hi,
just wondering if anyone has any xperience of using a pocket pc to identify products from diagrams and data preloaded onto a pocket pc.
i have seen this type of program running in microsoft access, jusy wondering if there is such a program that would work on a pocket pc.
basically there is a jpg diagram of the boiler, and theres an excel spreadsheet. on the diagram are arrows pointing to various parts on the diagram with key nos attached to each part.
the excel spreadsheet then has the key no and decription of that part.
if anyone can help me i would be very grateful
thanks alot

hi,
I use microsoftwords to do my company letter head,
when i transfer the letter head to my XDA lli.
It dont look the same at all.
My company name font became other type.
anyone know i can get this done?
You need to copy the fonts used on your PC to your PPC. Even then you may find that the letterhead does not look anything like it does on the PC. PocketWord only supports a subset of the functionality of Word. Anything it doesn't deal with is stripped out when you copy the document across to the PPC.
If you need to use complex documents you probably need to look at something like SoftMakers TextMaker.
setup my headed note paper for my business which contains word art and a jpeg as a pocket word template .dot if it cannot be done can you please suggest sofware which would enable it to be done. once the headed note paper is on my m3100 I will also need to write on it using the keyboard and touchscreen. if I find the right answer I will make a donation.thx
Have you tried exporting a doc from your PC, and using that as a template.
I don't know if Pocket Word supports .dots, but just use a .doc and edit as required.
Otherwise, try TextMaker.

Hi all you great minds out there.
I've been hunting around for a little while trying to find out if this is possible.
I've got this program on my PC called Guitar Pro, a cracking little program which plays midi and guitar tabs together on screen so that you can follow on the guitar, theres a huge online archive of songs that have been converted to guitar pro *.gp3/.gp4/.gp5 format.
Its been great but I find it most annoying that I have to sit in front of my PC to work with this program, so I was really hoping for a program that would recognise the Guitar Pro tab format and run them back a full/half speed ect. I not even that fussed about the midi background.
Now, according to the Guitar Pro website, they MAY release a pocket PC version, this has been the stance for about 2 years, so I can imagine that its a non starter.
Looking around the net I found a program called DGuitar which is supposed to be able to run on any platform with Java, I managed to get a .Jar file to play with but it doesn't install on my pocket PC (would have been a bit too easy eh)
I dont suppose anyone has any input to this conundrum?, perhaps Im being a bit of a lemon with the DGuitar JAR install? or maybe theres another bit of software out there?
Id love to hear everyones input into this, cheers in advance y'all
P.S. I attach the open source DGuitar files to this mail perhaps someone might be able to take a better look at the distribution files
I'd love to be able to use Guitar Pro on my PPC. I'm unable to download this DGuitar file at the moment so I can't verify whether I can get it to work, but I will definitely be watching this thread.
please do, Im tempted to put a flash app together, since my Java skills are lacking. The Flash Lite platform is pretty good.
u should try this..
i think dguitar technically will work on your device together with java emulator software..
Unfortunatelly it's not so easy to convert Java SE (Swing) application to a J2MEE one. There are a lot of problems and as here we would need to convert both GUI and MIDI (sound) I think it's better to find an application predestined for PPC.
Maybe you could use Milktracker. Not exactly guitar but piano! http://www.milkytracker.net/
Or maybe :

Not tried links recently.
Or maybe this link:

Sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree!
After recently coming across the open-source DGuitar project, I became interested in seeing if it was possible to port it to run on a win mobile JVM. As mjanek20 said earlier, the two major obstacles in doing this would be getting the Swing GUI components and the MIDI playback to work on these limited devices. The GUI components are actually not that big of an issue. On most WM devices, third-party JVM's (such as Creme) are available that support AWT and/or Swing components. The *really* difficult part is going to be the MIDI support. I've done a lot of research on this in the last few days, and I can't find any support (Java or otherwise) for low-level MIDI progamming. At best, there is support for playing back an entire MIDI file, but this is not appropriate for a Guitar-Pro viewer/player, where individual MIDI events need to be sent to the MIDI device in real-time. As I see it, there are three possibilties:
1) Substitute the MIDI events with simple tone events. This will give us basic sound, but we will be missing all the nifty effects like sliding, bending, hammer-on/off, fret noise, palm muting, etc.
2) Use a MIDI file exported from a GP file, and try to play this back in sync while displaying the tab in the GUI. Not sure how viable this is, just an idea at this point. I would hope it would solve some of the problems noted in solution 1, but syncronization and looping sections might be a problem here.
3) Program my own MIDI-to-PCM engine. I think some people have already done somethng like this (for instance, I am guessing the guys that came up with the Vibe MIDI sequencer midlet rolled their own), but unfortunately I havent found any open source, and frankly I'm too dumb and lazy to build something like this from scratch...so I'll probably start with solution 1 and then maybe see about implememnting solution 2.
I'll post my progress with the DGuitar port when I make a significant breakthru....if anybody else has any good ideas about a MIDI solution, let me know.
what is your progress with this? have you stop?
Hi,
So what is the actual progress?
I don`t really need the Midi playback, it would be perfect to just view the Tabs of a GP3, GP4 or GP5 File!!
Any other app around?

DQuitar was written in Java indeed. But not in JavaME (ME stands for mobile edition) which is supported by most mobile phone. This is a huge different, and unfortunately DQuitar will not work on mobile devices.
Maybe it could be worth trying using JavaFX from Sun/Oracle while it's still available for our PPCs.
Jbed can run almost nothing where JavaFX behave correctly (except for on-the fly screen rotation). For instance, display is completely messed up using Jbed with Angry Birds, while the game is completely functional using JavaFX.

Hi,
I'm having some troubles about editing Office files (.doc, .ppt and similar)
I have tried Polaris Office, KIngsoft Office and Office Suite but I'm not satysfied by them, though Office Suite it's the best of this apps.
I work with complex documents files, so I need footer, correct paragraphs, tables, hyperlinks, differents type of effects on words, ecc..
Also, I usually edit files originally created with the standard Word or PowerPoint by Microsoft, so I need a great compatibility.
Have you any advice about which Office app is the most complete?
Thanks
ps. Sorry for my English
I personally like Quickoffice Pro because I think its the most complete. You should try it.

If you move to Quickoffice for Word files:
*header/footer will be view only
*you can follow but not edit hyperlinks hidden behind words (the difference between seeing http://www.... and "click here")
*you should be ok with tables, paragraph formatting, and formatting words (we have most of the basic options covered).
In Point files, our latest release includes the ability to view animations, shadow, and reflection effects, as well as covers all the basics for text mentioned above.
If you really want to know if your files work, you can always submit a ticket here with a sample file or two, and our team will test to make sure that you don't run into any issues.
Hope that helps
Would a VNC-type application work for you? As in Splashtop (I think this is included in Asus stock software: see MyCloud).
When format integrity is the most important thing and I have decent connection throughput, this is what I use. Wireless mouse makes a world of difference. Slow connection will make this frustrating to use, though.
The problems with Quickoffice are with footer/header and hyperlinks, as you said.

I have a decent connection, but I don't know what a VNC-type application is
I have an application called "MyCloud", but don't understand what's its function.
A VNC application allows you to view and control a remote PC via another device. So you would be able to edit your documents as if you were using your actual PC, but on the tablet.
I would recommend that you download Splashtop 2 from the Play store as I find it works better with the tablet and dock. The setup is fairly simple.

Thank you for the advice and explanation, i would definitely use that solution!

Ok so in a nutshell, I am a college student with dozens of sets of imported PDF files of PowerPoints. I take notes using S Note on the PDF versions of the PowerPoints and it is incredibly functional and nice. However, I need to print these files and in order to do that, I have to open each individual file within S Note, export to PDF then print using HP ePrint. I want to be able to use Google Drive or my SD Card to access the .snb files on my computer, use a program to EFFICIENTLY convert them into PDF so I can print them with ease from my computer and store them there to avoid cluttering my device. As I said, I have dozens of sets of notes and I really do not want to export each of them one at a time. Is there any application for Android that can accomplish or, better yet, a program available that I can install on my laptop to convert the files efficiently? If not, is there a more functional way to take notes on PDF exported PowerPoints using my S Pen? I can't imagine that Samsung would be that ridiculous about making things hard for someone who wants to simply print some files on a non-Samsung printer directly from the device...
snb to pdf effeciently
I second that request - passionately. I take half a dozen multipage notes a day at work and I need to be able to archive them and access them, print them from computer (rather than a tablet). I have looked and have found no good way to process and convert snb's in mass.
Has anyone sorted out the fix for this yet? Surely it is something Samsung would be well served to address; and horrendously negligent if they do not.
SNB reader, converter...Did you find the answer?
Jkeeling43: Did you ever find the fix for this? I am still searching and I am certain lots of folks are grappling with the same problem.
