Android qPDF Notes v3.1 delivers new file browser with cloud access and improved form filling

ATLANTA – June 2013 – Qoppa Software, Atlanta-based producer of PDF solutions for end-users, developers and integrators on all platforms, is happy to announce release 3.1 of its Android PDF apps, qPDF Notes – Android PDF Reader Pro and qPDF Viewer – Android PDF Reader. This release includes a redesigned file browser tightly integrated with Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive as well as an improved form filling mode.

New File Browser with Box, DropBox, Drive Access

qPDF’s redesigned file browser is a powerful tool to find and organize PDF documents on the go. Files can be opened directly from Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, edited on the device and then saved back to the cloud, in a single tap. It is now as easy to work with cloud files as it is with local files and users have the freedom to choose their preferred cloud storage. The redesign also adds the ability to delete, rename, or mark files as favorites, and new views were created to list recently opened documents, user favorites, and all PDF documents on the device. The recent files list can now be cleared.

Form Fill View Mode: Intuitive, Per Page

Form Fill View: intuitive, per page

The Fill Form view has been totally redesigned to make filling PDF forms on the go as user-friendly as possible. Form fields are now organized by page, making it easy to jump to any page and fill in form data. More JavaScript support has been added, as well as the ability to reset fields to their default values.

Advanced Search Now Open on Phones in Navigation Pane

The bookmarks pane, allowing navigation within PDF documents using bookmarks, outlines, comments, and search results, was made expandable so the lists can be viewed in full screen. This intuitive tablet interface was also copied over to phones so that all users would now have the benefit of the search pane as well as easier access to bookmarks, outline, and comments tabs.

As usual, the newly implemented features have a consistent, streamlined look that closely follows the Holo design principles. qPDF Notes and qPDF Viewer are tablet-optimized so they look great on all size devices, from small phones to large tablets.

Finally, all labels have been internationalized in German, so the app is now available in 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Qoppa’s Android products are available for all Android phones and tablets 2.1 or higher including: Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, and S4, Asus Transformer Prime, Acer Iconia, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 10.1, Motorola XOOM, Kindle Fire, Nook Color, Blackberry Playbook and Blackberry 10 devices (Z10, Q10, Q5).

New v3.0 Android qPDF apps deliver text reflow, javascript and whole new look!

ATLANTA – November 1st, 2012 – Qoppa Software, a leading producer of PDF solutions, is proud to announce release 3.0 of its Android PDF apps, qPDF Notes – PDF Reader and Annotating App and qPDF Viewer – Free PDF Reader. This release includes major new features including a text reflow mode, support for Javascript in interactive forms, and a whole new look.

Use text reflow for a great reading experience

Text Reflow Mode: The text reflow feature allows for more effective reading of ebooks, magazines, and articles while on the go. Text reflow shows a text-only view of a PDF document and automatically reflows the content to fit the screen width as users zoom in and out. Font size can be increased or decreased according to reading preferences. This view provides an exceptional reading experience on smaller Android phones and tablets by eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling.

Javascript Support: The added support for Javascript in version 3.0 greatly improves user experience when filling interactive PDF forms by implementing:

form field calculations to automatically compute the value of given fields from other fields.
form field validation to prevent users from entering invalid data and ensuring that all required data is filled in.
form field formatting to facilitate the capture of special format fields such as dates, social security, phone numbers, etc…

A New Look: The user interface was reinvented to accommodate the many functions offered in the app and give users quick and easy access to core features. The Action bar was changed to add the following menus:

“File” menu to open, save, or send/share files.
“View” menu to change to text reflow mode, go to the outline / bookmarks / comments pane, go to page, zoom, and lock the navigation overlay.
“Document” menu to add new pages, flatten annotations and fields, or go to the fast form fill view.

In addition, all colors and icons were redesigned for a streamlined, sleek new look consistent with the overall Android Holo style.

Add Image

Add Images: Version 3.0 adds the ability to easily add images / pictures as annotations onto PDF documents or add them to interactive PDF form image fields. Images can come from the device, cloud services or directly from the camera, simplifying the daily routine of professionals such as home inspectors or insurance agents when creating inspection reports.

To celebrate qPDF Notes’ new release, the app is offered at 50% discount through December. Users who are currently evaluating qPDF Notes Demo are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade to qPDF Notes Full Version.

Qoppa Software makes the PDF technology found in its apps available in an Android PDF SDK for Android developers to integrate into their own apps.

Atlanta – June 25 2012 – Qoppa Software, a leading provider of PDF solutions, announced it has integrated its Android PDF editing app, qPDF Notes, with Box OneCloud to power mobile document collaboration and productivity. qPDF Notes’ integration with Box helps millions of individuals and companies easily work from their Android tablets and smartphones on forms, drawings, contracts, and other PDF files managed on Box OneCloud.

Qoppa users can now simply open PDF documents from Box OneCloud directly into qPDF Notes and use the application’s powerful editing capabilities to:

fill interactive PDF forms
review and markup PDF documents
digitally sign PDF documents

Once editing is finished, documents can be saved straight back to Box with a single tap. The integration is transparent to users and makes editing PDF files stored in the cloud as simple as editing local files.

“This collaboration between Qoppa and Box is a big step to improve document handling on the go. PDF is the de facto electronic collaboration format on mobile devices where editing has to be easy, graphical, and intuitive. The great thing with the PDF format is that annotations are saved as part of the document itself and thus can be viewed by any recipient on any capable PDF viewer.” says Gerald Holmann, president of Qoppa Software.
