pdfCorrect now also embeds fonts
Berlin, April 20th 2007. One of the most important features of the
new pdfCorrect is the possibility of embedding fonts in existing PDF
files later on. This means that problems caused by missing or
incorrect font characters no longer occur. In addition, the user can
use the new pdfCorrect to redefine and save the visibility of layers
in PDF files. This makes it possible to integrate more than one
different language version in a single PDF but to only release the
language relevant for the recipients. In this way, pdfCorrect allows
users to flatten invisible and unnecessary layers to reduce the file
size.
Being tried and tested and easy to use, pdfCorrect allows you to
correct troublesome PDF files in no time at all. In this way, the
plug-in for Acrobat 6, 7, and 8 guarantees almost 100% security even
at the data creation stage, enabling the generation of PDF files that
are optimized for printing. pdfCorrect is able to find up to 60
different typical errors that might cause problems...

iPresent It 1.5 adds Apple TV Support

iPresent It version 1.5 ($17.95 USD -- a free update for current
users), available for immediate download at

the Apple TV by automatically detecting your presentation's
resolution and ensuring that it is formatted correctly for display in
standard or widescreen format. It also improves the resolution of
standard presentations.
How do I give a presentation with my Apple TV? The Apple TV allows
you to sync photos from your computer via iTunes -- it's very similar
to working with an iPod.
The main limitation is that you can only connect to a display using
component video or HDMI. This is restrictive in that most projectors
don't support either of these connection options. You can, however,
get an HDMI-to-DVI cable -- this lets you connect to any monitor or
projector with a DVI input.
But is it worthwhile?

Leopard delayed until Oct
Apple today released the following statement:
iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and
is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can't wait until
customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a
revolutionary and magical product it is.
However, iPhone contains the most
sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on
time has not come without a price -- we had to borrow some key software
engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS(R) X team, and as a result we
will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference
in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by
then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers
expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of
Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can
do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October.
We think it will be well...
