Picsel PDF File Format Support 

Page 

ePAGE supports the most popular global file formats.  The formats 

interpreted by ePAGE are richly expressive, containing not just text but 

sophisticated layout and rendering features, rich fonts, colour, images, 
tables, graphics and many other document features.  Picsel is 

continuously developing its file format support to eventually cover every 
feature of the native file.  With such a wealth of features across many 

document types, this is inevitably an ongoing process, with milestone 
releases of new functionality planned at periodic intervals.  The 

approach involves researching the feature set most commonly found in 
real documents, building support early for the most frequently used 

elements, and ensuring these features are reproduced with total 
faithfulness to the original. The emphasis of ePAGE is on displaying rich 

content rather than on reproducing the document creation facilities of 
the original application. 

 
This document describes the features supported in ePAGE.  This level of 

support already covers the vast majority of characteristics that occur in 
day to day documents of this type, and the specific features are 

described with notes where appropriate.  Those features planned for 
future implementation are also described, for completeness. 

 

PDF 

Adobe Portable Document Format is widely used for transferring 

printable documents to other people. By including text and graphics, 
along with embedded fonts and content security controls, it allows 

people to publish documents to each other with confidence that they 
will look right, but without giving away full control of the material. 

 
PDF is particularly popular for marketing materials on web sites, but 

also for a wide range of other purposes. Its design also includes the later 
addition of annotations, digital signatures, and even more pages of 

content to existing documents.
