[Q] PDFs - General Questions and Answers

On my browser I go to websites to look up scholarly articles in the forms of PDFs. Some times I'm able to tap and download them so that I can view it in various pdf viewers and other times I get directed to a *****in blank page.
I am not asking to view the pdf in the browser. Google isn't helping me neither is the search function. I just want to have the option/ability to download a pdf so that I can either view it then or save it to my dropbox.

browser pdf
Its usually a setting in your browser.
whether or not to download or open file types
Check options in browser.

I've navigated through the settings and have not found anything to pop out at me as a solution.

Print to PDF app?

I am looking for an app that can print a web page into PDF. Kind of like that app cutepdf for the pc. I often find myself on web pages that I'd like to save as a pdf.
I'd like it to print the entire web page not just what you see on the screen.
Thanks for any help.

you'll have to create a bookmark and amend the link to:
javascript:void(window.open('http://www.pdfdownload.org/web2pdf/Default.aspx?left=0&right=0&top=0&bottom=0&page=0&cURL='+document.location.href));

Unable to download PDF onto phone from Google Docs

Not sure where to post this so here goes.....
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 and usually use Opera Mini.
In the past, I had been able to go to the mobile version of Google docs through Opera, log in, click on a PDF file, save to My Documents and then open the file through My Documents which allowed me to then zoom in/out as needed to read the document.
As of a day or two ago, whenever I click on a PDF, it simply opens except the pages are so small it's impossible to read the text. The zoom bar doesn't do anything. Double clicking doesn't do anything. Hold clicking on the file doesn't give any option to save/download the file.
I've logged in through my laptop and although PDF's do open directly in Google Docs when you click on them, if you right click it does give you an option to download. I can't seem to find this option anywhere on my phone, although it used to be the default option up until 2 days ago.

Google Docs reader for Android

I think this is a great, letting you work with the Cloud more effectively. The view will allow you to view PDFs, .ppt, .doc and .docx files you’ve uploaded to your documents list, without needing to download the file.
With the mobile viewer you can switch quickly between pages and pan/zoom within a page.

Viewing PDF files in web browser windows?

At my work I use a web browser based online medical billing system to enter various types of client/patient data. Some of this data must be entered into PDF files that when opened on a Windows OS computer, open up a PDF in a web browser window. I then enter the data into the PDF and can save, as well as edit it in that window. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable such a feature using an Android web browser? So far I have tried just about all Android web browsers and have not been able to do this. Every time I attempt to do this using one of the Android web browsers the PDF file usually just is downloaded, yet it is a blank PDF with none of the previously entered data. I would love to be able to use my new Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition for work, rather than my relatively large work laptop. Any help with this question would be most appreciated.

[Q] PDF printer/converter with "multiple pages per page" option

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for an Android app that converts/prints documents (.doc, .ppt, even other PDF) to PDF, but with a twist: I need it to be able to put multiple pages on a single page.
My user case is the following: I have a PPT converted to PDF, where each page of the PDF is a single slide. However, I want to make it a PDF with 2 slides per A4 page, right there on my tablet (I do know how to do it on the PC). Note that I already have apps that print to PDF, page per page! What I still couldn't find is one that has the option to put multiple pages on a single page!
Is there an android app that can do this?
