Can anyone please tell me how I read documents on the TouchPro2 (I want to install some lengthy ancient scriptures) and what format they need to be in? Is there a Doc reader already installed or should I install a third aprty one, if so which?
I have few suggestions for you,
Isilo
Repligo
Foxit
Adobe Reader
DataWiz document reader
These are some of the best document readers as far as my experience goes. Google them, see which one fits your bill & thats it. Good Luck.

Adobe Reader good or not?
I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not. I've downloaded the texts I want to read, which are only available in pdf format. When I read them on the device with the ready-installed Adobe Reader, the text is too small to see. If I zoom in to get to a readable size, then the writing goes off the side of the screen, meaning I have to scroll left then right for every line. Am I missing something? Is there another reader for pdf which would allow me to edit the texts, or should I convert texts to another format, if so, which one? Sorry, but I'm new to this. Thanks for your help.
You can enable the reflow-option in the preinstalled adobe reader, so you don´t have to scroll back and forth. With a registry editor (if you don´t have one - get one!!) change HKCU>Software>Adobe>AdobeReaderLE2.5>EnableReflow from 0 to 1.
Now you´ll find the option in the adobe reader menu....
Thank you
Thank you so much michi123, just did it and it's fantastic. It's the first time I've used a Registry Editor. Wasn't too difficult but my gran couldn't do it and I wonder why such a basic need is so difficult to achieve. Anyway. I have the docs now which is great. But is there a better doc reader that allows some editing of pdf documents, with bookmarks etc for a better user experience? It is the main thing I want to use the TP2 for.
Is it possible to develop:
1. HomeBrew PDF viewer with sending PDF instead the Adobe's Reader ?
2. HomeBrew PDF sender which access to Isolated Storage of Adobe's Reader ?
Thanks for info.
1. Yes of course but it's really hard and complex task. Also, you can't assign your viewer as a default PDF viewer.
2. No for regular MP apps (you can't access someone else sandbox), but very possible for interop-unlocked handset.

question 1:
Yes, but I think is really difficult.
To associate PDF extension with your app you have to change registry keys on device (HKCR\.pdf sends you to HKCR\PDFFile that contains the appId to use to open pdfs), but on unlocked device only
question 2:
Yes, but on unlocked device only

Yes, that's why I wrote that I want HOMEBREW APP not official.
"You want" or "you want to write app"? If first - you may forget about it The only hope - if someone will port that project http://sourceforge.net/projects/clown/ to WP7 SL.
You can always replicate the existing adobe reader app, than by using reflector copy the code, than modify it according your needs.
The reading part is being done by some dll which you can use.
Now instead of rerouting the pdfs to a different folder just use the same app ID and overwrite the official app. Now all pdfs end up in your custom build pdf reader.
Good luck

If someone else will develop it.
Will someone develop it ?

or hoping that there is an usable user control in Adobe Reader's DLL
On unlocked devices the following could be done:
a homebrew app which syncs the isolated storage folder of the Adope Reader with the My Documents folder (manual sync and maybe a background task which syncs both folder in a predefined interval). This would give us the possibility to send .pdf´s via email or upload them to skydrive via the Office Hub.
Atm I copy my pdf´s with a filebrowser to the MyDocuments folder and all works fine but it would be nice to have an app which could make life easier.
I´m not able to write such an app but I know that it´s possible.

spavlin,
1. Do this apps allow to switch as be default PDF reader ?
2. Do this apps allow to send PDF files via email ?
If not both of them why do you put it here ?

Hi!
Just a sidenote:
Adobe Reader for WP7 sucks as it lacks the reflow option which is quite useful for reading documents on little displays. If someone starts to develop please keep in mind this function.
Regadrs,
Cina.

All those Marketplace apps are crap because they don´t replace the original pdf-reader.
Currently there is no app which can do what you want. The only solution is a homebrew app.

Yes, does somoone create homebrew pdf app which can:
1. Send Pdf via email
2. Be the default pdf app
Uhm, you could get the .xap of the original Adobe Reader app, and decompile it. Then you could add the functions you need to the officially app. It sould not be that complicated but some annoying work, I guess...
did you try the PDF Move app?

I'm a total noob as I'm brand new to Android and Play Store and whatnot with my purchase of the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014).
I'd like to import pdf or ppt into a program so I can use my stylus to annotate on them. From what I've read, apps such as S Note, Papyrus and Lecturenotes can do all of that. However, for whatever reason, I could never find the option to import the pdf or ppt in any of them. Can you please help a newbit out? Thanks very much!
@tandoru: As far as LectureNotes is concerned: LectureNotes cannot directly handle PDF, it needs a free helper app PDFView (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.pdfview or http://www.amazon.com/Acadoid-Developer-PDFView/dp/B00CPR4L6K/) to convert the PDF file to its own format. Restart LectureNotes after installation, then there will be additional menu entries and the PDF import settings will be accessible.
PPT needs to be converted to PDF first.
Thanks very much!! I'll give that a go!
Transferring Hard Copy to Tablet
I have a similar question. I recently purchased a galaxy note 10.1/2014. My goal is to transfer my lecture notes, currently in a big binder, to the tablet. The notes are hard copy text with script annotations on many of the pages. I assume that I either need to take pictures of each page, and convert them into pdf files, or scan them into pdf files. What is the best way to do all this and organize the notes into folders for each lecture – HandyCam, CamScanner, S-Notes, Evernote, Lecture Notes, etc? Beyond this, I would like to add images and videos, if possible. Can PDF files be inserted into any of these apps, which would then allow further stylus annotations?
@grossm: How to best scan your documents is mainly a question of how many pages we talk about. If you have only a handful pages, a camera scanner is certainly fine; if you have more than a dozen pages, consider to purchase a scanner device, as you do not need to manually adjust page boundaries; if you have a lot of pages, consider a professional scanning service, which is certainly the most convenient but also most expensive solution.
In all cases, you will have a PDF file at the end (or something that can be converted into a PDF file) and you can import the PDF file into the notebook.
Thanks. I've tried the Canon app - works pretty well.
I have the colornote app on my gs3 and regularly use this for notes. It automatically saves your notes to a backup file as a .dat file. This saves to my micro sd card; I have put these files on my Win7 pc yet nothing on my pc can open and view these files. I have tried notepad, wordpad, ms word, internet browsers, etc. When it opens in notepad it is just Chinese characters. I have tried opening the files in notepad and saving as a .doc or .txt and that doesn't work. I have scoured the internet and found no answers. I could easily copy and paste to my email, but I do not want my intellectual property out there (cautious privacy concerns).So my question is, is there any way I can view these .dat files on my pc, or any way to get my notes on my pc in a different format that will be readable? And if there is no way to do this what other note apps work well that save your notes as a doc or txt?Thanks for the input.
It's probably a data table. Try using excel. If you don't have excel, then try installing openoffice.org and open it as a spreadsheet.
