Java PDF Viewer

A Java PDF Viewer which is powerful and fully-featured, but simple to setup, integrate and customise. JPedal offers everything you need from a multi-platform Java PDF viewer, including PDF Search and extraction. It also offers full PDF to Print support. Viewing PDF is not an add-on, nor an afterthought with the JPedal Java PDF library. The PDF Viewer is the central feature, and we have spent over 10 years developing our fully-featured PDF viewer in Java.

Everything you need to develop an application that requires a world class Java PDF viewer is included in one complete package - you do not need to purchase additional modules.

JPedal actually includes multiple Java PDF viewers to cover all scenarios, so whatever your requirements JPedal can fulfill your needs. A selection of our inbuilt example Java PDF viewers is described beneath.

PageTurning

In today's competitive environment you need your application to stand out from the crowd. The latest JPedal GUI enhancements are designed to take the hard work out of looking great.

Included as part of the Java PDF viewer application, you can choose to allow your users to have a natural page turning mode. Operated via left mouse button dragging or by using the page navigation buttons, this effect replicates the old fashioned turning page.

This enhancement leverages the advanced imaging capabilities of Sun's JAI libraries, so make sure you have the latest version on your classpath. The free download can be accessed here.

PageFlow

Another of our Java PDF viewer improvements allows the user to scroll visually through a PDF, making charts, graphics and tables easier to spot. JPedal's PageFlow mode allows for user or programatic configuration on number of pages displayed, height of reflection and side page height.

Now your applications can offer the best display effects allowing competition with any e-book reader. And best of all its included free, as part of our Java PDF viewer.
