PDF and page numbers - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

ebook reader??

I have downloaded a couple of ebook readers but they don't have the function that I am looking for. What I am looking for is an app that will take an ebook that I import and read it back to me. Something like audible or books on tape functionality. Does anyone know if there is an app that currently does this and which one do you guys recommend?
The one I use is Ambling book player. There is a lite version for free
to see if you like it and, a personal and pro editions if you do.
It's in the market.
It doesn't look like that app will import pdf or .epub extensions. I am looking for something that will take a pdf or .epub or some other text version of a book and interpret and then read it back. Kind of like text-to-speech for text messages...

[Q] TW ebook app categories

I like this app simply for its ability to add book marks. For some reason, other readers lacked this. (at least pdf readers).
I'd like to be able to categorize the books and pdfs I have on my tab. I can add new categories easily enough, but when I try to add books and pdfs, the application puts them under the default category and I can't for the life of me figure out how to move them elsewhere. Anyone use this app and know how to do this?
Calibre, calibre, calibre. Best program bar none for organizing, converting, categorizing e-books, and its free. Don't think there is an android app yet, but you can use it with Android devices:

[Q] Android UX for PDFs in Apps

I am working with a developer to create an app that is primarily based on PDFs. The app consists of navigation structure and tags that allow a user to find a specific pdf they are looking for. The question I have is, how do users expect an app to handle a PDF?
We can use an open source PDF viewer like APV PDF and keep the pdfs within the app, but most of the open source readers I tested were slow and lacked features like pinch to zoom. The other option is to use a pdf intent and allow the user to choose a pdf reader on their device. My only concern with this is the confusion of moving between the core app and the pdf app. Especially when some pdf apps have their own action bar that would take the user back to the PDF app home.
Without spending the money on a special PDF API, are there any best practices for handling a situation like this? Will most users realize they are leaving the app and can just hit back to return to the app?
Any feedback on this situation would be very helpful.

[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.

I do not think it is free

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] 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
