Details
Pdf+ can display a large number of PDF 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 files. Pdf+ silently ignores some unimplemented features
and non-conforming PDF files, it will complain about other unimplemented features and other non-conforming PDF
files.
Pdf+ is designed especially for PDA's. As PDA's are still less powerful than desktop computers, not all PDF functions
are built into Pdf.
- Pdf+ doesn't handle the dynamic content of a PDF file.
- Pdf+ cannot render Type 0 or Type 3 fonts.
- Pdf+ can only display the Symbol and ZapfDingbats fonts if you have the appropriate font files installed on your PDA.
- Pdf+ assumes that the built-in bit map fonts are encoded as code page 1252.
Printing
Pdf+ can also print PDF documents to a suitable printer. Even
though an entiere document can be printed, we advise caution as printing using a PDA is not as fast as printing using a desktop PC.
These the things to watch for:
- If you have a color printer, Pdf+ will print the page in color, except the bit maps if you use the built-in printer drivers. Third party drivers might allow you to print bit maps in color.
- When you use the 'Print to PC' printer driver, Pdf+ may run out of memory when printing certain bit maps (those with masks more complicated than a rectangle). In this particular case, you are advised to use Adobe Acrobat reader on your PC to print the PDF file.
- Pdf+ cannot print embedded fonts.
- Pdf+ cannot print rotated characters.
