Qoppa's PDF Editor for High Sierra with Fast Sign, Cursor Text Editing - Published on 07/18/18

Atlanta based Qoppa Software today announces version 2018 of PDF Studio, their powerful, intuitive PDF Editor for Mac, Windows and Linux. PDF Studio 2018 adds many new exciting features including a redesigned user interface with ribbon, cursor text content editing with reflow, rich text and Unicode support in form fields, new Linux scanning interface, with scanning profiles, new "Fast Sign" feature and the ability to create dynamic forms using page template.

Atlanta, Georgia - Qoppa Software, a leading producer of PDF software, announces version 2018 of PDF Studio, their powerful, intuitive PDF editing application for Mac, Windows and Linux. PDF Studio 2018 adds many new exciting features including:

* Redesigned user interface with ribbon
* Inline text content editing with reflow
* Rich text and Unicode support in form fields
* New Linux scanning interface, with scanning profiles
* New "Fast Sign" feature
* Create page templates for dynamic forms

The PDF Studio 2018 interface has been redesigned with a Ribbon Toolbar to provide easy and efficient access to the many functions the application has to offer. Compared with the old classic menu, ribbons are enhancing the discoverability of new & existing features, providing users with a simple to use, visual interface to browse through all the tools and find the functions they need. The responsive auto-sizing design also creates better support for different display and windows sizes. For users who prefer the previous layout, an option is available under Preferences to revert to the classic menu.

The new Inline Text Content Editing with reflow provides user friendly text editing directly on the page. PDF Studio's advanced text recognition logic can detect contiguous text blocks within a document, and organize them into paragraphs and columns. Users can edit text within a PDF as they would in a word processor, including across paragraphs, without worrying about text reflow; they can modify layout by resizing or moving columns and easily change font, style and alignment on text.

The new Fast Sign Tool allows users to create signature stamps that can be quickly applied to documents. Signature stamps can be created in 3 ways: by using a handwritten font, by drawing a signature with a mouse or tablet pen or by importing a scanned signature image. Signed PDFs are automatically flattened upon save to prevent further editing of the signatures or any interactive form fields present in the documents.

Rich Text and Unicode are now fully supported when filling interactive forms, allowing to format and style all or part of the field contents, but also type in strings from multiple fonts, including non-Latin fonts such as Arabic, Chinese, and Russian. This feature is certain to please Qoppa's growing international customer base.

On Linux, direct Sane access was implemented to connect to scanners, resolving many issues caused by the old Sane Daemon interface, and allowing Linux users to set and save many scanning options. Scanning profiles can be started with a single click from the scanning menu and will keep information about the scanner to use, the color options, the DPI resolution, or even whether OCR should be performed on the scanned document.

Creating and editing Page Templates is a way to make smarter, more dynamic PDFs. The templates are hidden pages stored within the PDF (usually an interactive PDF form), that can be appended or shown based on a JavaScript trigger saved within the document. Typical use cases would be a patient form where a second insurance information needs to be filled, a contract where an addendum needs to be shown, or a tax document where an extra page is needed for entering additional deductions.

Version 2018 is a major release that delivers a new intuitive user interface, many advanced features and greater stability to make your PDFs smarter and do more with your documents. PDF Studio 2018 includes many other improvements, such as incremental dynamic stamps (with counter), ZUGFeRD verification, PAdES signatures. See the full list of new features.

As part of this latest version, new features and enhancements were also added to Qoppa's free PDF reader for macOS, Windows and Linux. The new PDF Studio Viewer 2018 includes annotating functions including typewriter, callout, text box, sticky note, text markups & shape annotations and comes with the ability to fill and save forms. This is certainly one the best cross-platform PDF readers available on the market.

Language Support:
PDF Studio Viewer supports 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Pricing and Availability:
The Free PDF reader edition is offered at no cost for both personal and commercial use. The Standard edition is offered at $89 one-time fee and the Pro edition at $129 (USD).

App Tamer 2.4 can hide idle apps and its own CPU graph

A new article has been published at prMac.

App Tamer 2.4 can hide idle apps and its own CPU graph - Published on 07/18/18

St. Clair Software delivers an update today for App Tamer, its Macintosh utility that manages applications to yield more efficient CPU usage, increased battery life and quieter operation. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. Version 2.4 offers a new option to hide idle applications, offers more customization of its interface, and addresses bugs and issues.

Denver, Colorado - St. Clair Software is happy to announce the availability of a free update to its App Tamer utility for macOS. App Tamer 2.4 features a new option to quit idle applications, allows its CPU usage graph to be hidden, and offers several bug fixes and other improvements.

The changes in version 2.4 include:
* The CPU usage graph in App Tamer's window can now be turned off
* App Tamer can be set to hide an application after a certain amount of idle time
* Scroll wheel use is recognized as activity in an application even if the app is in the background
* A bug has been fixed that caused incorrect process throttling if the "Do not slow or stop apps if power is plugged in" option was turned on
* User interface issues have been corrected

More about App Tamer:
Some Mac applications, especially web browsers, continue running tasks or animations even when they're supposed to be idle in the background. This can consume valuable processing power, reducing battery life and producing heat that increases fan noise. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses these applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This frees your CPU and reduces power consumption.

App Tamer comes pre-configured to automatically manage Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Spotlight, Time Machine, Word and many other apps when they're in the background. And customizing it for other applications is just a mouse click away.

Pricing and Availability:
App Tamer will operate on any Macintosh running macOS 10.8 or higher, and is free to try for 15 days. A license to continue using it after the trial period is $14.95 (USD). This update is free for users who purchased App Tamer 2.x or bought App Tamer 1.x after July 1, 2013. For those that purchased a license before that date, the upgrade is $7.95 (USD).

Kids make awesome burgers with the top children's app Bamba Burger 2

A new article has been published at prMac.

Kids make awesome burgers with the top children's app Bamba Burger 2 - Published on 07/18/18

The long awaited follow-up to the super popular Bamba Burger is here. This sequel to the best children's burger making app has gotten bigger and better! Like the first app, Bamba Burger 2 is an interactive toy for children to imagine they are running a burger restaurant. In Bamba Burger 2, kids can slice burger buns, cook all sorts of fun ingredients, stack the tallest, craziest burgers, make crispy french fries, pour soda, build a 5-tier ice-cream soft serve and finally, eat it all.

Singapore - Mezmedia is proud to announce the long-awaited sequel to their most popular app - Bamba Burger 2. With over 4 million downloads for Bamba Burger, the success of this burger restaurant game for kids has led to calls for a sequel. The Singapore-based game studio has obliged with the release of Bamba Burger 2 on the App Store and on Google Play.

In Bamba Burger 2, kids pretend to play cook and customer in a burger restaurant. There are a lot of cooking activities for the kids to do. First, the player chooses the type of bun, which range from the standard fare (burger bun) to the weird (brick burger anyone?). Next up, the player cooks the ingredients on a frying pan, tossing them about. Then comes the fun part where they start building the burger with over 20 wacky ingredients to choose from, such as Radioactive Goo, or a Pirate Hat! And that is not all, the player can make side dishes like mashed potatoes, crinkle cut fries, soda and ice-cream.

The player 'pays' for the meal by dropping coins into a cash register. Then comes the best part - eating what they've made! With every meal completed, there's a mystery gift with a surprise toy inside. The screenshot button allows players to save pictures of the fantastic burger they've made.

Learning through play is what Bamba Burger 2 is about. Here, kids learn about different ingredients, objects, how things are made and how to count. There are plenty of educational opportunities with Bamba Burger 2.

The development studio encourages parents to play with their children to promote family bonding and improve learning. Parents can play the customer and order a cheeseburger, for example, while the child plays the restaurant chef and tries to assemble it in Bamba Burger 2. Real world props like a chef's hat and apron are recommended to make the experience more enriching and fun.

Bamba Burger 2 is language free. There is no text within the game so players are not restricted to learning a particular language. It is up to the parent to teach in his or her language of choice. It is an excellent tool for learning new words.

Bamba apps are all about being wacky and gross. So kids can find special ingredients like the Dirty Shoe, the Slimy Tentacle or the Mouldy Bun, along with 'standard' fare like a Burger Patty, Cheese and Ketchup.

"Which kid doesn't love fast food? Fries and burgers are a favorite with my 3-year old, but they can't always have it, so that's where the idea for Bamba Burger came about. With this sequel, we've taken feedback from our users and made it much better, with longer engagement periods, more activity points and more learning opportunities", said John Ng, co-founder of Mezmedia, the studio behind the Bamba series of education apps for kids.

Supported Languages
* Bamba Burger 2 is designed to be language free

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPad
* Android devices
* Requires iOS 10.0 or later, Android 6.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
Bamba Burger 2 is Free (With In-App Purchases) and available worldwide through the App Store and Google Play in the Education category. For more information, please contact John Ng.
