Hello all
I was wondering if someone had encountered an application that would facilitate signing documents on our tablets?
Ive tried printing to PDF or JPG and using something like Picsay pro to annotate the document but its a bit round about and picsay only saves a really low resolution image.
I was hoping there was something I could use that could allow me to open a document that may be in word, PDF etc. and sign it using a stylus or finger. I dont care if it has to be converted into a flat image as I am basically just emailing back a signed image anyway.
My current use is NDAs. I get sent them and am expected, print, sign, scan and return. If I could use my TF to do that then not only could I save trees but I could do this anywhere I got cell signal.
There's an app for that: Fill and Sign PDF's
Only works with PDFs that have form fields apparently. Most of these are just going to blank documents that were scanned to PDF.
What I can do is either convert the file to a PDF or just an image and what i need is an image annotator that can handle large files. But currently everything scales it down to being useless.
Id love something that could do it in one fell swoop but I think that is asking too much. Just convert a word/pdf/etc to a flat file that can then be annotated and emailed back as an image/pdf.
I use repligo pdf for document signing. Great app.
Ive gotten close with just the office app but one issue I am having is I recorded a signature but whenever I make a transparent GIF or PNG it shows all wonky on the transformer, just solid black.
Is there a way to get transparent images to display properly?
Give this a look. if you want to be able to sign on a PDF and have a crystal clear finished document.
at least watch the video.

worth the investment for business purposes.
By far IMO the best one i have tried.
Thanks, I think I finally got there with your suggestion, its not the most elegant in all cases but it works.
For straight PDFs I can open relpligo. When they come in as Word documents I went ahead and bought Adobe's PDF creator to convert them to PDF and then sign them in repligo. This works because this means, if they are in word, I can fill out any fields in Polaris, convert to PDF, sign and then send back without ever having to touch a full featured computer.
There is a free app called SIGNificant. You open a PDF document and you can set an area for the signature. HOwever, everytime you sign, you need a WiFi connection or the document won't be saved.

Is it possible to read pdf books in a e reader? If so, which e reader is best for reading pdfs. I have some pdfs of books that I would like to read on my phone using an e reader. I can use adobe acrobat but I have to zoom in and zoom out which is a pain in the butt.
Thanks.
p.s. Im not sure if these pdfs are specially made for e-readers. I would love to have an e-reader which can conveniently display normally created pdf books as well.

I had this issue when i was using a small screen windows mobile phone. My fix was to convert the PDF to text. That way it was more easy to view. Then i would create a .epub file that most e readers use, (with the exception of the ones who need to feel special) this way pages get formatted to a small screen and are a bit easier to read then the pdf.
Also this site may help

Try ezpdf from market.
^+1.. ezpdf is pretty good.

So I convert my pdf and then view them in Google reader or kindle reader etc??
yes, use a converter and you can view it in Google reader which has worked pretty well for me
How do you open it in Google Books. I cant seem to find where it stores e books.
depends if they are text based or image based pdf's. Also if they are technical books (i.e. containing diagrams etc) then it can be problematic.
Most readers try and do a re-flow and don't display high-image content well. Some readers also allow image/reflow choice which solves that problem.
If its just text based books then the world is your oyster and choices are massive. If not then there are less.
Try setting
try the reflow (in foxit reader) or similiar function in the pdf reader. u can read well
I wanted to ask how do I open a pub file in google books?

If I can recall a .pub file is embedded with something that makes it unique to a specific reader. Such as nook or kindle readers.
I know that in order for me to get a book into a reader I usually have to find the default folder and just copy the book over. Try to find a folder that says something gbooks or Google books, open it and see if it has some of your downloaded books in it. If it does just paste your books here, trial and error works for finding which file types are recognized.
Smells like WINNING from my T-959 xda premium app
thanks for the info!
Anyone know of manga/comic viewing apps for the android?
I used to use Cloud Reader on the iPad, but this app is not available on Android as far as I can tell.

Comics or Mango work for me.
There are a few that I use.
Mangawhat : this program reads directly off of mangareader.com and mangafox.com and a few others.
the other two that I use to read off my memory card are:
SCViewer
jjcomic viewer
i was just using xcomic which i found worked well, it had a database of free comics and they all save to your device if you download. You can double tap on a scene and then tap the right of the screen to have it take you through square by square.
I did a lot of research before porting my CBR's over to my TF. Of everything I was able to track down, I found Perfect Viewer (< Market Link) to be the best fit for me.
It looks good on the TF in portrait mode (you can use landscape but without the ability to display dual page, side-by-side, it is less practical). There is a bigger learning curve with Perfect Viewer, but it has really great customization once you get elbows deep into the settings. You can adjust various page transition effects, loading functions, slideshow settings, set page as wallpaper for the TF, etc.. Some things I learned by trial and error (such as touching up at the very top middle of the portrait screen to go back to the bookshelf or assigning doc titles to the tops of each page and page numbers to the bottom). If you elect to use it, you may want to turn off some things such as all of the "load last" options.
All in all, it's a good fit for me. I loaded up a MicroSD with my entire collection of MAD Magazines (Issue #1 to present), and every issue of Zenoscope's Grimm Fairy Tales to test for load issues and the TF handled the bulk well (though you can toggle "Low Memory Mode" if necessary). Once I was comfortable that I had found my reader, I loaded up the rest of my reading fare.
Manga Watcher is my favorite. It links you to several websites to download from automatically. Just input the series and it'll show you how many chapters are out.
Just remember when you first open it you gotta change the setting to watch it in portrait mode and to set it so when you tap the screen, it'll change the page.
i'm using Perfect Viewer, i like the way it's supposed to work, but i'm having a problem setting the bookshelf to my microsd card...i'm using /removable/microsd/comics as the set path but it keeps saying it can't find the folder.....is it possible to set the bookshelf to a microsd card or do you have to use the internal storage?

My collection is on a MicroSD so I know it works. I use the same address as you (/removable/microsd/comics). Here's a few things you could try:
1. Verify that the files are in the directory you listed.
2. Make sure you spelled the address correctly. If any folders have caps in their name then use the same caps. Make sure you didn't type a "\" instead of a "/". The address in my "Manual input" field is as follows, "/Removable/MicroSD/Comics" (I use caps in folder names.)
3. Check to see that the MicroSD card is, in fact, working.
4. You're using *.CBR and *.CBZ files, correct? Not PDF?
I know the things I listed seem simple, but I can't tell you how many times I tore my hair out trying to figure out something and there was a simple solution that had eluded me during that moment.
caps is the key...
thanks, should have known that might be it.
Droid Comic Viewer is good if you don't need a lot of extra features.
is there any way to increase the size of the bookshelf in prefect viewer? In order to see the books a bit larger, tried the pinch zoom, didn't do anything and can't find an option for that.

Unfortunately, no; at least none that I know of. You could always send a suggestion to the creator through the Android Market. I plan on sending a few myself (such as calling up a warning dialog box before completely backing out of the application when hitting the back button; I hate having to relaunch because I went back too far).
I would like to be able to zoom in as well. As it stands, I have to bring up the comic to see the cover, then tap the upper most, middle of the top of the screen to go back to the bookshelf.
I do like that you can see your entire collection, then view it split it up based on the folder layout you set up on the MicroSD card by clicking on the "catagory" button at the top of the bookshelf. I have a huge collection so being able to dedicate the bookshelf to specific folders on the card makes finding things easier.

For my iPhone: Manga Rock and Manga Storm.
For my Nexus 7: Manga Searcher. But I've heard that Manga Rock will come to Android soon. Hopefully, it will be as good as the iOS one. :victory:

You can use Manga Rock for Android. Really polished and well-functioned manga reader app (Japanese comics).

But we need to know the manga title beforehand. It's hard to discover new manga there.
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.

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
I have tried many of these so-called PDF apps available for Android. They all seem to be garbage.
I have a fillable form that I'd like to, you know, fill out. Then save the result to the internal SD card.
The form was created on a Windows computer, using Foxit PDF software. The form was saved in landscape orientation.
Every single Android app that I have tried will open it in portrait orientation. This also means that the text fields are in the wrong direction and the keyboard is wrong too. Many of them do not recognize the form fields, either.
Only one app, so far, will allow me to rotate the form* to the correct orientation (oddly enough, Office 365). However, Office 365 will not allow it to be saved to the SD card. I also can't save it as anything but a PDF.
* = without a subscription.
That's the other rub. Almost all of these apps have most features *except* for just opening and viewing the PDF, available only in the upgrade version.
The Foxit android version also opens it in portrait orientation, but it recognizes the form fields and the text is in the correct direction. It doesn't look like I can save it anywhere other than cloud based crap though- unless saving to SD card is a paid upgrade.
Why the form fields? Mainly to avoid having to use a stylus. Typed text also becomes searchable vs drawing on top of the form image or PDF.
So, has anyone found anything that actually works in an Android environment? There must be literally 100's of PDF apps, and so many of them have bad reviews.

have you tried adobe reader apps ? and what is wrong with saving to internal and then moving to sdcard ?
I have not yet tried saving to internal storage and then moving to SD card.
It's on the list of things to try.
I can only deal with this for so much at a time. It is relatively easy for me to do on a Windows PC, and it is proving to be more difficult than I expected to do the same thing on an Android tablet.
