I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting here but how's this?
Create an invoice template in Word format on computer.
Copy it to the phone.
Use Polaris Office to edit the template and create individual invoices.
You can then use the app below to create PDF files from your Word invoice. I've not tried the app myself so no promises.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.thinkti.android.wordtopdf

wordtopdf requires internet connection to convertion to pdf
You can try "Smart Office 2" it seem it do not require internet connection.

There are actual invoicing apps on Play that allow you to design, create, and track your invoices.

Thanks guys for your reply's....
what it is, is that i have a invoice template which is saved on my computer, and every sunday i need to fill it in and e-mail it to people.
but at the moment, its just a microsoft work document, can i simply transfer that to my phone? and will i be able to open it up on my phone and fill it out? then send it via email?

Yeah, no problem to just edit and email a Word doc with Polaris Office.

i've just tried the polaris office, copied my invoice template across from my computer to my phone, then went into my GMail, went to 'attach' and my only option is camera or screen capture.
so how do i get my invoice?
ignore that last message, just noticed i have to send it via polaris.
thanks alot guys, think i got it sorted now.

No worries. Glad you're sorted.

I know this is a long shot BUT......
is there a way i can keep my invoices which i'll be filling out on my note, synchronised with the computer, so i can keep track on either computer or phone?

Best option would be to use dropbox ( if cloud storage is ok ) to sync with pc . Nothing syncs better. U can also get dropsync app to have physical copies of the files in a specific folder in the phone.
If u dont like ur files to be in cloud, u can use a wifi file syncing app like cheetah sync

If you use dropbox on your computer and your note then you can synchronize the folder containing the invoices.

Dropbox is fab. There are phone and pc apps. Put your invoices in the folders and the sync from one to the other.
If you use this link http://db.tt/APjkjZp I get a bit more storage

Sorry, bit slow there.

Cheers guys i totally forgot about dropbox,

You can use google drive also. Sync time is quite faster.

Logging program

Is there any program available that could sort of be used as a keylogger? Today a friend took my phone and texted someone but deleted the Sent message then deleted the text from the Deleted Items folder. I know it's too late to find out what he sent but I want something for the future. I also want to know if there is anything that would log general activity of the phone like programs being opened, what was looked at, etc etc.
Thanks.
So you basically want to be nosy and read what text your "friend" sent. You're a good friend. How about some privacy geez. If he deleted it obviously he didn't want you to read it. Don't worry it wasn't a virus..lol...this post is sad.

I'm not necessarily being nosy, I just want to know what HE sent from MY phone. But besides from the text, I still want to know if there is any logging program to monitor what my device does.
Well If you are worried about what he sent from YOUR phone. Don't let anyone use your phone.

You don't always get a choice.
If you are an O2 UK customer (it doesn't say on your profile), there's something called bluebook ( http://bluebook.o2.co.uk ) which keeps copies of every SMS and MMS you send and recieve. I use it to keep copies of stuff in case my phone breaks and I wrote a PHP script that page scrapes so I can do SMS & MMS to web... but I guess you can use it to see what other people send from your phone if it is a persistent problem.
Bluebook is free and was free to sign up if you joined during the beta. It might now cost £5 to sign up if it is out of beta.
If you are not with O2 UK, you might find your service provider has something similar.
Hope that helps.

Future Dial Suite (that came with my zio)

I'm not sure if this question belongs hear, but I am having a frickin' hard time trying to get my zio to connect to the "future dial suite" software disk thing that came with my zio. Its worked before, but now, no matter how I've tried, it won't connect anymore. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or of something Im not aware of?

Wanted to ask you when did you start having this problem? Did you upgrade your OS from 1.6 to 2.2.1? If you did, did you notice if that was when you started having your trouble? Did you update any of the drivers for you pc to reconize your phone to the newest 1s?
"I'm so broke I can't even buy time!!!"
Yes I did update it. And I know for sure I've used the Future Dial since. Usually I always gota uninstall the software and drivers then reinstall and it'd work. Its not "rooted" or whatever its called. Any help would be appreciated.

"Now I'm so broke I can't even pay attention!!"
Are you using windows 7? Also, did you check to see if any firewalls or antivirus progams you may be running are blocking the driver? Check them to see. Also you might want to try uninstalling future dial again but this time completely clean it from you pc. Registry included if you know how to do so without wiping the wrong data out.
When installing it again, right click on the instal file, goto properties, then click the compatibility tab and check the box at the bottom to run the instal as an Administrator. When in the properties of the instal make sure its unblocked. Windows 7 has a tendacy to block certain instal files. If it is blocked you will see it at the bottom of the general tab once properties is open for the file.
Also, once you've done that, then right click the instal file again and click the "run as adminastrator" option in the drop down window. Hope this helped m8. Another thing you can try is plugging your phone into your pc through another usb port so your pc will try and reinstal the drivers for the phone.
Wow! I lost u at ARE U RUNNING WINDOWS 7. I have no idea, I bought my pc bran-new in the box and at that time it said windows vista on the box and on that tower thing where u plug everything into and put disc's in. Iv had future dial working before and every 2-3months id export my contacts and print em incase I lost my phone, and every time tried using it id have to uninstall and reinstall and did the same process every time with no problem. This time, trying the same process, nothin. Feel like just pouring water in that tower and putting this zio in a vise as tight as I can. I appreciate any and all help, but it ain't a big enough deal to waist anybody's time. I just thought it'd be a quick fix or a simple step I wasn't doing.

You can always set up your google account to sync your contacts online. That way you'll never lose them.
I was just about to suggest that to him Spz0. I just got this message noticed you beat me to the chase. lol
Ok itrustno1, Like Spz0 said, you can use your phones google account to sync all your contacts. If you goto your gmail account online you can find your contacts list on the left side pane in Internet Explorer window towards the top. Once you click on "Contacts" Internet Explorer will load the page with all your synced contacts. From there you can click on the "More Actions" button at the top of your contacts list, you will see in the drop down list "Import", "Export" ect. Click on the Export to Export your contacts to you computer. Should pop a box up asking where do you want them saved to. Pick a easy location as to where you may want to save them. Desktop is a good choice then you can find them easy enough and move the folder wherever you need or want.
As for you Operating System, your most likely running Windows Vista if thats what your pc came with. Not much different then running windows 7 the next OS up from Vista. Vista is a resorce hog though.
So you know, I have future dial on my pc and i'm running windows 7, I personally don't like using Future Dial cause it was too much a pain to do. I had simular problems as yourself.
Hope Spz0 and I were able to help. If not you can contact me using [email protected] and during this weekend maybe I can walk you through a few things you can try to get future dial working again for you. I won't make any promises as to whether or not I can fix the problem. Its usually easier for me to be infront of the pc i'm working on so i can see exactly whats going on to try and fix the problem.

2 PDFs open at the same time and bluetooth?

Hey all!
I've had the tab for a while and its pretty much been with me for UNI alot more than my laptop.
I don't do much word processing, but alot of PDF reading. Sometimes I'd need to have 2-3 PDFs open (e.g one is the assignment question and one is reference). It's a real hassle having to open and close a PDF and also scroll back to were I was before.
I've read the Notion ink has "panels" where things are open at the same time... but that is a whole ROM thing. Any ideas?
Also, having seen the HP touchpad and pre phones, that "tap to share" feature is cool. I know its more a hardware thing, but I also know there is an app called bump which sends pics via bumping the devices.
Thing is, you need to be online for that. I'd usually tether my phone so that my tab has internet, but is there an equivalent using bluetooth? Bump to send anything would be nice!
Thanks in advance!

No problem.
Don't think there's an app on android as of yet on reading 2 PDF's at the same time, think there's a one in the Appstore (kno) but obviously that won't work on the Galaxy tab or any other android devices.

Well you can use 2 different pdf readers, and you can switch with the home button, by long pressing then chose the reader.
Hope it helps.

I actually just thought of that today too! I had repligo reader open and thought i might be able to open another PDF in adobe
I haven't exactly tried it, but I'll be back to report
I don't know if it will directly help or not, but there are apps that let you tether through Bluetooth. If I am not mistaken, PDAnet is one such app.

Pro Tip: already have a free box.net/box.com account? Users report that when you download the app and install after the build.prop mod you are upgraded to 50gbs.
Pro Tip 2: box.net charges for their desktop sync app. BUT...... Use SocialFolders to sync files from box.net and other online content sites (facebook, youtube, google docs, picasa and more) to your desktop. Please use this referral link to signup: https://socialfolders.me/r/rhn7e

agreed, but the service Social Folders puts us in the ballpark. honestly, i jump on all of these that i can looking for that holy grail. i have about 3GB free on dropbox, minus.com i think starts at 10GB free as standard which I have, but again, no desktop auto sync app, and now 50GB on box.net. guess i'm hoping box changes their deals at some point and gives the app away, or a comparable 3rd party app does it right. social folders is very close though, signup off the link in the op and check it out!
a couple of hours ago i used this on my nexus s and it worked ^^ thanks
if you dont want use this mod, you can log your account on lg or htc device and then you can use your 50gb on all device
This is awesome, gonna try it right away!
Worked great on Nexus S (ICS)
Desktop sync would be nice but for sync on mobile I use FolderSync. Saved me on my last device when my SD card gave out

Samsung Notes problem

Hi, I've been having problems with Samsung Notes sharing, I was wondering if anyone knew where the actual notes are located so that when I can't share one to my compuer (which I never can) I can at least grab a copy from there. I tried looking but I couldn't find anything
Did you know that you can hold the s-pen button, double tap on the screen(unlocked), and it will open a new blank note? I have disabled the auto open air menu because of that, its so handy
To answer your question.. no clue.

The only thing you can do is share notes in PDF format to, say, your Dropbox account and view them from there. The notes directory cannot be accessed without root, and even then I'm not sure there is any PC app that can read the format.
I know it's not ideal, but you do a screen capture and then transfer the picture/screen capture

The problem happens exactly when I press on PDF, even sharking the Image would be fine for me but I can do neither. If I try to share the pdf it gets stuck in an infinite loading screen. Same with image. If I try text only then nothing happens. Only thing I can do is sdoc which well isn't really very useful and I've noticed that if I try to open some of them I get a "corrupted" message
