About Javelin PDF Reader
Javelin PDF readers provide all the core functionality needed for viewing standard PDF files and PDF files encrypted using our free Drumlin Publisher software (.drmz and .drmx files). These readers support internal and external hyperlinks, contents/navigation trees, a range of page display formats, plus document text searching, annotation, and markup. Encrypted files are protected against content copying and onwards distribution. They may also have restrictions applied such as whether printing is permitted and whether they expire at some point and can no longer be viewed. The properties and/or info facility in the Javelin readers provides details of these Digital Rights Management (DRM) settings. Visually impaired users should select the Mac OSX/Catalina Javelin3 software as this supports text-to-speech conversion. You can use Javelin on a PC or Mac connected to a large corporate network with a restrictive firewall.
