Solena PDFViewer for iphone

Based on original pdfviewer by James Milne and NerveGas ,improved with a couple of features...

Improvements :

  • Now supports navigation by page number
  • Supports landscape. (IMPROVED in 0.3)
  • Integration with mobile finder (Double tap on PDF files would open them with Solena)
  • Remembers most recently used PDF settings (open last pdf file from last page number,offset and zoom)
  • Remembers all previously opened PDF settings.(NEW in 0.3)
  • Supports opening of large files
  • Some little improvements ;)

Known issues :

  • Not as smooth and shiny as Safari PDF Engine (zoom and pan features aren't smooth).
  • Removed 3 page algorithm by Milne (so zoom and pan looks even worse but works flawlessly).

    To Do:

  • ~~Remember last time settings for all opened files (not just the most recently used one).~~ (NEW in 0.3)

  • ~~A mechanism for opening finder inside Solena when user wants to open another PDF.~~ (NEW in 0.3)
  • Support bookmarking.
  • Some UI enhancement.
  • Making installer friendly package.
