We are receiving many phone calls each week from counsel excited about receiving PDF files because they have an iPad. The next inquiry is, “How do I get the files onto my iPad?”
Fortunately for the end user, there are many ways to access the file(s).
- E-mail – If you have e-mail on your iPad, e-mail the PDF file as an attachment. Click on the attachment and the PDF file will load.
- Dropbox – As long as the APP is loaded onto the device and you have access to the Internet, the PDF file will be accessible whenever/wherever counsel may be. This is the BEST way to download a file.
- Direct connect the iPad to your computer with the USB cable provided by Apple and transfer the file through iTunes software.
Recommended APPS to make this all possible:
- Dropbox (free) – get all of your files from anywhere, any place and on any computer or device you have access to. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8
- PDF Reader ($0.99) – a simple PDF reader that lets you read an ADOBE PDF file. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-reader-pro/id300298606?mt=8
- iAnnotate ($9.99) – Allows you to read and ANNOTATE a PDF file. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iannotate-pdf/id363998953?mt=8
We find that the Page Image PDF is the file that works best as the text is big, clean and looks just like a transcript page.
