Beta Features

Highlight - We've got highlight working perfectly now. All you do is select the first word you want to highlight and drag to the last word.

Margin Notes - Hit the button on the toolbar or the 'W' key on your keyboard, then click on the page for the box to snap to it, and begin writing.

Bookmark - You can't exactly fold the edge of the page of a PDF document, so we've created Bookmarks for our users to tag a page or section with a brief phrase to describe it. Think of Margin Notes as a full sentence or two while Bookmarks are really the two word "anchor". You'll be able to Search across all your documents for both.

Copy Text - It's really easy to do so with Marqed, it works exactly the same as a highlight, but instead of turning the passage yellow, it pastes the text to your computer's clip board, so all you have to do is go over to your word processor or email or whatever and paste it.

Erase - It's ALSO like highlight but instead of turning a blank passage yellow it turns a yellow passage blank! We've changed the functionality to a click and drag instead of a click, this way you can erase specific words within a highlight instead of deleting the whole thing.

Zoom - Zoom was the first thing we got done and it's so so much better, it's amazing. Zoom to your heart's content. I mean really zoom in, and it's as gorgeous, no loss of quality from half the size of the original document to four times the original size.

Save - Hey, this is a super important feature so don't forget it!

Undo - Boom, works on everything, so if you highlight something, undo it, you erase part of a highlight, undo it, you make a bookmark, undo it, margin note, undo it. You get the idea.

Print - Heyo! New awesome feature. Hit print, we'll ask what pages you want, and you can print them out!

Rotate - I'd have never guessed so many people suggested this feature, but there you go, rotate your documents at will!

Thanks to everyone who's been with us so far, it's very exciting. Never thought I'd spend so much time thinking about (digital) reading and note-taking. Cheers. -Denny

Beta Launch

Hello! Denny here. James and I have been working on the beta non-stop and we hope you like the improvements. What improvements?

Beautiful pages, first off. That was harder than it looks, but we knew we wanted to switch technologies to improve the image quality of the documents and allow us to highlight text and read text more easily. In the future we hope to be able to search through all text within uploaded documents, but first things first.

Margin notes! Duh, right? Well you got em. And you can search within your margin notes across all your documents. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Bookmarking! Something our users didn't request but that we thought would be very powerful to add. Bookmark your pages as often as you want with short one to two word phrases to mark where you are in the text and what that passage is about. And you can also search through these as well.

Page rotation. We were surprised by how many people suggested page rotation but you wanted it so we built it.

This link gets you to your Marqed Alpha documents.
