[. . . ] Firstly, some visual integrity is inevitably lost in the conversion process from a rich format to a simpler one, resulting in documents that do not look exactly like the original. Secondly, the reliance on a PC for synchronization means that direct network access is difficult, and the device is severely hampered when untethered from the PC. Thirdly, traditional applications take a monolithic approach, converting only a single format so that separate applications are needed for each different document type. Picsel's ePAGE applications present a new concept in document viewing software. Unlike traditional approaches, the viewer can access native files, so synchronisation is not necessary and files can be grabbed straight off PC filing systems, flash cards and networks/internet without the need for pre-conversion. ePAGE deals directly with the original document in its native format, and aims to faithfully represent all of the features of the original. Moreover, the novel software architecture based on Picsel's ePAGE technology enables multiple format types to be richly supported in a single application. ePAGE achieves a breakthrough in its ability to interpret and render complex file formats. Many apparently straightforward formats have in the past encountered difficulties even when used in their original application software on a different platform, for example when going from a PC to a Macintosh.

Best performance will be obtained when the standard fonts are included in the device, thus ensuring exact reproduction of the text as intended by the document author who created the PDF original. The ePAGE PDF agent scans the device for all installed fonts and will make use of the standard fonts exactly as intended when they are available. However the ePAGE PDF agent has been created primarily for mobile devices, and recognises that the standard fonts may not be available due to memory constraints. In this case, ePAGE will automatically find the font on the system that is the closest match to the specified standard font, and all of the text will be fully rendered in this matching font. Document content is never lost, and text is fully readable, but the effect of using a substitute font may cause slight differences in the text metrics. This can result in some text being slightly mispositioned compared to Picsel PDF File Format Support Page 8 the original, or text lines that are longer or shorter than those using the correct standard font. In practice, these discprepancies tend to be minor, but ultimately the choice whether to include the standard fonts must be made by the OEM. Picsel have designed the PDF agent to provide flexibility and a choice of either option. Character Maps ePAGE can work with all characters in the Unicode specification. [. . . ] Picsel have designed the PDF agent to provide flexibility and a choice of either option. Character Maps ePAGE can work with all characters in the Unicode specification. PDF documents are often encoded in other encodings, or reference one of the character collections (Adobe-Japan1-2, Adobe-Korea-1, AdobeCNC1-0, or Adobe-GB1-2) used to describe the major Asian languages. ePAGE handles these by detecting the character encoding used, and converting it to UTF-16 Unicode.
