I find I can print pdfs of web pages in Firefox and Dolphin HD, but there are no headers or footers with urls and page numbers like most printouts from a computer would have. Also, Dolphin will not print logged in web pages to PDF, but Firefox will. Any suggestions?
What other browsers have this capability?
Are there any system print to pdf utilities, such as a driver for a virtual printer that creates PDF files, that may allow creating pdfs from other applications as well as web browsers?
Thanks
Dolphin HD can save a web page as an HTML file, but it asks for the filename and supplies a poor default such as "index.html". I wish the default file name could be the title of the web page.
Are there any other browsers that can save a web page as HTML? I do not find this ability in the standard browser, FireFox, Skyfire, or Opera Mobile (unless I overlooked something). Opera Mobile does provide a save, but its in a proprietary format, not what I am looking for.
Thanks
Ok so I'm curious to know what everyone is using their TFP's for at uni/college or work? are you using certain apps for notes or apps for other work, such as photoshop touch ect, list your top 3 most used apps when at work or uni/college
OneNote - Note taking & syncing with OneNote on the PC at home
RepliGo Reader - viewing and editing large PDFs
DropBox - syncing files in general
Honourable mention - HY Reader - best CHM reader for my medical textbooks (I've tested all the CHM reader's on the market, HY reader is probably the simplest to use that displays all the CHM files with correct formatting)
For Work:
--> Better Terminal Emulator Pro (BTEP).
--> jTalk.
--> The built in email client.
BTEP gives me a good terminal and until recently was the only one able to support the keybindings I want (the open source Terminal Emulator can now do that). It has bash, (d)ash, busybox, and dropbear built in but generally I use it with a Debian chroot. That gives me all the local utility of my work station and our development server, while trading raw power (Dual Xeons > Tegra family) for a decent battery. I typically work using OpenSSH and tmux on my system, although any SSH client and screen on the development server would work just fine.
jTalk let's me connect to the local XMPP server and has grown into a reasonable client. Something that apps like eBuddy can't do. This saves me from running pidgin on my work station and missing IMs from co-workers, just 'cuz I use my transformer for most of my job ^_^.
The built in email client because my company uses Microsoft Exchange for the core e-mail system, and I prefer the account sync + push over polling the bloody things IMAP interface. I could also always use mutt or nail locally via that IMAP interface or the web interface in a browser, but I prefer the Android client.
Worth mentioning:
For notes: I use Flick Note and a Simplenote account but intend to replace Flick Note with a custom written client, because it's gotten to be less usable as the "Tablet" support has been introduced.
For files: I use OpenSSH's scp command and Dropbox (workstation set to only sync folders suited for work though).

I'm not using it for the uni/collogue but one of my favorite Apps and even would be in that usecasse JotterPad HD.
A great minimalistic text editor with useful features like undo/redo keyboard shortcuts and a timeline for the last 10 versions of a document as well as .txt and pdf export.

I have used and like OfficeSuite Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobisystems.editor.office_registered
Splashtop HD
ES file explorer(with dropbox)
Polaris office/ezPDF
repligo reader
Quickoffice
Xspeed player (plays my lecture podcasts at 2x)

I find Mindjet to be a really great app for taking notes for classes that involve many different things that are all interconnected, which is basically all of my education courses.
Jorte is usually my go-to scheduler, but I'm liking Business Calendar more and more, especially their re-sizable and scrollable widget.
Astrid 4.0 Beta (only found here: http://blog.astrid.com/astrid-4-0-beta-tablet-ux-anyone/) is the same Astrid tasks I love, but with a tablet optimized UI! If it only had a scrollable, re-sizable widget (even in the paid Power Pack) then it would be a home run.
Uni:
1. Supernote - greatest app. Just waiting for good stylus.
2. Polaris office - best office., and built in
3. Asus webstorage - 8gb for ever ever ever
ezPDF Reader for reading and annotating PDF (especially useful since my lecture notes come in PDF)
Kingsoft Office for reading and simple editing of Office files
Dropbox for sending project files across different devices

Camera - Capturing powerpoint slides so I don't have to take notes.
Jorte - Excellent calendar widget so I can keep on top of my assignments.
Currents - Helping me keep my sanity through long boring lectures by giving me interesting things to read.
No note taking apps or office software. Taking notes on a tablet will never compare to the feeling of pen on paper. Typing notes is just a big no.
I mainly just use my dock for god tier battery life and usb/sd... although I do type the occasional project on it.
AndSMB - Android Samba client
ezPDF - probably the best PDF reader
OneNote - still in infancy, but allows me access to all my notebooks; I find it useful when talking to my colleagues, when I want to show them some results - it is easier to do it on a tablet than on my rather heavy laptop
Repligo Reader
Dropbox
Repligo reader does a better job rendering pdfs that have been converted from Word files than does ezpdf. However, Repligo Reader still has some weaknesses. For example, every stickynote created in Repligo Reader has the author property "Repligo Reader." It does not allow the actual author to set the author property!
Dropbox is great for accessing the same version of my files across my desktop machine, my laptop, my prime, and my phone.
Evernote, Dropbox, and something to use Windows Remote Desktop (splashtop, VNC, etc.)

Quick office HD is supposed to be the best office app for android, but they haven't made it compatible with the Prime yet. Other than that you could just use Polaris to make drafts.
The google cloud print is also useful for printing to network printers, but the computers on the network need to have Chrome.
There is also Blackboard mobile learn if your uni uses blackboard.
I'm mainly just using my prime for doing drafts of assignments and recording lectures when I have an early lecture and cannot fight the urge to sleep. But stuff like formulate pro and the periodic tale app would be useful too. All my lecture slides are released in PDFs so the Adobe reader is useful.
Does anyone know of a way of printing to non-wireless network printers, not using a browser?

Quick Office HD work on the Prime if you buy it from Amazon Appstore
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.
Looking for help.
I personally use Moxier mail and love it... However, my company is now going to use S2's to distribute / receive corporate reports based on PDF.
I have been testing Moxier and Repligo and the internal Document Viewer on ICS/Jellybean. Both have a viewer option which displays the PDF "to fit"
i.e. Repligo - Flow Text
Android Document Viewer - Reader View
However, neither of these allow these views to be set as default meaning that when you view the report in PDF you have to either double tap to zoom or select the appropriate view mode.
I've tried Adobe, Document to go, Perfect Viewer, ezPDF, Beam Reader, qPDF, Office Suite, and Foxit and Repligo and the Android Document Viewer are best if they only had an option to set the default view.
Any thoughts???
Cheers
