Best way to view ipad iWork help offline?

I noticed that if I have my 3G turned off or dont have signal, I cant view the help items from the wrench menu because it goes to a web site, not local in the apps. I understand this, it keeps the help files updated easily.
But... I was trying to find a way to view the help files offline. I can find two answers right now and am wondering if anyone else has a better solution...
both involve visiting the help website while connected to internet first, olf course.
Method 1 starts on a desktop computer:
visit http://help.apple.com/iwork/1.3/safari/index.html#button-0 in safari
and click the button to print in the upper right hand side
print to PDF
send to ibooks on your ipad
Method 2 from the iPad:
Visit the help file from any of the iWork apps
Once fully loaded... "add to Home screen", add.
This can be visited while offline, you get a notice that it cannot connect to the internet, but it will (mostly) load.
Method 1 preserves everything (I think), Method 2 saves the whole help site to a link, but doesnt save graphics.
Any better methods?

Here's a free viewer that can be used for panos on ipads even though it's a product viewer ... you would need the beta one that actually works on ipads with zoom support http://www.webrotate360.com/360-product-viewer.html

  • Best way to view and edit OpenOffice files on my new iPad Mini (originally Word and Excel files). Thanks!

    Can someone tell me the best way to view and edit OpenOffice files on my new iPad Mini (originally Word and Excel files)? Thanks!

    wmf files is a MS Windows video file, you will need a tool to covert the wmf files to another file format OS X will read. Simply Google to find a converter you are interested in and use it.

  • Best way to view a panorama

    I was wondering what is the best way to view a panorama on the iPad?
    The panoramas are NOT 360 degree. It is created by a digital camera, one of those which has this newer built-in sweep panorama mode, where you hold the camera and turn, and it snaps photos and stitches them together for you in the camer itself. And of course you can hold the camera in portrait or landscape mode and you will get a panorama with different dimensions this way.
    So I import one of these panoramas into the default Photos app (after scaling it down in PS because obviously I don't need to see a 5000 something pixel wide pano on the iPad).
    Anyhow. I think the iPad's Photos app displays panoramas in a rather stupid way. First, it just shrinks the pano so it fits the whole display. Then, if I double click it, it zooms into the panorama like 3 times or so, completely blowing up the pixels.
    The only way I find is to zoom into the pano with two fingers, and then I can pan the photo left/right. I think this is rather lame way of doing it and was wondering if anyone has a better way to tackle this issue.
    I am NOT interested in purchasing programs for the iPad that creates/stitches panoramas together for me. I want to create the panos with my digital camera, edit them and then import it to the iPad, which results just a simple photo, albeit much longer width then height. I'm just looking for a better way of looking at them on the iPad other then that mediocre default Photos app.
    Thanks!

  • Best ways to view data, total records of an application table ie VBAK

    Hi all,
    What is the best way to view data of an application table in the source system?
    I know about SE16....but are there other ways to know details ie the total no of records and different field information about a
    application table ie VBAK in source R3?
    Also, using SE16 when i checked for VBAK and clicked on the "number of enteries" then it showed 0...however
    when i directly checked from the sqlplus then i found about 5000 records in there in VBAK. I am not sure why
    via SE16 it showed 0. Does anybody have any idea what i missed here?
    Thanks...will give points for ur input.
    ak

    I tried "number of enteried" on se16 and it shows 0 enteries without any selection criterion...i cheked by putting relevant time range as well but it shows 0...
    As i told that when i checked VBAK separately via logging to database directly then i did find 5678 rows there.
    Please note that this is a new demo version....so i thought that i first need to activate the table which i did using tcode SE11. Now the VBAK table is active but still via SE16 shows 0 nuber of enteris....
    Can anybody please advise here..
    Thx

  • Best way to view Text files from Mac on iPhone 4?

    What is the Best way to view Text files (loaded) from my Mac onto my iPhone 4?
    Will any of the "readers" (e.g. Kindle, Kobo) allow me to put my own text files onto my iPhone and read them easily?
    Thanks

    I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes.  I dislike the file sharing through iTunes.   You can use a Mac or PC.  Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer."  It will show this --
    "WiFi status: ON
    Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
    1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
    2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
    All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
    It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options.  You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file.  It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
    You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url.  I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does.  I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
    If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

  • Best way to view footage.

    Hi Everyone,
    If someone has Standard Definition PAL DV captured using a PAL easy setup, what is the best way to view it.
    It's FCP 6.0.5 running on a 24' iMac. Not sure of the processor but it's top spec.
    I have to ask because I get a bit confused with the whole 'what your watching it on' thing. This footage in particular will only be viewed on a computer or an LCD tv which, as far as I knew, are both non-square pixels. But purely for viewing/editing on the computer, is the native resolution the best it's going to get?
    Thanks,
    Double Ohh

    best is to view your footage while working is on an external broadcast monitor, but if you don't have that - connecting a TV through a camera is better than just working off your computer monitor.
    computer monitors are square pixels.
    for viewing on a computer native is as good as it gets (quicktime will compensate for the pixel aspect ratio)
    Viewing on a DVD is mpeg2, not PAL DV - you converted it during the dvd making process - either with compressor, dvdsp or idvd (etc.).

  • Best way to view PDF page(s) with in a custom program

    What is the best approach for viewing PDF page(s) in a custom program?  I know you can hook in Adobe PDF Viewer, but I need access to mouse clicks and location on the page.  As well, I need to control the scale and zooming of the PDF page(s).
    I'm not looking to change the PDF file, but rather draw over top of the page(s).
    Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction,
    Shayne

    Actually, Ive already implemented an interface after throughly reading all the Acrobat documentation on Javascript within the PDFs. Its functional but not spectacular. It simply uses the setField function to get and set the values to the Field objects. It do this by posting messages to and from the web page that is hosting the PDF object.
    I was wondering if there is a better way. It needs to stay a thin-client interface - nothing besides PDF Reader loaded on the workstations. I am currently investigating the several other methods but was hoping for some guidance.

  • Best way to author field level help for a CHM?

    Hi
    I have been asked to create an HTML help (CHM) system for a .Net application which will include context sensitive help at both page and field level.
    I have used map ids for page level help before - i.e. assigned a map id to topics and given this list to a developer for implementation, but I have never created field level help.
    I've been looking at the 'What's This?' help project wizard but am confused as to whether this is the best approach and how it fits with the project as a whole (or even if it compatible with .Net applications). Does this mean that I need two help projects for the application - one for the main help, and one for the field level help? Is there a way to create field level help without using the 'What's This?' wizard?
    I am using Robohelp 7.
    Any advice gratefully received!
    Chloe

    Hi, Chloe,
    As Peter notes, even Microsoft has backed away from using field-level Help in the last few years, so it may be worth trying to determine whether your users will benefit from having it available to them. That's not to say that you can't deliver field-level Help, however, as all the required methods for calling it are still available to .NET developers.
    To clarify, what Madcap Software calls "DotNet Help" is just a proprietary Help viewer that the company hopes will be more modern and appealing to writers than the older HTML Help (.chm) viewer. HTML Help remains the recommended format for Windows applications, whether .NET or not, and you can use any authoring tool that is capable of outputting a .chm file to create online Help for a .NET application.
    The method that your developers use to call field-level Help determines how it should be authored. If they use the standard .NET method (the SetHelpString method of the HelpProvider class), each text string is embedded in the application code itself, and not retrieved from your .chm file. More information here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.helpprovider.sethelpstring(VS .71).aspx
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821777
    http://helpware.net/mshelp2/demo2/h1xNET.htm
    Alternatively, developers can use the old HTML Help API to retrieve the text string from a .chm file. See:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670082(VS.85).aspx
    http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_whatsthis.htm
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317406
    The drawback of both methods is that the Help popups are plain text only — no graphics, text formatting, hyperlinks, etc. To work around this, some people use the third-party KeyHelp control to create feature-rich HTML popups. See:
    http://www.keyworks.net/keyhelp.htm
    This allows you to deliver the type of Help that you mentioned in your second message ("is there a way to do this so that these topics open in a small popup, without the TOC / tri-pane structure?").

  • Best ways to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

    What are best ways to display/view PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? thanks L

    Thanks tom, sorry let me explain. Currently we have oracle forms screen, using webutil to store/view files into DB. client won't like the interface, they want us to make it more friendly, drag and drop if possible, load multiple files, as possible.. So I am exploring different ways to improve may be java (or jdev/any any other), different screen designs, different features for fileupload/download/view options.

  • Best way to charge iPad mini

    What is the best way to charge my iPad mini ? When I play Internet games at the same time using FaceTime my battery drain fast is it normal ?

    The mini came with a 5W charger. If you are going to use the mini like you described, suggest you get a 12W charger like that for the iPad 3 & 4. The 12W charger should maintain your battery charge level.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Photos- best way to locate and manage (Help!)

    I moved to a Mac Pro with the idea that it would be a great computer and help me manage my tens of thousands of photos.  I tried to import my photos from an external drive and it failed multiple times.  I started using iPhoto and Picasa to manage new photos taken but when I went to send some to my family I couldn't find the ones I imported into iPhoto.  After a lot of trouble I realized iPhoto hides the files from you. So I think I exported them all and then I think maybe I found them and moved them to my master repository but then I found thousands of files in the trashcan that I couldn't locate either on my MAC or my external drive. I have no idea what is going on but I'm now very concerned that I've lost photos. I really resent iPhotos heavy handedness in photo management and thus don't want to move to it anymore- I might go back to a PC after this laptop because i can't find files in general and I think the learning curve is too great for me.  So my questions are:
    1. What is the best way to manage photos in the interim, while I still have a  MAC but the bulk of my photos are on an external drive?  Will the MAC let me save future pix directly to the external drive? Or should I do all photos through a PC
    2. Is there any way to expose the iPhoto files in finder?
    3. Has anyone use Picasa with success on a MAC? Am I right in thinking it only stores local photos if you edit them in Picasa? I am having a lot of trouble FINDING photos in Picasa- esp ones imported from my iPhone. It's nice that the mac imports "new" iPhone photos but I can't find them again so that is not so nice.
    4. Is there a duplicate detector people recommend? I have made a royal mess of my external hard drive of data as well as this MAC trying to import, find and recover pictures and data.
    I am extremely frustrated and i would appreciate any help.  I don't have a ton of time since I work full time and have three kids and I basically have done no photo sharing or editing in the 6 months I have had a mac because it's too confusing.
    Amy

    That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
    Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).
