Any Ideas on Apps to Transfer PDF collections?

Greetings,
I have a bunch of PDF files I would like to distribute to Field Staff.  Many of the PDF files are organized together in subject matter.  Is there anyway I can "pre-configure" and organize this PDF collection in a single file then have the field staff download from my company server? Then, when they would transfer to their iPad, the PDF's would still retain the pre-configured organization.  Similar to a comic book reader app (like comiczeal), I want them to have the collections by subject matter all ready to go for them when they open the application to read them.  No way they can import hundreds and then it is up to them to organize.  Obviously a free app would be best.
Thanks in advance!

I can't answer this very well for iPad in the Enterprise but for my personal collection of PDFs, here is something I do:
iBooks syncs PDFs from iTunes. IBooks will let you sort PDFs by category, just like it does books. The categories are the genres you give to the PDF files in iTunes. The default genre for PDFs is an empty field so normally there are no categories for PDFs but you can create whatever genres you desire for them. If you select a bunch of them and "get info" you can change the whole bunch at the same time. These genres will give you one level of organization in iBooks, and then it is alphabetical within each category.
One note, though: I have noticed that if I have already synced a book and then I change the genre in iTunes, it won't sync that genre change to my iPad. I have to unsync the book(s) then re-sync them.
Actually, one more note: As far as I can tell there is no way to collapse a category in iBooks to hide all the PDFs underneath of it. A list of hundreds of PDFs might require some scrolling to get to the categories near the end.
Maybe something in there will lead you to a simple and free solution for your staff to sync PDFs.

    Don't know what "the apps" are; they won't happen all at once. It will happen for an individual application when the developer chooses to make a new version available.

  • Any ideas creating app to read log file when updated?

    Afternoon all,
    I have been asked to write a java app which will read the contents of the server log file every time the log file is updated by the server. The app will be deployed onto WebSphere Application Server.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction as I have never written anything like this before and I don't know where to start. Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    A.

    I agree with most of what you've said but unfortunately I don't have a say in what the company wants. However, I am interested in the appender idea, perhaps they may go for that if I suggest it.I'd say it'll take you a day to read up about Log4J and how to write basic appenders, and another day to write your own appender for this problem. Compare that to the effort of writing something to poll a log file, re-read it constantly and update another file, operations which will get slower and slower as they go along. That's a fair amount more code than a single appender would be. There's how to sell it to your company.
    Can you give me a brief overview in how it works?Log4J uses objects called appenders, which take logging info - generated by your container - and do something with it. It ships with some appenders already in it, for writing to stdout, files, sockets and databases. You can also write your own appenders that do something more than these standard ones do. You write logging code in your application - in this case, your container already does this so you don't have to - and the configuration of Log4J decides what happens to these logging messages. That's what you're interested in. You could write an appender - a simple class - that takes raw logging messages in, and writes them out to file in whatever format you want
    Come to think of it, depending on how complex the required XML is, you may even be able to do this without writing any code at all. You can write formatting patterns in the Log4J config that existing file appenders will use to write your XML files
    A bit of an abstract explanation, I guess. Your best bet is to first ascertain that Log4J is indeed in use, and then read the documentation, which is surprisingly good for an Apache project :-)

  • Have a new iphone 5S and music won't play when headphones are plugged in. Restored the phone and tried again without restoring my info.  Any ideas on apps that cause this?

    I just purchased a new iphone 5s and music would not play on it with headphones plugged in.  They replaced the phone for me but it continued to do this.  So I restored the phone and tried to play music on youtube before I restored all my settings and apps....Any suggestions on common apps that may cause this?

    We have tried 3 different brands of headphones, including the apple set and auxiliary audio cord.
    Also, music works fine before I load all my apps, hence why I ask if anyone knows about any kind of certain apps causing this.

  • "apps" menu - transfer pdf's

    I'm lost - before there was an "apps" menu, I could click on this and the apps appeared, and this would allow me to add, for example, pdf's from my PC to the iPad, and also remove them. For instance, in Adobe or Bluebeam app, a screen would appear in which I could add or delete pdf documents - then on my iPad I could open these documents within that app on the iPad - I don't see this anymore.  Now, the apps icons appear (I'm referring to my PC) but there are no options like before to add documents from PC to iPad or to delete docs from iPad - help, someone!!

    I checked that, and it is OK.  It seems more like the whole iTunes 11 setup is different than it had been.  I've attached a screenshot showing the screens that now appear with iTunes

  • Any one any idea when App Store will be back online?

    I can see my updates, I can see my purchases but Categories , Top Charts and Featured are all offline, have been all afternoon.
    My 30MB downloa dis working fine.
    Mind you Keynote, Numbers. Pages all crash when trying to open anything in the cloud and now 1Password just stalls on open.
    I guess they are all cloud issues.
    Pretty sure it is not local, did a complete OS rebuild this morning - iMac flakey since upgrading to Mavericks think it is to do with my fingerprint scanner

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • How do I transfer PDF's in iBook from one device to another?

    Backed up old iPad 2 on Mac. Restored to new iPad 2. At first all iBook books and saved PDF collection in iBook was there for maybe 5 seconds. The PDF's suddenly disappeared, while the books are still there! Can't see PDF's, although they are still in iBook on the old iPad 2! Any ideas appreciated.

    I see the PDF files in the books tab of iTunes. The PDFs were not visible in the books tab of my device.
    The sync directions said to click on the books tab. I selected the PDF button. I selected all the PDFs.
    I opened sync my iPad.under files/devices and clicked on "my iPad".
    The progress bar rapidly went through 1,2,3 of something appearing to be doing what I wanted but no files transferred.
    I repeated the above several times.
    Those were the directions under help for ios7.02
    What did I do incorrectly?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha
