Update supporting UTF-8, scanned documents, and multi-size PDFs

The A.nnotate.com site has now been updated. New features for PDF annotation include:

  • International character sets now supported (UTF-8) for multi-language documents and notes
  • Annotate scanned, image based PDFs as well as text based PDFs.
  • Support for PDF documents which contain pages of multiple sizes and orientations
  • Faster import from Microsoft Word and OpenOffice formats
  • The web snapshot tool from your documents page now lets you annotate any PDF or Word document on the web by pasting a URL link (this also works for links to web pages)

There is now also a simple way to export your notes on a page as plain text; the Tools > Plain notes menu option in the top right of your documents page shows your notes in a new window, where you can copy / paste into other applications.
