Looks great! Waiting for my PlayBook to reboot then I'm going to buy this and try it out - thanks a lot!

Hi
I just wanted to add that I've emailed the developer a few times this morning with suggestions and he's been very quick to respond and has sounded very willing to expand the feature set.
For me, the two biggest features this needs for me to be able to use it for my business are:
1) The ability to crop the PDF so it shows up like it was actually scanned by a pc scanner and you don't see any of the table or whatever you laid the paper on to take the pic. I think this is table stakes for this type of app to be used in a business setting
2) The ability to 'sharpen' the image with a filter like in Adobe. For text on paper it would be nice to have a 'black & white' filter which showed the image as a sharp pdf (and it would hopefully also reduce the file size).

Nice to haves would be:
1) Ability to click a link and have a message opened with this as the attachment.
2) Ability to rotate the pdf's

Looking forward to future updates!

Not sure if this is possible (seeing as I havent found a print app from the Playbook yet), but being able to print these PDFs to a printer would be excellent.

Actually, RIM doesn't allow us to invoke email with attachment yet. I hate this truth.
Thanks for your comments

Ahh! Painful. I assumed they allowed it because qPDF (android port) can do it. Although the attachment part does not work (the file never gets attached).
RIM - let's fix this!!

I agree, these features are essential for this app to be used in a business setting.

Double DITTO on this one....this would be a very productive and needed app for business if we could print from the PB and actually jot hand written notes....

So, the non ability of RIM to allow this to me defeats the purpose of a business focused tablet. So in order to do this the users have to connect back to a PC and copy the file over and then email it?????

Nope, You must compose new email on Playbook and attach the converted PDF manually. I meant you cannot send email with the attachment programmatically

Files and folders is able to email a doc from within the app... Has to be set up independently from the native mail, but it is usefull for a quick send of a file... Might be worth looking at a similar work around??

That is great news on your app doing so well so quickly.

The ability to see just the bottom portion of the previous photo when taking images. It could be a "ghost" type image with high transparency so you can line up the image properly.
