Storing and viewing powerpoint and pdf files on my ipod touch?

Dear All,
Do any experts out there know how I can easily store and view ppt & pdf files on my ipod touch 8GB?
I only need to view them.
I have read else where that you can copy them in to safari bookmark, but this can destabilise safari(?).
Is there a simple way I can just drag, drop and view?
Any free apps available especially for this purpose?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

Any free apps available especially for this purpose?

    Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf file on your ipod touch (5G)?

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • Can't move video and pix files back to iPod Touch from desktop computer

    I moved (via drag-and-drop in Windows) video and picture files from an iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to a Windows 7 desktop computer. I want to copy some of them back, but it won't let me drag-and-drop to copy them back to the iPod. How do I get the files back on the iPod? I know that the "disk mode" is not available on the Touch. Also, although the iPod shows up in iTunes on my desktop computer, these video and picture files (Quick Time Movies, JPEGs, etc.) don't show up there. So, I'm out of ideas. A related question: how do I scan the iPod using my Windows 7 desktop computer's anti-virus application (McAfee)? Normally, when I right-click on a device on the desktop computer, it offers me the ability to scan it for viruses. Not only does it not give me this option for the iPod; the iPod doesn't even show up as a hard drive; it shows up in the window as a separate "flavor" of drive. Is there a way to make Windows 7 think that the iPod Touch is just another USB-connected drive; i.e., is there a way to mimic the disk mode option that is available on other models of the iPod other than the Touch?

    - There is no way to scan the iPod for virus via a computer program. I know of no way to scan an iPod.

  • TS1702 iBook crashes opening a PDF file on my iPod touch.

    Any solution to the constant cashing if iBooks when trying to open a PDF file.
    I just want to save the file to my iPod and I don't care which app I should use.
    Trying iBooks and Adobe Reader. AR opens but how to save?
    Thanks.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete iBooks and reinstall
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Large PDF file (ebook) on ipod touch to read?

    I have a large pdf file (7.0 mb, 445 pages) that I want to be able to read (without killing my eyes) on my overseas flight. I added the file via an app called file magnet. But it ran low on memory and crashed. Plus the text was very small.
    I love the way ereader pro works but unsure if those books are in pdf format. Or if I can even add my own books?
    Is this idea even possible for me to do?
    I would be
    a) willing to reformat the document if need be.
    b) pay for an app that would allow this.
    and/or both...
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    There are several iPhone/iPod Touch apps that can read PDF files. However, the ones I have found to not re-flow the text (if you find one, let use know).
    While less than perfect, you can use the free desktop Stanza app
    <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/34623>
    to convert a PDF to an ePub format which can be read via the free iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app.
    The iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app can then change the font size, text color, background color, etc... And Stanza is a nice eBook reader.
    The iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app can download eBooks via several methods. From web sites that support Stanza (such as FictionWise, Project Gutenberg, etc..), from your own web server if you specify the link as stanza://path/to/ebook.epub, or you can enable the desktop Stanza -> Tools -> Enable Sharing, which will allow your iPhone/iPod Touch pull eBooks current displayed on the Stanza desktop into your the iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app.
    However, I will warn you that the PDF to ePub conversion leaves a lot to be desired, as a lot of formatting information is lost, but it is readable and you can most definitly change the font size and other font attributes.

  • How to transfer PDF files to an iPod touch

    How do I send a PDF file on my computer to my IPod Touch? To the IBooks application?

    Import/copy the PDF to the Books section of your iTunes library. If you do not have a Books section, it will be created when you import via iTunes>File>add to library. The sync to your iPod. Make sure that yo have the Books pane for the iPod configured to sync Books.

  • The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem.  If you boot into  Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files.  We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
    This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing.  Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

  • Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

    SUMMARY
    Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
    .chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
    only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
    PROBLEM
    1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
    sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
    where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
    2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
    3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
    sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
    placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
    4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
    5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
    hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
    6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
    topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
    7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
    8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
    DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
    9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
    a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
    appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
    file?”. The buttons that are available are
    “Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
    These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
    works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
    new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
    10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
    files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
    the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
    program event is played (the “Windows XP
    Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
    Other Notes:
    - The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
    “View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
    HTML project.
    - Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
    again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
    - A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
    (iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
    WORKAROUND
    Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
    hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
    following steps:
    1. Leave the .chm file open.
    2. Open Internet Explorer.
    3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
    4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
    the “General” tab.
    5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
    click the “Delete Files…” button.
    6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
    “Delete all offline content” and then click
    “OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
    Files” dialog box closes.
    7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
    Options” dialog box.
    8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
    the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
    will now work.

    “Shockwave Flash Object”.
    REQUEST FOR HELP
    I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
    their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
    solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
    want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
    Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

    You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

  • How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop

    How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop?  It seems to happen a lot after I've hooked my laptop to my Thunderbolt in my office and then I unhook my laptop to go present at a clients of taking my laptop home to work.  Every once in a while if even places all of my folders and PDF files in the far upper left corner of my screen.  Needless to say, having to constanly rearrange my desktop is extremly annoying and would love to know what the fix is for this problem.  Thank you in advance for any help offered!

    Thanks for the tip "baltwo", unfortunately my desktop settings were already set to NONE.  I've had one of my IT guys here this moring helping me look through all of this and we're at a wall trying to figure out why it's doing this.  This morning when I docked to the Thunderbolt all my folders and PDF files are in the upper lefthand corner stacked on top of each other almost out of view.  If I go to settings, displays, and swith to mirroring, all the folders and files go right back to where they're set up on my MacBook desktop, but I lose the ability to utilize the entire screen of the Thunderbolt.  Very frustrating to say the least and after searching through and reviewing several forums, Apple is very much aware of this issue and seems to be keeping silent on the issue.  Hoepfully they'll launch a fix soon!
    THANKS again for the tip, it's much appreciated!

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF files on my iphone?

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • Can I sync my microsoft word and PDF files on my palm?

    I am new to the Plam family and I have a question.  I use my Palm for bussiness as I'm sure most of us do, however can I sync my microsoft word and PDF files into my palm?
      I use contract all the time and I need to view a contract from time to time, I'm not sure how to sync these files on my palm... is the palm windows mobile?
    If I could get as much info as I can about this all the how to's that would be awesome!
    Thanks and I greatly aprecaite it!
    Paul
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Verizon Pre Plus runs a mobile operating system called HP/Palm webOS.  The current release is 1.4.5.  The phone can connect to a corporate Microsoft Exchange server.  When it does, it uses a sync technology called "Exchange Active Sync," but your phone does not run the Windows Mobile or Windows Phone operating system.
    Syncing Microsoft Office and PDF documents has been sort of an adventure since the Pre debuted over 18 months ago.
    DataViz, the makers of the Doc View application, was partially acquired by RIM, the makes of the BlackBerry, and have decided to not release a full version of Documents To Go for webOS devices.  Palm is working with the makers of QuickOffice to bring full Office document support to webOS in the future.
    For now, if you put Office documents and PDF files in the USB storage area of your Pre, Doc View or PDF will find them and allow you to view them on your Pre.  I put all of my documents in a folder simply called "Documents".
    If you connect the charging/sync cable to your Pre and then attach it to your Mac or Windows PC, you will be given a choice to turn on USB Drive mode.  When you do, you will be able to work with your Pre like you would a standard USB flash drive.  Eject the Pre from your PCs desktop when you are done and you should be all set.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I save the decuments and PDF file?

    How can I save decuments and PDF files?

    You first need an app on your iPad that supports the type of document that you want to store on it - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of word and excel documents).
    As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc. For iBooks you can add PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library and then sync them to the iBooks app via the Books tab. For Pages, Numbers and Keynote there is help here.
