GoodReader 3.0.1 for iPhone　PDFアノテーション対応

昨日のiPad版GoodReaderメジャーアップデートに続き、iPhone/iPod touch向け「GoodReader for iPhone」（115円）も 3.0.1 にアップデートされました。

3になり、iPhone/iPod touch上でもPDFファイルに文字入力や赤入れ・画像挿入を行える「PDFアノテーション」(付箋) 機能を利用できるようになっています。0.0.1だけ増えていますがマイナーバグフィックスがどこかであったのかな(*'-')。

表示中のPDFファイルに文字入力や画像を挿入したい場所をタッチして長押しするとメニューが表示されますので、ノートや画像挿入 (Draw: 直線、矢印、四角、円、フリーハンド) を選んで入力していきます。

• Note
• Draw
  • Line
  • Arrow
  • Square
  • Circle
  • Freehand

テキストエリアでは、highlight (ハイライト/強調) やmarkup (マークアップ/アンダーラインや書体など埋め込み)も行えるようになります。

初回のファイル編集時には、当該PDFファイルを上書きするか、オリジナルPDFファイルはそのままでアノテート(付箋付き)PDFファイルとして別途編集するかの確認あり。

iPhoneアプリ版では、画面の広さの関係からノート箇所などは各アイコンで表示されます。

一応iPhone/iPod touchでも作業が行えるようになったわけですが、実際の作業効率からするとやはりiPadがベストでしょうね。

Major update introducing major new feature - PDF Annotations, including notes, highlights, markups and drawings (iOS 4.0 or later):

• all annotations that you create or edit in GoodReader - notes, highlights, markups, and drawings - are saved in a PDF file, so you will be able to see them later on a computer or in another copy of GoodReader on your colleague's device
• all notes, highlights, markups, and drawings created outside GoodReader, and properly stored in a PDF file, can be viewed or edited in GoodReader
• types of annotations that you can create and edit in GoodReader: comments ("sticky notes") with 7 different icons, text highlights, freehand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles, ovals, text underlines, text deletion marks (strikeouts), text insertion marks, text replacement marks. You can freely adjust color of all of the above.
• other types of annotations that you can view in GoodReader: text boxes with callouts, polygons and polylines, squiggly underlines, cloudy shapes, rubber stamps, file attachments. All annotations that can be viewed, can also be deleted. In addition, some of them can be edited in a limited fashion (color, placement, scale).
• you can now extract files from PDF file attachments

• two main gestures that you should use to work with annotations - single tap, and "tap & hold". Depending on where you tap (on a text, on an existing annotation, or on a free space on a page), different menus will be presented to you.

設定画面では、PDFのウォーターマークを表示/非表示できるオプションが追加。

Other important improvements and new features:

• now you can select text directly on a PDF page. Tap on a text and hold your finger for a while. You can then copy it to the clipboard, or create markups for it (highlights, underlines, strikeouts, etc.)
• certain not very large files were known to consistently crash GoodReader (as well as other PDF reader apps) for no apparent reason. This was the issue with iOS 3.x. We have resolved this issue. It shouldn't be a problem now, even if you're still on iOS 3.x
• now we can hide PDF watermarks (adjustable option in settings)
• certain button images in place of PDF links that were not shown before, are now shown correctly

同じくオプション設定画面で、ファイル幅に合わせるか、画面幅にあわせて表示するかを選べるオプション追加も。

And some other nice things:

• you can now choose which minimum zoom ratio you prefer for PDF pages - "fit to screen" or "fit to width" (an option in settings)
• we have lifted the limitation for a size of files being extracted from PDF Portfolios. Now we're able to extract files of any size. Just make sure that you have enough of free disk space!
• now when you copy a file to the same location as the original, a copy is created. Very handy if you want to annotate a PDF file, but also want to leave the original file unchanged.
• a workaround for the issue when WiFi was conflicting with Bluetooth (slow WiFi connection, occasional WiFi signal drops when Bluetooth switch is on, etc.) was finally found. Now there should be no conflict between WiFi and Bluetooth when working in GoodReader.

ただ、多機能で様々なオプション設定がたくさん追加され、ますます全貌を把握しにくくなってきているのもちょっと問題 (´・ω・｀) 。
