2. the PDF Reflow feature was available in the previous version, and the final release of it is included in
the newest version along with other improvements.
While this version of GoodReader continues to improve the ability for iPhone and iPod Touch users to
open and view very large PDF and TXT files, the most notable feature that sets it apart even further
from competing apps is PDF Reflow. With this release, GoodReader has become the first app of its
kind to implement this long sought-after feature.
Anybody who has ever attempted to view a large PDF file on the small screen of an iPhone device
knows how difficult it is to navigate because text can't be rearranged and the user must scroll left and
right to read a paragraph that is wider than the screen. With GoodReader's PDF Reflow, text is
extracted from a PDF page (stripping out pictures) and displayed as a simple TXT file. GoodReader
eliminates annoying page margins and offers word-wrapping and formatting features such as font size
and text color.
Unlike other types of apps that offer PDF Reflow, GoodReader delivers reflowing without any steps
required to pre-convert PDFs on the PC prior to syncing to GoodReader. Finally, users can easily
switch back and forth between the original page with pictures and the reflowed text.
GoodReader is known as the top document reader for viewing and navigating large PDF documents on
an iPhone. Besides its text search capability, another key GoodReader feature is active hyperlinks,
which enable users to more easily navigate within the document or launch a linked document or
website. This feature makes GoodReader an even better choice for those who browse large technical
documents.
GoodReader also simplifies reading large TXT documents with its Auto-scroll feature, which offers
variable speed controls to make reading the document an easy hands-off operation. File sharing and
management has been improved in this newest release with the ability to Zip / Unzip files. It also now
provides access to MobileMe iDisk, box.net, MyDisk.se, and many other file-storage servers for both
downloading and uploading files.
GoodReader has experienced a tremendous amount of success since the launch of its previous version.
It was recently ranked #1 among all "Paid Apps" in Japan, and was ranked #1 or #2 in the "Productivity
Paid Apps" category in the USA, UK, Japan, Germany, Canada and France.
Powered by its own viewing engine, GoodReader is ideal for viewing very large PDFs (fast opening,
password protected files, revolutionary 50x zoom), very large TXT files (fast opening, no zooming or
left/right scrolling required, user-selectable font and font-size, all text encodings known to iPhone OS
(including Unicode and Asian languages text encodings), and high-resolution pictures, with an included
slideshow mode
GoodReader is regularly priced at US$4.99 in Apple's App Store (iTunes Store), but is available for a
limited time at only US$.99.www.goodreader.net
