Obunsha Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo / President: Hideki Kumekawa), an educational publisher, is newly launching a 'PDF Viewer' that allows free browsing of its university entrance exam magazine series 'Keisetsu Jidai', which has a history of over 90 years. This service is a special benefit for high schools that have adopted the magazine on a school-wide basis. Furthermore, starting from the 2026 academic year, e-book versions of both the monthly 'Keisetsu Jidai' and the 'Keisetsu Jidai Special Editions' will go on sale.
### ■ [For Adopting Schools Only] Free Provision of a 'PDF Viewer' to Support High School Teachers' Career Guidance
In this ICT initiative, we focused particularly on expanding career guidance support for high school teachers. Responding to strong requests from over 80% of teachers at schools adopting the 'Keisetsu Jidai' series, who expressed a desire to 'utilize it more conveniently in a digital environment,' we are offering a dedicated PDF viewer as a free benefit on the high school portal site 'Obunsha Passnavi for School.' This allows teachers at adopting schools to view the magazine directly on their browsers.
**Three Benefits Brought to High Schools by this PDF Viewer**
**1. Deploying the detailed and vast information of 'Keisetsu Jidai' to the staff room and teachers' PCs**
Previously, it was common to place 'Keisetsu Jidai' on the bookshelves of career guidance counseling rooms or classrooms. With the free provision of this PDF viewer, teachers can now access the latest magazine content anytime from their PCs in the staff room. Because it's a browser-based viewing format requiring no installation, 'Keisetsu Jidai' can be deployed to teachers' PCs without incurring new costs.
**2. Pinpoint access to necessary information with the text search function**
To reduce the effort teachers spend searching for required information in thick information magazines, the PDF viewer offers a 'text search function.' When facing challenges in career counseling or needing specific university information, teachers can use relevant keywords to search the contents of 'Keisetsu Jidai' precisely. This enables smoother and more accurate career guidance tailored to each individual student.
**3. Provision of PDF data useful for creating, distributing, and delivering career guidance materials**
Furthermore, selected article contents suitable for career guidance from each issue of the 'Keisetsu Jidai' series will be provided in a downloadable PDF format. Teachers can use them as they are, without extra effort, for reprinting in career guidance materials or for distributing and delivering to students and parents.
* To use this service, the school must purchase the physical product.
* When using the service, please register an account on the high school portal site 'Obunsha Passnavi for School' and verify school enrollment using an authentication code.
