iTunes from the iBook PDF viewer.

The method is simple to create an alias of iTunes (e.g. alias named as ‘Save PDF to iTunes) and include it in ~/Library/PDF Services on the Mac. Once this is done, next time a user is viewing a PDF document or a web page on their iBook and would like to add this document to iTunes for later reading — the user simply clicks ‘Print’ and selects ‘Save PDF to iTunes’. This launches iTunes and saves the PDF document.

Karl De Abrew — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:56:35 +0000

Adobe has just announced the availability of the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK which will allow mobile companies to authorize their mobile phones and handheld devices to download, manage and read E-books and PDF files. The SDK enables text-reflow which is a feature deemed by E-book readers as extremely necessary for maximum reading experience. Text re-flow means that document text automatically adapts to the reader’s preferred screen size while maintaining layout integrity.

Adobe Reader Mobile SDK also supports Epub file format which will greatly enhance and speed up E-book contents online over time. In addition, the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK also provides customizable rights management which will allows publishers to set partial, temporary or permanent access to anyone they wish to give it to, as if someone is borrowing from an actual library. It’s just that they will be borrowing and reading the books using their mobile phones.
