14 DAY TRIAL // Adobe today has released a new iOS application called CreatePDF. As its name implies, the software can create PDF documents from scratch, right on the iOS device. It supports images, links, formatting, footnotes, drawings and more.
According to the makers of Flash, Adobe CreatePDF delivers the same high-quality PDF creation as Adobe Acrobat does on desktop PCs. Only this time, you have it on your Apple tablet, or iPhone / iPod touch.

Users can convert email attachments or files stored in the cloud or any application by opening them within the new app, and they can instantly share their works by means of email integration.
