Just one tip for your site: Don't use youtube for the video, it links to more unrelated youtube videos that people might be tempted to watch instead of, you know, testing Pagify :)

You can turn those links off in the video settings (which I recommend they do). We use YouTube to host our intro video and couldn't be happier.

Very cool - thanks for sharing guys. I think you're certainly onto something - there's a lot of traditional paper-based business out there that could use a shift toward dynamic PDF-based workflow. I'd tweak some of your marketing points a bit, in particular: "No one wants to read emails, let alone dull and boring ones.

I often get stung when I 'reply' and add people to a message that originally had attachments. (OS X) It strips the attachment out of courtesy, which I usually catch before I send the email.

Can this generate a very long table and paginate it carefully, without tearing individual rows? Can the table have arbitrary number of columns? How do the columns get sized when there is a lot of data? Thanks.

Right now the layouting is pretty basic. So data will only fit within the width/height you 'draw' on the template. We are working on a dynamic layouting engine which will be able to automatically paginate tables cleanly, but its not rolled out yet.
