Hello, my name is Israel Garcia and I work as a technology consultant at Global Graphics Software. As a technology consultant I get asked this question many times “how do we go paperless in my company?” The answer is, you cannot go 100% paperless “yet”, as you are still required to produce some documents in [...]
How do you make a Quality Product? Quality is the “Degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfil requirements” BS:EN:ISO 9001:2008. If you are producing a bespoke item (be it a software solution or a piece of furniture) that’s relatively easy to achieve. Ask the customer what they want, then build it to the [...]
Here at Global Graphics, within the gDoc team, we want you to enjoy, share and explore our products to the fullest. Not only you, but we want your friends and colleagues to share the experience as well!

Before I dig into the reasons I want to be clear that Global Graphics is one of the most experienced PDF software companies in the world. We are equally at [...]
In gDoc Binder, we have two distinct ways of viewing your documents. You can view them sequentially in their binder (this is the view you see when you start up binder) or you can use our rather helpful Document View.

Personally, [...]
Over 2 years ago I joined the largest volunteer group in the UK when I became a Parent Governor at my children’s school. We meet once a term as the full Governing body consisting of 17 Governors (Parent, Community and Teaching staff) and once a term as each subcommittee made up of 6 or 7 [...]
gDoc Binder gives the user the ability to annotate any document within their binder. This feature was pretty fun to implement, from my perspective. The main challenge here was to figure out how to keep annotations really easy to manage and use. The process needed to feel as natural as possible given the digital media. [...]
The shape and size of personal computing devices has changed drastically over the last few years. Smart-phones and tablets are now widely used by consumers and they bring new methods of interaction including multi-touch and pen. Over the next couple of years we will see TV based applications with gesture control in living rooms and [...]
As one of the developers involved in the creation of gDoc Binder, one of the core issues I’ve had to deal with are what operating systems and platforms gDoc Binder will actually work on.
