Default Any new videos, pictures?

The posted video is not very impressive.
For example, it does not show how a page can be cropped to remove white margins. I did not see what a double column paper looks like on this reader.
Single column PDF reflow is relatively easy and PRS-505 already does that.

Some people asked for demo of sample files. But why don't you post some of
these samples?

Thanks.

Does the 505 keep all formatting after reflow? I wasn't aware that it does this.

Keeping the format after reflow is useful. I dont know whether 505 can do it or not.

So why don't you post more sample pictures/videos?


In the demo (using foxit reader's manual pdf), when you move left/right, we can
see a large white margin. Why not get rid of it?

There are actually different options. The one we use in the video is the normal view. There has to be a normal view so that you can view the PDF exactly how it looks. There is also a view that will automatically delete the margins on the side, don't worry. I hope that helps clarify it.

We'll post more videos and pictures later.

Good. Looking forward to seeing the new pic/videos.


I think it might be more effective to show your unique features,
not something that others can also do.


BTW, what if the PDF has formulars/tables/graphs/double columns?

Are you wondering if those things can be reflowed? Please send us a sample file so we can check.

This is a paper which has double columns/formulars/graphs.

http://bnrg.cs.berkeley.edu/~adj/pub...es/winet01.pdf


Would you please test the page 3 and page 4 please.

Since this paper is publicly available, I think it is OK to post pictures here.
So that other people can also have a look.

Thanks.
