PDF Go to Page?

Posted Sat, 07/26/2008 - 18:08 by TechnoBill

Hi Guys,
Great App... If apple seriously want the iphone to make it in business that have to have more usefull apps like this one. Well done.
I dont't know if the PDF viewer you use is your own or a built in one, but I am wondering if it is possible to add a go to page option in the PDF viewer?
Now that I can send big PDF files to the phone, I have stored some reference manuals on there of many hundreds of pages but the IPhones pdf viewer is not much use as I can't jump to a specific page.
It would be great if I could click on a button (or the page indicater that shows page 1 of n ) and simply enter a page number to go to.

Also a book mark feature would be good where I can set the bookmark and later when I open the PDF, it goes straight to the last bookmarked page.

Regards
Bill D

We're looking into this too

First off, thanks for the compliments.  We're glad you're finding the app useful.


A few other users have indeed suggested a quick Jump To Page feature in the PDF viewer.  We're using the built in system viewer but are researching if there's still a way to add a feature like this.


One user also sent in a tip to make the viewer open and scroll through PDF files faster...


If you're on Windows and have access to the full Acrobat software, it can optimize your PDF files to make them take up less memory.  I've even seen some freeware programs such as PDF Compress and PDF Compressor that may help.


OS X has this ability out of the box too if you're on a Mac.
