PDF Scanner for BlackBerry - Convert photos to PDF files on your BlackBerry
What good is that if you can't view PDFs on your BB without e-mailing them to yourself?
It will be useful for some people. It wont break the bank to get Repligo Reader or other such reader for PDFs.
Yeah I would imagine that a person who buys an app like this to frequently create pdf files wouldn't consider it out of the realm of possibility to make a small purchase on a .pdf reader...
WOW, Way to go Adam! From tip to the front page in only an hour and a half, very impressive.
Very cool about this app. I use BeamReader to view PDFs, so this is a great addition to it.
Wow That's a cool app
I used to own a BB Tour
And i was a constant Contributor to the wallpaper sections
I've moved on to an EVO Now
And I've had the same type of app since Oct
But the only difference it was free
Kinda sad to see Bellshare charge $9.99 for a weather app
When HTC Sense weather app is better and free (not to mention countless others in the market)
I know developers have to make money
But isn't it some way to do that, while offering more apps for free? (ads)
Who would've thought 5 yrs ago that consumers would pay $200 for a phone?
But i guess its never enough
I've moved on to an EVO Now
Apparently not.
Hey Cornbread16, way to hijack a thread/comments.......
Why does his app need access to my personal information?????? If coverts a picture to a pdf that's it. if you don't grant it access to your personal information it won't run. RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's probably to access your contacts to email files...
I don't really understand that advantages of a PDF over the normal format of a photo (JPEG?)
I tried this out this afternoon and it was still 300kb for the one file.
Can anyone offer me some insight?
For one thing, you can add multiple pages to a PDF file. I used to take pictures of some documents, then send them to my PC so I could save them as PDFs to mail them... I will save time with this app. I'm toying around with it, must likely will pay for it if it includes free updates.
I really would like test this app, but how can i install the trial version?
I've tryed to download sending links to my mail but cant download it before i purchase it...
any help?

EDIT - GOT IT, thanks anyway
Hi, jwmax!
You don't have to worry about Melon Mobile acquiring access to your personal information.
In order for PDF Scanner to function, it needs two permissions: Recording and Cross Application Communication permission, both of which are part of the Personal Information permissions group (for devices running BlackBerry OS 6.0 or higher). The application does not access any other items from the Personal Information permissions group.
Why PDF Scanner needs these two permissions: The Recording permission gives PDF Scanner access to the camera and the pictures taken. The Cross Application Communication permission is needed to access the file storage where the app stores the scanned images and PDF documents you create. PDF Scanner does not record or export any of your personal information.
If you still have any concerns, we would gladly respond at support@melonmobile.com
Thank you for your comment, jfs101. Indeed, we see the biggest benefit of PDF Scanner in the fact that it spares you from dealing with multiple jpg files which go together, such as pages in a document or a book. One PDF file can put them all in one place and make them much easier to share or store.
