A COMPLETE LIBRARY FREELY AVAILABLE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD

FastPdfKit is a framework that let you design, deliver and experience high level interactive multimedia publications, or a hundred year old manuscript digitalized yesterday, on every iPad and iPhone application, with simple pdf documents, preserving every feature of the format: text search, non lossy zoom and compact size.

 

Hi there,
my name is Matteo and I’m an environmental engineer with a passion for hi-tech. Every morning, while having breakfast, I do what most of us do: I read the newspaper. Two years ago, I left the paper behind and moved to the electronic version of the daily on my laptop. When Apple announced the iPad, I saw the breakfast of my future: reading the news on such a device would be just fun. Well, five days and a single tap later, I was reading the newspaper on my very own app. It blew me away how fast my reader was. Shortly thereafter, MobFarm, the company I co-founded, published FastPdf+: one of the first pdf readers available for iOS.Since then, MobFarm has been busy improving and expanding the features of the application. In January 2011 we chose to share with other developers what we had done. FastPdfKitwas born.After ten months, more than 1000 developers from over 20 countries are working with FastPdfKit. More than 200 apps available on the App Store are powered by it.

Today we are proud to announce FastPdfKit 3.0.

No longer a simple pdf reader, FastPdfKit has become an innovative tool to design, deliver and experience multimedia documents on iPad and iPhone.

By leveraging simple pdf annotations, you will be able to easily blend a dynamic multimedia overlay with the document static content. Isn’t it exciting?

Don’t take our word for it. Get the interactive brochure available on the App Store now. Take 5 minutes to play with it. We are sure that you won’t believe it is just a pdf document!

FastPdfKit is suitable for any kind of document, be it a multimedia magazine designed with the latest editing tools or an hundred year old manuscript digitalized yesterday, a collection of reserved industrial blueprints or even an interactive catalogue with an embedded e-procurement system.

As you probably know, there are many other tools that achieve similar results, but they require the conversion of the documents to plain images so you can’t even zoom and search for text, they don’t run on iPhone and every single publication becomes humongous in a world where bandwidth and storage do not come cheap.

No other competitors on the market allows you to do that, this easily.

FastPdfKit, fully featured, is available for free. Integration in your project requires no more than 3 minutes. Get it from github now!
