PDF

Created by Adobe Systems Incorporated, Adobe® PDF (Portable Document Format) has continuously evolved over the 10 years of its development to become an electronic document format that is trusted, highly safe and is accepted officially as a standardized format throughout the world.

In order to make possible the viewing of contents that weren’t conceivable in HTML such as zoom in and out functions, scalable fonts and the ability to display pages wider than the screen size, most of our recent terminals are equipped with a built-in a PDF compatible viewer (Adobe® Reader LE) suitable for mobile phones.
Besides, in order to match the needs of i-mode contents distribution, we have built on the past PDF functions and have added a number of original features, such as i-mode bookmarks etc. that enable us to offer i-mode contents that were not possible in past.

Below is a non exhaustive list of the PDF functions on compatible i-mode phones.

• Largest displayable file size: 2MB
• Scroll function
• Zoom in/out, rotate function
• Search function
• Screen capture function
• web to, mail to, phone to
• Bookmark function

• i-mode bookmark function (traditional bookmark functions also usable)
  This is a feature that combines two functions : the "bookmark information" function , that stores screen positions and zoom rates chosen by the user ; and the "mark information" function that allows the user to have marks displayed on selected points.
• Identifier for non-redistributable PDF
  A function to control the redistribution to other mobile phones.
