[Q] View .pages documents in Google Drive - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title says it all. The app supposedly has support for viewing iWork Pages files on Android, but it doesn't work. It gives me a big zoomed out page and when I try to zoom in it vanishes. Any ideas? I can supply a .pages document if someone wants one.

[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.

[Q] GMAIL Desktop View

Up to yesterday morning (29th Dec) I was able to load Gmail in the browser as it would on my desktop.
I had access to the chats and full layout exactly as it was on my PC. With popup chats and full view of all my folders on the left.
Now.. it always loads in some form of mobile view.
I've changed the Website Preference to "mobile version" and back to "desktop version" but that made no real difference.
The login screen looks very basic with the text fields taking up the full width of the screen.
If I login to the account I can switch between basic html and standard view. But neither gives the full desktop experience.
My primary reason for wanting to see the desktop view is so that I can have access to the google chat feature and to my archived chats.
These features are not available in the mobile view.
I've tried deleting history and that made no difference.
Anyone having the same problem? Is anyone still able to get the Desktop view in their gmail?

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?

[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?
PS: I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but it seemed the most appropriate. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
btw what are u using to print pdfs in the standard way?; I mean a slide per page
I am looking for apps to generate pdf, from a note text, image, etc using the SHARE/Send features
Thnx

(q) Someone help me get to this app?

There's an app, sort of a photo viewer, it's perfect for me because it always shows the photos in the order I want. However, on my note 3 running cyanogenmod it's there and it's called "documents". On the s6 however it seems to be there but I can't access it directly unless I'm using an app, for instance if I'm uploading a photo on Twitter It opens. Can someone help me install it so I can look for photos directly in it? I'll post photos of it.
