Document management specialist Web Manuals has introduced a new PDF Reader to make it easier for aircraft operators to navigate complex documentation. The tool will be introduced on Thursday at the NBAA-BACE show.
According to the Sweden-based company, administrators can now seamlessly upload and connect regulations to PDF documents they keep on file, making it easier for them to keep their companies’ compliance up to date. The new function includes the option to track changes and preview how revised documents will appear on devices used to access Web Manuals’ cloud-based documentation platform.
Anyone accessing the documents can navigate between updated sections and make their personal annotations for future reference, using highlighting and bookmarks to show revisions. They can also use fillable forms, electronic signatures, and direct change requests to support a more efficient workflow between those editing documents and those using them in operations.
Web Manuals said the enhanced search capabilities, which are part of the latest 24.10 version of its platform being rolled out during the fourth quarter of this year, help users quickly identify relevant safety information. The tool includes zoom technology to support high-resolution image quality.
“Ensuring straightforward navigation and accessibility has been key to launching our new PDF Reader,” said Web Manuals chief technology officer Richard Sandstrom. “Our aim has always been to support aviation businesses with advanced digital capabilities. Elevating our PDF function will allow users to access a broader range of documentation, streamline their workflow, and experience new levels of efficiency.”
