How to use "EditOnPDF (Ver2.x)"

EditOnPDF was developed for editors to proofread manga manuscripts, etc.

The biggest problem for editors is that there are no applications that can display series tables . In other words, in order to determine the font size by applying the series table to a "printed document" or "iPad screen", it is necessary to take the trouble of "printing the manuscript data" or "enlarging it to the actual size" .
