Does anyone know of a PDF reader that allows for macros? I'm an engineer and my schematics are in pdf but have macros that allow you to click on a link that allows you to jump to another page with that specific signal. Would be useful for my work use.
***edit****
They aren't macros its javascript.
Anyone?? OR does this kind of app not exist? Or are people wondering why on earth i want to read a schematic on a phone lol...

It appears i found an app that allows for in pdf linking. qPDF which is a great app so far. I will see how it works over time. I still haven't found anything that supports javascript

Hello,
Do you know any good software for creating PDF files right on the mobile device? I've found FluidPDF, but I was wondering if there are others (cheaper or free).
Thanks
I have very little experience creating PDFs, but on the rare occasions that I have created PDFs I used two different methods...Adobo Photoshop, which is clearly not an option for you, and web-based PDF creators. As in you upload a word document and it outputs a PDF. Not exactly an elegant solution, but it would prob work and there are many such free websites around. Use Word Mobile to create a doc and then upload it. You could get creative and create a local website on your device with the upload parameters, that way you wouldn't have to do as much browsing.
Yeah, I know I can do it that way too, but is not really an option for me. Thanks
try this

Google Gears Beta is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using the following JavaScript APIs:
Local Server Store and serve application resources locally
Database Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database
Workerpool Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness
There is a developers site here:
http://code.google.com/apis/gears/
Am I missing your question? Or are you just trying something on the Internet with other users?
Would it hurt them to put some screenshots on the site??? Idiots

What would they put a screenshot of? Google gears is like an extension that allows online programs to work offline. There is not really any interface or whiz-bang control panel or anything.
As far as I know only buxfer and zoho writer are offering compatibility with it at this point. I signed up for buxfer and I have to say it's pretty slick. It allows you to store your bank credentials *locally* and use them automatically via gears. That's about the only function I would use as I don't see the point of looking at offline snapshots of your bank account.
If you want a screenshot post it yourself..Idiot.
I've developed uTrack, a tool to monitor the location of a WM powered device.

uTrack can be configured to use Google Gears GeoLocation feature if no GPS hardware is available, or the GPS hardware should be assisted.
Greetings,

Hi,
this is my first Android App, so please bear with me if there are still errors. It was a major task to start Android programming with such a tough idea, but well, I did not say I started programming with this app
DroidReader is a PDF Reader Application. It uses native code in the background, to be specific, it uses the MuPDF rendering software/library. I'm aware of existing closed source PDF readers and some approaches to do it all in Java. So this should be different as for now.
DroidReader is Free and Open Source Software (licence is GPL v3).
The App and its sources are available at Google Code:
http : // code.google.com / p / droidreader
The App is now (since v0.3) also available via SlideME.
(I'm sorry, I can't post a full link as of now, as I'm still a "new user" on this forum, despite reading it since years... so please remove the spaces for now, I think I'll get that settled soon.)
Note for users: This application needs a file manager in order to open PDF files. Generally, you should be able to use a file manager of your choice and just click on the PDF. If you want to use the "Open" menu item, then a filemanager that understands the openintent.org's PICK_FILE intent is needed, e.g. the OI File Manager.
This App needs at minimum the Android 1.5 platform.
Changelog:
v0.5: rewiring of code, noticeable to end user: smaller install footprint, better cmap handling, small changes & bug fixes
v0.4: support for automatic tilesize calculation, now it should work on bigger screens, too. Also there is now a configuration dialog that allows to specify the default zoom level.
v0.3: added an "about" dialog
v0.2: lots of improvements, UI slightly modified for easier navigation, zoom&rotation fully implemented, ability to open password-protected PDFs, CJK support, lots of bugfixes
v0.1: initial version, still very rough and not all that shiny and thus not yet in the Market. Download available on the project's homepage.
Please note that any comments are very welcome! You can comment in this thread (and I will try to answer any questions ASAP) or on the mailing list (see the project's home page).
Similar approach in another project
Hi again, I just became aware of a similar project (well, as I said: I did this to learn Android programming as well, so this doesn't mean my time was wasted). I hope that we can combine our efforts soon. It is also at Google Code (and I still cannot post Links) and it is called "Android PDF Viewer", and has a short Acronym which appears as project name in URLs: APV. It also uses the MuPDF library and is also GPLv3. Just for your information.
To have an android PDF reader with the capability to make annotation and highlights is the most important thing. Apple has that software called "iannotate" and it manages it perfect. Android should have one. Is ther any expert working on this?
Best reader for Pandigital Novel
DroidReader is the best PDF reader I've found for use on the Pandigital Novel (hacked). All the others require one to drag your finger to move from page to page. That isn't as handy as the next and previous buttons. Adobe's reader is useless because it doesn't let you jump to a page.
I wish you'd enhance DroidReader to remember the last page in a PDF. I've also found some pdfs it won't open, but Android PDF Viewer will. The problem with Android PDF Viewer is that it is SLOW (unless I'm using a different one than you are referring to). It is so slow that it is unusable on the Novel.
Thank you for the feedback. I think I can manage to finally hack a bit further on this and your suggestion is certainly among the easier things still in the pipeline. I got a bit distracted recently, but I'm still motivated to further improve Droidreader. Being distracted, I am also not very up-to-date as to what's the fastest PDF reader available... I think in about two weeks, some development efforts should been done... I'll update this thread then!
I have a WordPress site that I am wanting to enclose in an android app and I wanted to see if there was a way I could use some sort of a wrapper for this? I looked at feed.nu and it is good, but it does not allow me to use all the functionality of my WordPress site.
Thanks,
Adam
Good day. I don't know if I'm posting in the right place but here goes. I need some help. I am new to app development and I honestly have no idea where to start. I have an app idea and haven't found one like it. It is a app that I really need for myself and would make my life so much easier if it was developed so I thought why not make it myself. I have no real programing knowledge other than basic vbs, basic cmd and basic html coding. This is the plan for my app.
At work we get parts in for our components that need repairing. All the parts have barcode on them so I thought why not speed up my parts checking process by using these barcodes that contain the part numbers to check my parts. The plan is for there to be a computer based program that uses a QR code to link the andriod app and the pc app together over the wifi or Internet. Then on the app you have it using the device camera to scan the barcode in and pass the barcode text to whatever place you have pointed your mouse at in keystrokes much like vbscript sendkeys method. After it scanned there must then be a popup that allows you to enter quantity as some of the items are small with 50 to 100 making scanning that many times just time consuming then after that is complete you can scan again. Also on the scan screen I want the option to manually input the barcode if the barcode has trouble being read. How I see it working is that at he end of the barcode it sends a Tab then after the quantity it sends a Enter. The idea is to use excel and formulas then to calculate parts received from parts outstanding. If someone could be so kind as to assist me or even just help me get starred I will really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. I do not aim to make money from it just see a flaw that can help me and possibly many other people out there in the world.
I'm no expert. Just a hobbyist. But here is what i do if i have a similar need. You can create a local web server. Have your android app send data to the server. And the server will process the data. And send back data to your mobile app. I usually use apache for this but if you use vbs it might be better to use windows server. Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
