One big problem of the connected, mobile world is receiving and then viewing large, large documents. I regularly produce files as large as 48 x 36 inches, sending and receiving them for proofing and approval. For many, this problem has been solved.
We told you about the Corporate Smalltalk Consulting “Fax Reader” … now they’ve announced an update to LargeViewer for iOS, an innovative document viewer that accommodates large page formats used by engineers or architects worldwide. Ideal for examining 48-inch wide blueprints, detailed site layouts, CAD drawings, or hundred megapixel images using an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, the app provides fast scrolling vertically and horizontally with no drawing delay. LargeViewer reads over 50 different file formats, and features Dropbox file download connectivity and management.
LargeViewer is designed specifically to overcome the two most common problems when using a general purpose PDF document viewer to display very large documents on an iOS device: crashes and slow-downs. Due to its limited processing power, graphics hardware, and internal memory, viewing a ISO AO, USA Arch E, Large E or the standard D1 format document using an iPad can be a frustrating experience. Scrolling slows to a crawl, zooming takes 15 seconds or longer. LargeViewer is written to avoid all these issues, and handles the common PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF file formats natively.
LargeViewer reads all the following file formats: AVS, BMP, CUR, DIB, FITS, GIF, ICON, JNG, JP2, JPEC, JPEG, JPG, MAT, MIFF, MTV, MVG, PBM, PCX, PDF, PGM, PICT, PIX, PNG, PNG8, PNG24, PNG32, PNM, PPM, RLE, SGI, TGA, TIFF, TIF, TIM, VIFF, WBMP, WPG, SBM, and XPM.
Feature Highlights:
- Innovative document viewer accommodates very wide and very large documents
- Reads over 50 different file formats
- Displays and paginates large PDF files
- Displays and paginates large TIFF/FAX files
- Converts TIFF files to PDF
- Supports iOS printers.
