I have to say I'm pretty blown away. I'm more or less the sole software engineer for a group of small local newspapers, and have been on the lookout for a system to replace our current flash-based e-edition reader.

Crocodoc is the first conversion service I've seen that actually properly renders our PDFs.

FYI: Your sample doc keeps crashing Mobile Safari on my v1 iPad, but the official preview (https://preview.crocodoc.com/) seems to work fine.

Hey guys - Peter here from Crocodoc. In the official release, pages on mobile devices will be lazy-loaded to prevent the pages from using too much memory like it does on this demo here.

Interesting. I only checked it on a desktop and it was fine.
