[Q] PDF printer/converter with "multiple pages per page" option - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] Searching handwritten HTC-Notes from Evernote?

Hi,
I thought I'd seen something, somewhere that I could:
- go into the Notes applicaton
- hardwritten a shopping list (for example)
- sync to Evernote
- use Evernote for Windows to retrieve the documents from the cloud
- search for an item from the shopping list to reveal the document.
Something about this is all possible due to the way Evernote processes the image it can work out in some cases words. Now if that fantasy in my mind or is it that my handwritten on the Flyer is that bad that Evernote doesn't stand a chance?.
Thanks
Iain
I didn't check it now but Evernote search text also in handwritten notes.
If you are asking if Evernote will search your handwritten notes, the answer is yes. It does a pretty good job. I would say that it gets it right about 80% of the time even with my poor handwriting. The better you are at block letters, the better the results.

OK Thanks.
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong then please?
Using 'Notes' I've created a new document and simply written "THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT".
I've allowed 'Notes' to sync with Evernote.
On my Windows PC, I've had Evernote on this sync, and it successfully picks up the new document. If I then use the Search feature it find no documents, unless the word I was searching for was typed, or contained in the insert header or footer (ie top in which reads "Note: This is a screenshot of the note that you created on HTC Flyer.").
I've attached to this post an image of the written document.
I'm only using the free version of Evernote account.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Iain
Worked for me. You may have to wait for Evernote to run the OCR if you're just on the free version. This search was done a day after writing the note.

After one day it worked for me.
Thanks all. I now understand and it's working.
I'd read in the Evernote instructions that the image would need to processed for searching, and that Premium users had priority.
I'd thought however that once the document was available within the Evernote client that this mean't that the search processing had occurred. In fact the document will sync almost immediately, but ( I think ) will later resync to update the search information.
As SciFlyer said, once it's working it does work rather well.
Thanks again

a power point question.

does anyone know if there is an app that will allow you to create, from your tablet, a power point slide show with slides that you already have created and saved individually on your tablet? I've been through every office app i can find and suprisingly, none allow this feature.
I have a Asus Transformer TF101. It came from factory with pre-installed app called Polaris Office. It has Powerpoint, Word, Excel and for quick edit or create simple powerpoint slide, it does the work.
Google Document is another that you can use to create the powerpoint slide you want and send a copy to yourself.
I appreciate the post but that's not what i asked. Every office app out there will allow you to create a power point slide. I'm asking for a very specific function, the function to be able to create power point slide SHOWS, as in, more then one slides, with slides that you already have saved to your sdcard or internal memory. So basically, i wanthing to open up a file that contains all of my saved slides (in this case chord charts for songs for my church) and then be able to choose 4 or 5 of them and put them into a slide show so i can view all of them in sequentially....make sense?

[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.

Looking for Bookmark Sync Alternative to Google Bookmarks or Pocket(Read It Later)

I have tried a gmarks(Google Bookmarks) app and the app named Pocket(formerly read it later), but niether quite fufill my need for syncing web page URLs to the cloud. The Android side of things works sufficent for the most part, but fall short on the Firefox add on side. For example gmarks has tag support so when I view my list, I can organize by categories rather then a long list of URLs. This would be ideal but the two most popular gmarks add ons for Firefox are broken or partially broken. Pocket works great on Android and Firefox, but lacks tags for organizing by a categorey. so I end up with a long list of URLs simply sorted by the time I add them.
I was hoping some one here can recomend an Android App for syncing URLs to the cloud that also has a supported/working Firefox Add on, and it must support tags. Preferably, function similar to Pocket, on Firefox would be nice. What I mean by this is I simply click a button and a small list appears and I do not have to even browse to the companies website to browse my bookmarks. However, I could live with a button that will simply launch the providers website if it comes down to it.

You've tested XMarks or CMarks ?
Well Cmarks does not offer Firefox integration form the looks of it, and I use xmarks for my firefox bookmarks already. Xmarks is great but for this case it is more then what I want and does not offer any sort of label system. The reason I say it is more then what I want is it does not function at all like Pocket or Gmarks type apps. I do nto want these book marks to actually sync in to my browsers bookmarks because the URLs I am bookmarking are only for short term use.

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?
