anyone know if there is a way to save a webpage as a pdf? I frequent a few tutorials and it would be nice to be able to pull them up without having to go online all the time. used cutepdf in windows to achieve this, but its a pain to transfer all the time
Have you tried poking around in the Chrome extensions or Google Doc's? I know that you can have Doc's as the default to view PDF's and I also know that you can save as a PDF in Doc's so it might work.
yea but are you talking about copy-pasting everything? that's not what I would want, I wanna keep the format of the page at least somewhat
I use PDF995
It install a PDF printer on you machine, so you can print to PDF format from what ever you are doing.
Get it at
http://www.pdf995.com/
not at all what im looking for if you would read my first post. I didnt really think this was possible, maybe once we get root, but for now il use the free, non-ad-supported, cutepdf and transfer them over

You orignal post above, clearly states you are looking to be able to save a website as a pdf, so you can view them offline.
This is EXCATLY what PDF995 does. maybe you should state in your ORGINAL post that you want to do this on your phone? as you don't seem to mention that at all. So I was clearly showing you away to do this on your computer, so you could transfer those files to your phone.

Nope, when you use PDF995, it fake prints what you are looking at, into a PDF document, so you can view the exact page as it is in a PDF offline. All it does is add a virtual printer in your control panel, which actually prints to a PDF not a piece of paper, therefore keeping the EXACT format as you see.

Erm actually I read your post, as I have just explained. If this is not what your talking about, why don't you explain what you are talking about?

Did a search, so sorry if I missed it. But, a couple of questions.
1) If you have root, is it possible to download and save PDF and Word files that come in on POP3 (or even gmail) email?
2) Otherwise, does anyone know the phone folder where these files are temporarily store while on the phone, and can they be accessed that way?
I spend a lot of time overseas, and going back and forth to the web to retrieve is a pain and expensive. Thanks
Forget it, I solved the issue.
Informing use how you solved the issue might help others
I'd be really interested in how you managed this, I've searched here, and Googled everywhere (almost). But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

lol...gotta love these types of posts right?
I'm able to save attachments like this using k-9 mail., for those interested
Sorry to go AWOL -- had to leave the country for a bit. My apologies.
Yeah, I also "solved" it by using K9. But, I find the program very buggie.
On a larger, related question, how does the Android platform make its file associations? In other words, when I receive an email attachment (with the stock app), it will allow me to download and save that attachment to my SD card only if there is an onboard, associated program. I can download .jpg, because Android has an application built in that will read a jpg. So, if I want to download a .doc file, I can't unless there is an appropriate app onboard. (Although k9 seems to have found a way). Where, in the Android platform, is this association made? And, is it possible (with a rooted phone) to somehow manipulate those associations to allow downloading of ANY (or a chosen few) files?
For instance, I find that if I change the file extension on a Word doc (for example) from "doc" to "jpg", my onboard email will allow me to download and save to SD card. So, it obviously CAN do it, what's stopping it?
Again, sorry for "skipping out" in the midst of a thread.
Download Crutch Lite in the market allows you to download any file by making Android believe it can open any filetype.
Theres a app called download crutch on the market that allows downloading of files that may not have associated applications. Not exactly sure what file types it supports but its worth a shot.
EDIT: Fushichou got it before me but heres a link to Cyrket http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=download+crutch
Thanks, but my experience is that Crutch will not work on email attachments. It seems to be an internet based device. I used it for a while. Partially, this is a kind of tech question -- how are the files associated?
I have noticed today that while you can copy and paste text within Polaris, you cannot paste text from another app. I have tried to copy text from a variety of other apps and cannot seem to paste it into the a new Document, even though I have put the Document in Edit mode.
This is disappointing as I frequently grab text from a variety of sources and create a document with it. Does any of the Office apps allow pasting between apps?
Thanks
Glen
Polaris does indeed not seem to support that... Maybe they use a different kind of clipboard to store data?
Documents to Go (paid) and Quick Office HD Pro both support the paste, Picsel Office does not. Hope that helps. I also have done a comparison between all four office suites; link is in my signature!
Thanks for confirming. I have read all your comparisons. I appreciate your help. Sad that Polaris doesn't support that simple feature.
Strange, I have managed to copy a URL into Polaris via the stock browser. Not tried from anything else yet tho.

I tried inserting part of an email into a newly created Polaris Word document but it didn't show up.
yeah the insert option in Polaris does allow you to insert certain things but not outside text.....which is weird. Hopefully a future fix as i do also use that option alot.
Sorry for the slight thread hijack, but:
Default text size. Does Polaris Office (or any office app) allow you to change it? The default size is quite small for me. I'd like to be able to open a new document at a more comfortable size and just bang away notes.
Thanks.
I was able to copy and paste a ton of text from ezpdf into Polaris.
EDIT: That seems to be the only one that works though.
EDIT 2: Hmm, now it has stopped working. Weird, since it was working just 2 days ago
EDIT 3: I'm thinking the copy paste issue was a result of the OTA update, since it was definitely working a while back.

Hopefully, Polaris will provide us with an update to fix the issue.

I have just copied and pasted text into Polaris from repligo pdf, gmail, and browser app without a problem.
I just tried to copy from email/gmail and a bible program and nothing pasted into Polaris Office.

This seems to hint towards a different usage of the clipboard...
Sent from my TF101
It seems like there are 2 clipboards - the normal one and a polaris one. I tried pasting into the "insert hyperlink" box and it pasted from the normal clipboard (other apps). Pasting into the document itself used the text I copied from polaris itself.
Well..I ponied up for the 15.00 for Documents to go...I have to be able to paste into my office suite for crying out loud.....
When Polaris office gets it stuff together as far as pasting things into it...then I'll give it a shot again...

My wife's Transformer doesn't have the OTA update yet, and she can copy and paste in Polaris. However, copy and paste does NOT work on my Transformer, and I have installed the OTA update. So yes, I would say for sure it's a result of the OTA update. Unfortunate, hopefully Asus can fix it on the next update.

This seems like a huge oversight. I started a thread over on their facebook page. Hopefully they do something to remedy it.
Has anything happened yet about this problem? I mean any changes?
No changes with the 3.1 upgrade. I solved it by purchasing Docs To Go yesterday from Amazon for $7.49
Alright, this might be old news, but ive been trying to find a way to write contracts on my phone and save them as a PDF. I just figured it out so here we go.
One catch..you need to be rooted.
First you need an office program, quick office, polaris office, something like that.
Write up your contract, either new or import your original one you would use in your office program. The formatting may make it look a little weird, I will be making a new version of mine just for my phone.
Use shoot me or drocap, go find your file and take a screenshot.
Then you need cam scanner or an app like it.
Open cam scanner and find your photo of your contract. Crop to size. Press the adobe PDF button at the bottom, and there you go. Send it to yourself to test.
Also I had to install adobe reader app for it all to work.

nice find!!!
Alright, so this use is very specific and I'd be surprised if there is an app that could do what I need but I'm going to try anyway.
I have a RSS feed where each new article has a PDF attachment - in fact, the RSS feed is to get this particular periodical which is released in the PDF format.
I've tried a couple of RSS readers and they sync the new post but not the PDF file. I want to be able to download PDF files from the reader and either read it in the reader or open it using another PDF reader.
Are there any RSS readers which can download attachments?
I don't know about Metro-style apps, but the built in RSS feature of IE can do file download links. It's not the best of interfaces (by a considerable margin), though. Outlook's reader may suit you better except it's not available for RT.

I didn't know that IE had an RSS feature. I'll check that out. Thanks!

Thanks! This worked out fine. I was able to subscribe to the RSS feed and select "Download attached files" in the options. This worked perfectly for me.
The non-touchiness (did I just make up a word?) is an issue but once I had the setup, I don't ever need to look at the feed itself. I can just look at the folder where files are downloaded and other stuff happens in the background.
Thanks again!
One more question though - is there a way to specify the location of the downloaded attachments in IE? By default, it stores attachments in /temp/Internet/ ... blah. I was able to pin this folder to the start menu for easy access but it would be nice to tell IE where to store the attachments.
Any help here would be appreciated.
You're welcome! I'm glad that worked out for you. Yeah, IE has actually had an RSS/ATOM feed reader since version 7, but it's gotten more and more hidden with each release (back in IE7, you could select options like having it play a sound when a feed was discovered, for example). IE10 has improved the reader a bit, but it's still kind of hidden.
I didn't find a way to specify where to deliver the downloaded files, sadly. The best option I know of is to use a directory symbolic link so that when IE thinks it's writing to the temp folder, it's actually writing to a more accessible location that you selected. However, setting up one of these requires using an admin command line, and carries some risk of messing things up. If you would like to do so anyhow, specify the full paths to your temp folder (where the downloads are going now) and the folder you want to put them in instead, and I'll give you a simple script to make it happen if possible, or at least tell you what you would need to do.
Thanks for the offer! Let me dig around a little bit more and if all else fails, I'll come back to you
First its the right price FREE second I can connect to windows share folders and read comics from computer.Easy to setup great options for tweaking the look of comics , haven't had any problems opening any comics so far.I own Comic Rack,Mobi Comic reader and a few others but I use this one the most.:good:

Thanks a lot!!! This is what I needed.
This app is so close but fails. I have a large comic collection, 200GB+ and I find a lot of the times when I go to open a comic off the SMB Share it will sit at Loading File List and count up endlessly. Makes it unusable. Unless someone here knows a fix?

I have a collection of 300GB+ and no problems here. I should note, though, that I have my comics organized into folders and subfolders, not just 25,000 files sitting in one directory. My first suggestion is to try creating a folder with 50-100 cbr/cbz files and see if you have a problem loading the list then.

Hey,
So I know this is an old thread but I was hoping for some help. I just found this app and it sounds great, but I am a huge NOOB when it comes to some things. I have my comics folder being shared on my windows 8.1 PC, but I have no idea how I access it via the app. I am able to find the part where I have to input the server path into the app, but I'm not sure what format that takes. I have the IP address, then backslash, computer name, backslash folder name. Not working. How do I know what the path name should be exactly?
Thanks.
Hello,
I've tested this app in order to resolve my main concern about reading comics. As you folks, I have 300Gb+ collection in SMB share, so I need an easy way to navigate through my collection, and ComittoN is really FAST navigating through folders. I also used Perfect Viewer, which also hace CIFS/SMB support, but is painfully slow regarding folfer navigation, specially when using thumbnails.
BUT, as far as I've tested ComittoN, it's only working in Manga mode (reading right to left). I have a lot of manga, but only means 25-30% of the collection, and reading western comics right to left is really weird. Is there any config menu to select reading mode in ComittoN?
Thank you.

I have my collection in Airport shared, in 192.168.1.10. Attached hard drive is named "Cache", and it has one directory, called "Comics".
So, format is as follows:
IP: 192.168.1.10/Cache/Comics
Username: *****
Password: ****
Workgroup: default
I think your issue is with naming convention in shared resources. You have to use "IP"/"Shared resource"/"Directory". You're using "computer name" as shared resource, but I think you should use there the name of the shared resource, not computer name (*I think*).
