Yep 1.6.6

This application allows a user to manage the PDF's store on his computer. The application is create by the Ironic Software.

  • File system - the application reveals the details on the actual location of an Item in the file system. There are some functions related to this;
  • List modes - it is possible to set the List-pane into three modes: collections, file system and tags. Collections are the classic MicroContent client way of looking at things. File system shows the actual storage location of a file. And tags show a tag cloud for a collection. By clicking on a tag one can zoom in and it functions thus as an automatic smart list;
  • Combining - by drag&dropping a PDF on top of another one, the two PDF's can be combined;
  • Loupe - a loupe allows the user to zoom in on a PDF. This loupe is a moving 'window', which one can move over the PDF;
