"We're thrilled to offer joint customers the benefit of iAnnotate, one of the top productivity apps in the world, built on Good's industry-leading secure development platform," said Herve Danzelaud, Vice President of Alliances at Good Technology. "iAnnotate for Good is a great example of a powerful, flexible tool that doesn't compromise on functionality, while offering the enterprise-grade security that today's enterprises have come to expect from Good."

iAnnotate for Good supports organizations looking to empower employees to leverage the mobile devices of their choice without sacrificing security. Key features available in the latest edition of iAnnotate PDF for Good include:

• Secure Markup and Sharing – secure sharing is made possible through iAnnotate's built-in "Send to GFE" command, which allows users to send documents to co-workers via the Good for Enterprise® messaging client. In addition, FIPS-certified crypto libraries secure sensitive data while people work on documents within iAnnotate. Connectivity to sources like third-party cloud storage, WebDAV and standard e-mail are disabled for added security.
• Improved Navigation Panel – provides quick access to common actions like reviewing annotations or document bookmarks. This allows users to double-check documents efficiently without interrupting their workflow.
• One-step Search – allows users to search for and view all instances of a keyword across professional documents. Results are listed in the side navigation panel, enabling users to view each mention within the document without having to re-run the search.
• Two Finger Scrolling – enables users to quickly shift between marking up and moving around a document. One finger activates the selected tool, such as a highlighter, stamp or freehand pencil; two fingers navigate the document without making a mark.
