Description

Javelin for Android provides a secure reader for DRMZ files (encrypted PDFs) of books, articles and similar documents. Users requiring a general purpose PDF reader are recommended to try the free Radaee reader, which uses the same PDF library as Javelin, but is specifically aimed at PDF usage.

The app supports PDF reading functionality and navigation via the Contents button, embedded hyperlinks, bookmarks, markup and annotations. By "secure PDF reader" we mean that Javelin supports DRM-protected PDF files (DRMZ files) as well as standard PDF files. The DRM protection facility is created using the free Drumlin software from Drumlin Security Ltd. For DRM protected usage Android v4.1 or later on tablets or tablet-like phones only is recommended.

For detailed information regarding Javelin for Android please see:

Documents can be downloaded to Javelin for Android in one of three principal ways:

(i) by using the download icon in the toolbar and entering a full URL for a pdf or drmz file (see further, below); or

(ii) by copying PDF files (.pdf) and secured PDF files (.drmz) from a PC or Mac to the Android device and placing these in an accessible directory, e.g. into the Javelin folder, Documents subfolder; and

(iii) the app supports a third file format, which is an xml structure for lists of documents ("catalogs"). This essentially provides a shortcut for the download procedure, as the xml file includes a description of the file and the url of the file to be downloaded, thereby simplifying the download process for the user. These xml lists can themselves be downloaded via an explicit URL download request (as per (i) above) or may be pre-loaded – a sample catalog is pre-loaded. Zipped catalog files are now supported - see documentation for details.

DRMZ files: these files are a form of PDF file that require an authorization code in order to enable them for your device. The sample catalog includes a demo file with code: abcabcabc for you to test this process. Simply tap the field for the code when prompted, type in the code provided, and press the OK button. An active G3 or WiFi connection is required for the authorization process to work, as the details are checked on our servers. For other DRMZ files downloaded to or copied to Javelin for Android, a code will be provided to you by the document publisher. Authorization codes are 9 characters (numbers and lower case letters) and are specific to individual documents. For more details please contact us: info@drumlinsecurity.com

If a publisher wishes to provide digital content that requires authorization via this app they should do so using services provided by Drumlin Security Ltd. Examples might include: an electronic copy of a book in PDF format that has previously been purchased in print or other form via the publisher’s website or a traditional bookstore; notes to accompany a training course; intra-corporate technical manuals; documents provided on a temporary basis, etc). This version of Javelin utilizes licensed PDF rendering software from Radaee Studio.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★Whenever I am trying to open .drmz file the app crashes.
5 ★Perfect for securing and distributing the IP protected PDF documents to masses.
5 ★When are you getting read aloud function
1 ★I'm using this on an iPad so maybe this was created as an after thought and is more suited to Android. So far I'm not impressed with this reader. I'm unable to change the text/font size. Highlighting anything must be in blocks so I can't highlight a sentence or 2 that aren't at the margins. I'm working on the Boson CCNA curriculum through this app and you want to highlight what is relevant and nothing more. I will try to open the files in Adobe PDF or another reader and see what happens. I don't think it will work since I had to enter the license key code to download it. ej
1 ★Maybe a student's exercise? Or maybe dev thought "Play" Store is like "Pretend" Store. (It is a dumb and confusing name for an app market so I could understand such a mistake.) Whatever. This thing shouldn't be on Store: Its functionality is painfully limited and its usage is non-standard for Android.
2 ★It makes u made while reading. .it zoom at its own will n don't let u highlight the things in an easy way
5 ★Happy to use javelin.
5 ★Thanks very nice software
2 ★So slooow
2 ★Annotation with stylus lags a bit resulting in poor quality notes. I am using an s-pen on a Samsung note 10 inch. Other apps such as ezpdf do not seem to have this problem.
5 ★C'est une application trop cool,franchement
5 ★Good for readers..
