Sidney, BC, Canada – Corporate Smalltalk Consulting, Ltd. has announced Fax Reader 1.8.0 for iOS, a feature update to their document viewer/handler app that allows the user to either view the TIF files generated by standard office fax machines, or convert them to PDF documents for other apps to use.

As faxes are increasingly emailed to save on paper costs, Fax Reader works by supplementing the existing document display logic found in iOS, which will only display the first page of a fax but not allow access to subsequent pages. The app includes newly enhanced variable page height support, and functions as a document handler by providing “Open in…”, clipboard, and Photo library support functionality.

Fax Reader enables viewing of multi-page faxes by first importing the entire file into its storage area. Once imported, the file undergoes one-time pre-rendering that ensures the fax is optionally re-scaled to be optically correct and to provide the fastest possible rendering when viewing as a multi-page document. The user can copy documents into Fax Reader by using iTunes to copy files into, delete, or copy them out of the app. Users can also ask Fax Reader to open documents from other apps, like Apple’s Mail.

Feature Highlights:
* Conversion of Fax/Tiff files to PDF
* Printing to IOS supported printers
* Accelerated multi-page TIFF/TIF fax file reading
* Uses proprietary LargeViewer technology to import, store, and pre-render documents
* Pre-rendering allows smooth scrolling and display
* Emailing of individual pages.
* Optional rescaling for fixing Fax aspect ratios
* Enhanced cached Dropbox file download compatibility
* Responsive scrolling and zooming through dozens of Fax pages

“Fax machines are a legacy technology, straddling the 20th and 21st centuries,” stated company President John McIntosh. “Until they become extinct, Fax Reader offers an easy, integrated solution for easily viewing multi-page, and highly-detailed faxes on any iOS device.”

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 4.0 or later
* 9.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Fax Reader 1.8.0 is $5.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Review copies are available upon request.
