Pdf file on homepage - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'm trying to put a shortcut to a pdf file on my homepage but when I click on it, it takes me to the list of all my pdf files. I might as well put the default PDF Viewer there. Am I doing something wrong? Why doesn't my selected pdf file open?

[Q] open bookmarks with alternate browser???

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add a bookmark to the quicklinks but have it open with a browser different to the default one.
I have opera, skyfire and ie installed and would like to have the bookmarks open in the most suitable one.
Thanks
easy, create a normal shortcut to the program, (tested this with opera and iexp,) don't have sky installed but probably works, i think its a browser standard, it works on the pc too.) then copy the shortcut to your pc (or i used notepad for win mobile)
open the .lnk file in notepad, you will see
22#"\Windows\opera9.exe"
then just add a space followed by your url
22#"\Windows\opera9.exe" http://samsamuel.co.uk
or
24#"\Windows\iexplore.exe" http://samsamuel.co.uk
save it, copy back to phone and drop into windows/start menu/programs to be able to assign to quicklinks, or wherever you want to store them.
cool, thanks!!

[Q] Office Suite w/Pen Functionality?

So I have tested pretty much I'd say 97% of the office suite apps available for Android. I'm surprised by the fact that almost none support editing with the pen. Unless I am doing something wrong?
The only one I could get to edit via the pen was Polaris Office. However, after making changes and opening it up in Word 2010 the handwriting was there but fragmented so wasn't legible.
My goal is to be able to open up a document residing in Dropbox on the tablet, make changes so others can open up on PC and view. Have not been successful as of yet.
Anyone have luck with doing it another way? I haven't tried OnLive Desktop yet but not sure it allows the proper access.
**Edit....guess I should mention what I was originally trying to do was put my signature on a Word document so someone else could print it out of Dropbox instead of me having to print it and sign manually.
None of the office apps on the market has built in pen or signature function. You could make a note, save it as an image and paste it in. There are some PDF apps that have signature capability .

That is too bad. I know that ezPDF has added pen integration in. Guess I could convert the .doc to .pdf and then annotate if need be. Like I posted earlier Polaris Office did let me write on it and would work as long as I continued to view it on the tablet. Word is finding errors in the doc once opened but not sure why that is.
Signing an electronic document
The flyer comes with pdf viewer which allows you to electronically sign a document. Convert your word document to pdf and sign it with your pen through pdf viewer.

I can do that via ezPDF as well but was hoping for the ability to markup a Word document & save back into DB so a PC user could then open in Word and view the markups/signature and keep it editable. Since most users don't have anything besides Adobe Reader on their PC the pdf would have to be converted back again and would probably lose the formatting.
Oh well....dare to dream.
This might work for you. Works with Evernote / HTC note. I have not tried it.

Here is an interesting article that basically points out that a document signed as you are attempting cannot be validated .

Actually, the latest version of Adobe Reader allows you to create and add signatures to .pdf documents quite easily.

Where's my documents?

I used window explorer to transfer a bunch of files such as pdf, excel etc.. but when I open office 365 and click on documents on your phone. I couldn't find any files that I transfered.
How do I get to the files?
Well lets start by back tracking and asking where you moved the files too on the phone when you used Windows explorer and then are the files still there when viewed with Windows explorer now.
Then are you telling the app to look in that directory for the docs. It won't just scan the phone and find all the docs. You have to point it to the docs.
Have you tried another app like Open Office? Just to make sure the app is not the issue?

PDF and page numbers

A lot of books have table of contents and other non content-pages towards the beginning that are numbered with roman numerals. So when I tell the pdf reader to jump to a specific page, it doesn't go to the page that is indicated in the book. Adobe reader for windows does this but I haven't been able to find an android app that does. Anyone know of an app that can?

PDF Editor that can add metadata to an existing PDF file

Hi,
is there an app for android that can add (pre-defined) metadata to a pdf file. pre-defined means i create a set of tags and only that tags can be used. I want to "scan" documents on the way, sync them to the local network and then sort the documents to the according sub-folder on my computer automatically using the tags.
this can't be done with apps like camscanner. here i can create tags, but that are not the pdf metadata, thats something saved in the app, not the pdf file.
