New version of Pdf+ with printing support coming soon

Published by at

A new version of mBrainSoftware's Pdf+ is on the way. The highlight of the new version is printing support and the ability to create PDF files (via a printer driver) on the phone itself. The new version will be available in three different editions: basic standard, and professional with differing functionality and price points reflecting different use cases for different sets of users.

You can read our review of the current version of Pdf+ here and a comparison review with Adobe Reader LE here. Pdf+ is available for both UIQ and S60 devices.

Press release extract: 

Pdf+ Basic offers basic functionality. Users can view all pages, go to any page, search for strings, set the zoom level, full screen and landscape mode and reflow the text. Chinese and Japanese PDF files are fully supported. Email attachments and PDF files downloaded from the Web can be read as well.

Pdf+ Standard offers in addition bookmark support, following of links, opening of websites, sending Emails and dialling phone numbers. Full support for password-protected PDF files is available in this version too.

Pdf+ Professional offers in addition full printing support. The creation of PDF files is possible through the inclusion of PdfPrinter, a printer driver that is capable of creating PDF files from most programs that can print.

All editions of Pdf+ support shortcuts for quick access to often-used commands.

"As the range of Symbian smartphones grows, the needs of their users are diverging more and more. It is now possible to choose the PDF reader that fits your needs, and that matches the capabilities of your device more closely.", says Sander van der Wal, owner of mBrain Software.

Pdf+ Basic, Standard and Professional for S60 3rd edition will be available later this year, as will be Pdf+ Basic and Pdf+ Standard for UIQ 3.x. Pdf+ Professional for UIQ 3.x will be made available as soon as printing support for UIQ 3.x becomes available. Current S60 3rd edition and UIQ 3.x Pdf+ users will be able to upgrade for free to Pdf+ Professional.
