Hi Guys,
Done a search and cant find any info for this.
I'm trying to justify keeping the nexus One, and getting rid of my HD2, but one big issue I have is that the Nexus will not open password protected PDF files (or i cant make it happen) like the HD2 can.
It is very important for me, as a lot of my customer orders are sent via Password protected PDF file.
I have tried a few of the PDF readers on the market, but cant find one to open them.
Any ideas?
Cheers

"Nexus will not open password protected PDF files (or i cant make it happen) like the HD2 can."
How in the world did you get your HD2 to open a password protected PDF file. I have them for schoool and am frustrated by the fact that I have not been able to get into mine. Please share your process.

Excuse me for the imperfect english...
Exists a program (possibly free) that it allows to block access to one determined folder where I can only approach I.? Thanks.
Your question isn't really clear, however if you want to access folders, there's a built in file explorer that you can use.
Maybe you're after some sought of security app, which password protects certain folders which you want protecting? If that's the case, can anybody help? Sorry but i do not know of any...
I think he is asking for a program that password protects folders so that only he can access them.
Simply Google for encryption software for Pocket PC's. There are loads of them for sale and some are even freeware.
Is there a Way to make a Offline Wikipedia?
I didnt found just online Wikis but no offline?
Put the Wiki on the SD and open with a App?
Hope someone can help me!
I would imagine that it would take quite a lot of space to put the entire wiki database on an SD card. Hundreds of gigs.
ther eis an app for winmo
that does that....
it has 2 versions, one you buy with no updates
and the other one you buy and have unlimited updates...
the website has a mailing list to be notified when it will eb avail for android...
however i dont remember either the name or the website .... i did sign up for the newsletter though...
There's a handful for ipods and a few hacks for other devices. Basically you need two thing: the static HTML files and an HTML viewer.
There's some static DLs here, I can't grab these at work though. anyone want to test chucking one on their SD and seeing if Astro or Linda will open them in a browser?
If the HTML files are available, or if someone can grab the ipod files, I'm sure there's some dev on here smart enough to get a reader working.
EDIT: looks like XML files might be the best way to go. Just need an app to parse it.

Hi
Does anyone know how to store documents and PDFs to the HD7? I can create documents on the phone but not transfer anything from my old HD2.
People on other threads mentioned skydrive, but I can only find an option to load photos there.
We need Dropbox !
I think for now the only way to work with the storage of docs is via SharePoint

I was wondering how to go about doing this myself!
I little testing later and here are some options that worked:
Ahem!emailthemtoyourselfAhem! This does work and you can save the files to your phone after downloading the attachments (by default the attachments weren't download when the email was synced).
How WP7 does this is quite different to Windows desktop or Windows Mobile 6.5. Clicking on the attachment in the email will only open it; a long press does nothing. If it's a word file, there is then there is the option to 'save as' which allows you to modify the file name should you wish but only allows you to save to 'Office Hub'. Once you do this, the file is added to the second pivot list or column in the Office Hub (‘Documents’).
Note: Adding further office files such that the list will no longer fit on the screen will make the list vertically scrollable.
Skydrive and Office Live seem to be fully functional using the included WP7 IE browser. I was able to browse through my Skydrive files and folders and was even able to create and edit a new word document - all from within the browser.
Downloading an individual file takes a bit of careful finger work – just clicking on it automatically opens the file or folder but if you long press (which brings up the ‘open in new tab/share’ dialogue) and then click again in an empty part of the screen to hide the popup again, it will only highlight the file (as mousing over would do on the PC). This then allows you to select the more > download options.
The best and least pain free option for transferring files from Skydrive is to simply put everything you want on your phone in one Skydrive folder and use the ‘download folder as zip’ option. This method allows you to then open and save each individual file in the zip to the Office Hub. The limitation of this method is that the zip file doesn’t appear to be saved locally – it appears to open in the browser and only lets you open each file individually.
Note: It looks like currently there is no way to ‘save’ a pdf file on the device apart from as a downloaded email attachment. Hmm, not ideal if you like looking at large pdfs!
Each WP7 app has it's own isolated storage area. Unfortauntely, apps cannot acccess storage space belonging to other apps. The only exception here so far seems to be the Pictures storage; many apps can read and write to this.
I would expect in future OS updates we will have better access to shared storage areas (well hopefully).
The solution I've been using for now is Dropbox. I upload my PDF files there, then navigate to http://m.dropbox.com in IE. Use your WiFi of course. When you tap on a file in your dropbox it will open in Adobe Reader.
Later on, if you open Adobe Reader from the app list then you will have access to previously downloaded PDFs. Simples!
In the next software update they are going to bring skydrive into the office app.
Has there been any advancements yet?
It does seem silly that I don't have a documents folder or indeed that WP7 doesn't mirror my computer architecture.
Am uploading my PDF's to drop box, once i've accessed and opened them from my phone, am I then able to save them on to the storage card?
How the hell do I get a PDF on to my HD7?
I've tried emailing it to myself. I see it in hotmail, but every single time I attempt to download it, it fails.
I tried Dropbox. I see it in the browser, but no option to save.
I uploaded it to Skydrive, again, I see it but no option to save, only 'open in new tab' and 'share'.
This is utterly ridiculous, only MS could take a task as simple as saving a PDF to a device and turn it into a nightmare.
I'm usually quite apt with computers, this has me completely stumped though.
Are you sure the PDF file is not corrupt? Do you even have Adobe Reader installed?
Picking a random smallish PDF file:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf
Entering that into IE on the phone downloads it, and offers the option to view it.
Having viewed it, it now appears in the Adobe Reader app. Long press on the filename gives me the option to delete it.
The same goes for skydrive (accessed through IE), and if I email the PDF file to myself.
Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitation, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Cheers

Brilliant. I shall have to try this.
I'm really thinking of buying an HD7, but im stuck in between a dell streak.
Im using it to replace my cruddy netbook so i'll be luggin a bluetooth keyboard around.
The dell streak can connect with a bluetooth keyboard but can an HD7 do that? cuz it will otherwise be perfect for word processing with the kickstand and office.
You pose a good question but at this early stage it's like comparing apples to oranges. The HD7 right now is just a phone, literally. The Dell streak is really a tablet and full featured.
There are a million threads all over the forum about pro's and con's of the HD7. I would suggest glancing through those threads to see if any of the attributes apply to you.
How about you wait for gingerbread tablets coming out next year or maybe a honeycomb one t0o

You should also check how easy it will be to get the Word document on/off the phone. From what I read the document has to be upload to your Skydrive account first. And the mobile Skydrive page loaded in IE, not the Office hub, from where the Word document is opened. And, I may be wrong, any edits are NOT saved back to Skydrive. I'm sure I read this but hope I'm wrong.
I'm guessing editing documents will be a lot easier on Android as you'll have direct / easier access to your Google Docs.

microsoft have moved my Live office to skydrive, so now all my office live documents will be saved in my skydrive now...
Does anyone know a good app I can download view and edit Excel or Word files on? I have tried:
OfficeSuite
E-cell xls
Word To Go
I have attached a copy of the Excel file I am trying to manipulate on the G-Tab. I am able to open, view, and edit the file (well sort of edit). If you view the file file via Excel on you computer you will see it has "check boxes" but I am not able to see them on any of the above mentioned apps. Does anyone know of an app that I can do this with?
The form is being created for use in a physicians' clinic, to help avoid the the clutter of paper and eligible writing.
I was not able to upload (size limit) the Word file I want to be able to edit. But this file is filled with "drop down" menus which do not show up when opened on the G Tab.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dave
That Excel sheet is full of Windows Forms controls. Since those are ActiveX controls I doubt *very* seriously you are going to find any programs on the G Tablet that will allow this file to work correctly. ActiveX, if you aren't familiar with it, is extremely Windows-centric. And at this point, fairly out dated.
