Pdf+ UIQ3 arrives for W950i

Published by at

Unlike P990 and M600 where Pdf+ is included in the ROM, the Sony Ericsson W950 Walkman smartphone doesn't have a built in PDF reader. With this new release, it is now possible to read PDF files while listening to your favourite music collection in your W950.
You can red Steve's review of Pdf+ here. Please note this is the S60 version, but the core rendering engine is the same in both versions of the program.

Author's Description 

Pdf+ (for UIQ 3.x Smartphones) can display a large number of PDF 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 files. Pdf+ silently ignores some unimplemented features and non-conforming PDF files, it will complain about other unimplemented features and non-conforming PDF files. Pdf+ is designed especially for Smartphones and Communicators. As these devices are still less powerful than desktop computers, some less-often used PDF constructs are not available.

  • Pdf+ can display text in almost any language, in particular when the font used has been embedded. Otherwise, Pdf+ will use the installed fonts to display text. This will only succeed when a ToUnicode translation table has been embedded in the document and when the substituted font contain the used characters.
  • For Simplified and Traditional Chinese documents using Type 0 fonts, you need to install the optional Simplified and Traditional Chinese extensions during installation. Documents using Japanese and Korean Type 0 fonts cannot be read at this time.
  • For non-Unicode encodings, if the ToUnicode translation table is available, the text can also be searched successfully.
  • Pdf+ can only display the complete Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts if you have the appropriate font files installed on your device. The built-in fonts only contain some Symbol characters, and none of the Zapf Dingbat characters.
  • Pdf+ doesn''t handle the dynamic content of a PDF file, and it cannot render Type 3 fonts.
