Is there a PDF Viewer that can swipe between pages?

I'm a working musician and I had high hopes for the iPad that I might be able to have music Pdf charts that I could read on gigs.
For this to really work, I need to have a PDF App that can use the hand swipe method of moving between pages.I tried the PDF Reader Pro app and for reading Pdf's, it is fine, but it has only a tiny arrow touch-link that scrolls the page and It's impossible to go for that while I'm playing on a gig.
Am I guilty of purely wishful thinking here, or would an app like this violate Apple's protections against moving cross-platform, since it would have to access Apple's touch sensitive technology?
Thanks for any tips,
Frank Bright

I thought I'd reply on this since I've since had time to really try Good Reader out as a music chart reading program. It seems to have all the ingredients for reading music charts well, but for me it does NOT fly, not when really using it while you're playing an instrument.
The organization is all very well done and good - pages are well defined and separated. But trying to turn pages with ANY consistency while playing an instrument - in my case, piano - is IMPOSSIBLE.
Note: when one tries this out just sitting in a chair, it performs flawlessly. You may wonder "What was he talking about? This is easy!" And I've tried all methods -tapping the corners, the bottom middle tap, and the full swipe method. It all comes down to this:
Executing the tap or swipe successfully requires a certain deliberateness or focus in your finger touch - a focus that is easy enough to summon when you're doing nothing else. But this focus, at least to me, is simply not accessible when I'm playing the piano and reaching in quick desperation to make sure the page gets turned in time. It's just not there for me anyways, and I predict that some might be able to do it, but I doubt even those few will feel any consistency in the results.
I have since discovered the Music Reader App and am currently trying that one. The App is free, but to work with charts and convert them on your computer requires that you purchase a program.
Thanks - and I hope this helps someone,....Frank

  • PDF viewer that can take advantage of the beamer class option \second

    Hi,
    from the LaTeX beamer class users guide:
    You will have to find out for yourself whether your display program and system support showing superwise presentations stretching over two screens.
    Anyone know, what pdf reader can handle such presentations that use the mode \second ? E.g. in Okular I couldn't find this option.

  • Swipe between pages with three-fingers MacBook Pro

    Hello,

    Try this. Start in safe mode. See if there is a problem and report back.

  • Is there a tool available that can be executed by another process to scale the actual size of a PDF?

    Is there a tool available that can be executed by another process to scale the actual size of the printed PDF file by X%?  We are attaching PDF files to printed output using the Oracle DocuMaker product, and are running into margin issues with the attached PDF.  We need to keep a 3/4 inch margin on our pages for sorting/finishing equipment, and the attached PDFs do not all conform to our margin requirements.

  • Is there a format for at PDF form that can be filled out, saved locally and edited continually afterwards?

    hello
    on the html-based form http://www.samtaleterapi.com/oversigter/psykoterapi.html there isnt the functionality i want
    it can only be filled out and printed
    what i want is a form that can be filled out, saved locally on people's own computers, and  and that the local copy can be edited and saved anew continually
    can PDF do this?
    can the end users edit and save the form with no other program than adobe reader?
    if so, is this a specific format of PDF?
    and if so, how do i create it?
    thanks
    rasmus

    You can indeed create a PDF form that can be opened, filled out and saved by users of Adobe Reader. It simply requires one of the later versions of Adobe Acrobat. It has a function to enable this ability in PDF's.
    The one down side is that there are usage limits (how many times form data can be collected) that you would want to familiarize yourself with in advance to be sure you don't violate the EULA. Exactly how thos limitations work are up to interpretation...

  • Is there a limit to custom views that can be created on a list?

    As the title says, is there a limit to the number of custom views that can be created on a SharePoint list?  I did a few online searches and someone mentioned 50, but one of my list already has more then 50 custom views so I'd like to know what the
    true limit is.
    Anyone know?

    The only hard limit is to the number of views that can be shown in the drop down on the UI which is 50 (first 50 actually). I would agree with the assessment made here that the actual limit might be hypothetical but it all comes down to the performance in
    rendering and retrieving these views.
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/8a0f9d4a-626a-4a54-916a-a1e347835c5e/what-is-the-limit-if-there-is-one-on-the-amount-of-views-that-can-be-on-a-single-sharepoint-list?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    I would suggest re looking at your approach to address the requirement by creating these many views and whether something else (dynamic pages, metadata navigation, term navigation, content search web parts etc.) can address the actual requirement
    and in process actually improve page performance.

  • PDF application that can copy and paste

    Hi, is there a PDF reader that I can use to read iBooks and then be able to copy and paste certain sections? I have PDF reader pro but it does not have the copy/paste feature and I'm not able to find anything else suitable. Please can you advise?
    Thank you.

    I have GoodReader on my iPad. It's a great app but unfortunately will not let you copy a PDF page in its original format - you have to use the Text Reflow option, which extracts text from the page and then copy the entire page.
    I too am looking for an App that will allow me to copy the actual page but so far have not been able to find one. If anyone knows of such an app, please do let us know...

  • Can I make a PDF form that can be filled/saved in Illustrator/InDesign without Acrobat Pro?

    Can I make a PDF form that can be filled out and (more importantly saved) in Illustrator or InDesign without having to use Adobe Acrobat Pro?
    I only have Adobe Reader XI. Do I need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to make a PDF form that can be filled out and saved by others? or is it possible to do this solely through Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Adobe Reader?

    InDesign can export to a filable form, assuming you add the fields in InDesign (6/CC) and export as an interactive PDF. You can't create a form with Reader or Illustrator. You also can't Reader-enable with anything other than Acrobat, so Reader users will have to use version 11 in order to save a filled-in form.

  • Is there a security software that can be downloaded to the IPhone?

    Is there a security software that can be downloaded to the IPhone?  My insurance agent has warned me of an activity called "smishing" which can harness personal and financia info.

    Did you make any effort to discover what he was talking about with smishing?
    It is a contraction of sMS phishing.
    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMiShing
    As you can see this is first of a text messaging based social engineering technique that attempt to get you to bite on a false statement to allow them entry in your ohone. On top of which as Razmee209 says you don't have to worry about unless your phone is jailbroken. A non-jailbroken iPhone will not be effect if you are suckered into the bite of the attack.
