Alright Nookers, I got one for you all and haven't been able to find exactly what I needed.
I have a project coming up that is going to require a lot of signatures from people when I'm onsite. I would like to keep all this digital on the Nook rather than printing things out. Seems simple enough, and I can find several application that do this, but not to the extent that I would like.
This document is going to be in .doc format. What I have found with the digital signature applications is that they seem to only handle PDF. I've tried looking for Office Applications that allow ink write ups on the document, but haven't found anything yet (haven't paid for D2GO, Quickoffice doesn't have it as far as I've found).
I've thought of a few solutions and maybe you all can help out.
1) After I enter in the necessary information to the document, convert to PDF and use something like SIGNature e-sign. What would be good conversion tools to do such (preferrably ones that don't require to be online doing this).
2) An office app that allows ink mark ups, allowing them to sign.
3) A drawing app that allows someone to sign, then I can do a select all, copy over to the document and resize if necessary.
I'm probably making this way too hard on myself. I'd rather not have to re-create this other persons document as a text enter PDF if I can. Suggestions?

Why not just find a art program that lets you save the image? When I had to submit paperwork with digitalized signatures the easiest way was to capture the signitures as images and then put the images into the .doc. Though this method will require the signatories to trust you with their signature on a blank page.
The reason that the programs you find use pdf is that .doc is an editable format so it's similar to the problem of the option i mention. That's why those programs use pdfs when can be locked from editing.

The answer is probably not...
What I am looking for is a freeware editor that supports common cross-platform formats like RTF or DOC and maintains hyperlinks inserted in them. The idea is to create a document on the desktop with relative links to other documents in the same directory and be able to use them when the whole directory is synced to the phone.
I don't want to use a proprietary format like OneNote, PhatNotes, ListPro etc., so that I could keep using the files when I switch phones next year, whether I go Android or stay with Windows. This also helps to keep info portable and useable across computers and platforms on the desktop. I had to switch, in the past, from ShadowPlan to PocketThinker to ListPro and moving the info to the new platform has always been a major, royal PITA. I now want to convert my existing ListPro files for the last time into format that I can use from now on without changes.
Any help is appreciated !

Thanks, this looks very promising. But it doesn't support hyperlinks, does it ? I will try it today.
I tried AgileNoes. It's indeed a very good application, and as far as file handling is concerned, it's superior to Pocket Word. It does however have a major flaw - there's no way to search for text in a document, at least none that I could find. So if I have a large file with multiple notes, I need to use Word to find info quickly.
Unfortunately, though, no hyperlinks...
I am considering buying a Flyer, and was wondering if somebody could try something for me please?
I've heard that you can edit office documents on the flyer, and was wondering if
A. It was limited to Microsoft Office,
B. Can you use drop down menus etc. setup in a spreadsheet,
C. Does formatting carry over directly from a P.C. or do you lose some of the formatting like most portable office viewers.
If somebody was able to carry out a few tests for me using Microsoft Office, and OpenOffice, I would be hugely grateful.
Cheers.
Steve.
Anybody able to give me any answers?
Well I'll add some info...I have not done a lot of document editing on the tablet, however. I have opened up some word, excel, and powerpoint documents, and it holds up the format well for viewing on tablet from what I have seen. The software used is polaris office. Editing abilities for powerpoints are severely limited. You can move stuff around and edit text. I am not seeing an obvious way to add items. Excel is similar in limitations. Word limits things to simple text editing (bold italics underline). Overall I'm going to say it is mostly just suitable for viewing these things, unless the document is very basic.
My other advice is to head on over to a best buy or sprint and try some of your files out first hand. They may let you plug in a sd card, or if not, throw a few files up on dropbox and download them to the tab in store. I did that to see how powerpoints would look on it, which was my main concern.
Cheers johnchad14.
I'll give it a try.
Morning all,
I need some help to resolve 2 questions.
1. How can i change the configuration to unlock the phone, not only by using "Power" button, but also "Home" button?
2. How can i transfer .epub files into my Windows Phone?
All i can find in XDA involved Android, or Windows Mobile, but not Windows Phone.
So any help is highly appreciated.
Don't think you can change the button function without an unlocked device and some hacking wizardry but I found this about .epub docs
Flibusta provides downloadable texts in .fb2, .epub or .mobi formats. The Windows Phone 7 Marketplace is tiny compared to Google market, but I found one free ebook reader called Freda that is able to read .epub files. Buried down in the UI ofr Freda, there is a Website page that allows to paste an URL in the text box. The same page also embeds Internet Explorer. I figured that the text box shall be used to download .epub document to the device. However, pasting a url to an .epub file distributed by Flibusta did not work. I tried another ebook reader, called iSilo. It was a very usable and feature-rich program on my old Palm TT, but it could not open my .epub file either.
An inspection of the HTTP session between the browser and Flibusta allowed to pinpoint a problem. Flibusta issues two HTTP 302 redirects: one to insure that the .fb2 document is converted to .epub and the other to compresses the .epub document, if needed. The Internet Explorer used in Windows Phone 7 did not want to follow the redirects, but typing manually the url given in the last redirect in the Freda search box worked.

Thanks for the info about Flibusta and the redirects - I will check it out, and make sure it works with the next release of Freda. Actually, I am about to start beta-testing that release in the next days, so if you want to join the beta-testing team, just let me know ([email protected]).
Incidentally, the flibusta catalog is also available as an OPDS book source on Freda (just find the 'unhide source' menu, and unhide the source called 'flibusta'). That should give a better book browsing experience. That 'website source' interface is really just a workaround for the fact that Microsoft won't let me register a program (e.g. Freda) as the app to open .epub files - and I'd be the first to admit that it is a pretty ugly workaround.
So i got myself an OBD bluetooth scanner and the Torque app...bloody brilliant.
So much information!
anyway, i cant seem to get it to upload data logs to the web viewer?
i have my account created and setup correctly but nothing in the web viewer when i log in.
Does anyone use the app and have any ideas on how to get this to work?
Secondary i have e-mailed myself some data logs and cant get them to open properly?
I cant seem to get Track Recorder to work with Torque Sync software, it stucks at Searching for Torque

I imagine the particular posters have found answers to their problems seeing as this thread
dates from 2014 but I thought it might be worthwhile answering all the same as I ran in to the same niggles when I began using this app so if anyone searching these issues subsequently may find some worth from my reply.
First of all as a far as experience and knowledge is concerned. Firstly with cars;fixing,modifying, engine management tuning, obd2, diagnostics. Basically my auto knowledge is extremely wide and extensive from approx 35 years of obsession and getting stuck in an the deep end whereas my knowledge and experience of computers and smart phone tech is on much, much shakier ground
In fact, for those of my vintage. i.e late 30s,early 40s remember when we were kids. and programmable VCRs were the height of cutting edga technology. Well I'm like the way our parents and grand parents were then. i.e pretty much baffled by it and even following the instructions it was hit and miss whether you actually managed to record that film rhat was on at 4am lol.
So for the second issue brought up by the OP it doesn't matter whether you email yourself the log file or not (I found the few times i tried it that the file wouldn't attach and when it did the problem was the same anyway) you need Microsoft Office or any other type of office suite to view the files. On the pc i have Microsoft office but had to download an app to my phone to view. csv files. Again an office suite that not only displays. csv files but puts them into a spreadsheet format is required.
As for the first issue it's preferable in every way to view the site. on a pc because on the phone display the actual box to sign into is off screen and takes a little bit of zooming out and seaching to find, the same goes after you have signed in when another box appears with a list of the logs files recorded and the tab to choose it. This is where my lack of fundamental computer/web knowledge comes in. I can't tell you why it doesn't sit nicely inti an easily accessible mobile format but it doesn't. Once you've found the first sign in box/pop up it becomes simple, annoying but simple.
As for there being nothing after signing into the webview site successfully all I can assume is either you've no log files to view which you should have if it's all been set up correctly, including choosing which PIDs to send to logfile or the pop up/window where you click on your logfiles is right off screen and has to be looked for. Of course you don't get that problem if accessed using your desktop.
Does anyone know of an app that would behave like Pocket, but instead of saving the whole page it would allow you just to save bits of text from pages?
Its for learning purposes mostly. I spend a lot of times on FB groups or similiar places, and in like 90% of cases I need to save just one post in a thread, or just a short bit of text. Saving the whole page is counter productive cause either I forget why exactly I saved it, or I have to spend a lot of times looking for the exact info I wanted.
Pocket works great for what it's intended, and I would need something similar. Right now copy and paste seems to be the best solution, but when I send it to OneNote it adds it to new page, and what's worse it won't let me choose which workbook.
So, I need to be able to save part of text (saving images too would be a plus) and be able to quickly find it (via tags or something else). And of course, the ability to export it all. Can anyone recommend something?
I use Google Keep in exactly the manner you describe.
Take a screenshot, crop the image to only the important stuff. Move the images to a special folder perhaps, using any file manager. That's how I do it
