CHICAGO, IL — (Marketwired) — 06/11/13 — Branchfire, Inc. today unveiled a major upgrade of its popular iAnnotate app, which includes powerful enhancements that make it easier for people to read, mark up and share documents on an iPad. The app displays Microsoft Office files in the same way as they appear on a desktop or laptop, and allows users to easily annotate and share these files as PDFs.
