In the latest release of our PDF library JPedal, we added a new ‘tools’ menu to the Viewer.
This allows you to make quick edits to PDF files, such copying, rotating, cropping, and many more.
The menu is hidden by default so you will need to update your preferences to see it. You can either do this in the Viewer’s preferences window, or in the properties.xml file.
Once enabled, you can perform the following operations:
Download a JPedal trial jar and try for yourself!
