Any Google drive saved PDF docs are accessible.
When I open a PDF, it opens in the tablet with Acrobat and I can see it immediately and use it, no problem.
When I tap on the right side I can access all PDFs by next tapping Top Left corner and I see a list of recent documents.
How do I wipe out this list as many of these documents are no longer on my google drive but are still shown on the Recent documents
Have clicked on Settings but no Trash Can displays.
Have also tried to Hold Down finger on one of the many items in Recent documents in the hope that a Delete would show, no such thing.

Perhaps by clearing the PDF app cache in the settings menu?
When I access Settings via tap on the bottom left side icon, no such item displays

Clear data for the related apps from settings -> applications manager
...and just to be clear... That's phone settings sphuyal is referring to, Not the settings in Acrobat.

1: Turn off the animated weather on the home screen. I don't want any wallpaper
2: Rename the favorites tab to Contacts, and remove the whole favorites screen. when I go to that tab, I want to see the screen you get if you hit the "all contacts" button in the lower left corner.
3: remove the "Add push internet page" links on the internet tab
4: remove the mail preview on the mail tab. when i go to that tab, I want to see my inbox as if I clicked the inbox link in the lower left corner
5: get the tasks on the home screen
It looks like you would need to modify the tabs to make this happen, is that possible? All the searching I have done only show ways to change the pictres or colors, not to actually get at the coding that drives the functionality of the tab. Some guy coded a calendar tab for an older verison of TouchFlo but never says how he actually did it or what langauge/IDE he used, so it looks like it is possible.
Also, is there a definitive list of all the "hidden" tabs that you can turn on (like Sound Settings, CommManager, etc)
I know you can use the trash can button while previewing the image you just took but after the preview period expires is what I'm referring to.
When your in the camera app and select the photo icon (bottom right) it takes you to your photos. While you are in this view there doesn't seem to be a way to delete images. When you hit the menu button in this view you have useful options like: vcast videos (not), set as, slideshow, select player, show on map and details.
Once the image has been saved it seem the only way to delete it is by opening the gallery app separately (5 or 6 button presses away).
It seems to be an oversight in my opinion.
Okay, I just discovered the error in my ways. A quick tap of the image while in this view will give you your options that menu key or long press would not. I'm a happier camper now.
I was wondering if anyone has discovered or knows of an app that will allow a document (word or pdf) to display as a widget or shortcut from the homescreen. Kinda like a mini binder. I have a bunch of schedules for work that I would like to display as a widget or something instead of having to open a viewer, search for the file, open and then close again.
I noticed two threads from 2012 with no answers; I'm hoping they were just forgotten about in the shuffle.

I just tried something on my 10.1 Tab Pro. In the "My Files" app, press down on a file until a marked checkbox appears. Then select the 3 dots menu on the top right. There is an option to "Add shortcut to home."
Unfortunately you can't select more than one file at a time though, you have to create the shortcut, then go back in and uncheck that one, and check another one, etc.
I'm trying to add a calendar using a link to my SGN4, and my google account. I have managed to do this on my laptop with thunderbird and lightning, but I can't find any info on how to do this with the phone.
I've been told to:
1. Logged into the website and went to "My Stuff" and select "Subscribe to Calendar".
2. Highlighted the link it gave me and copied it (ctrl-C).
3. Went to calendar.google.com, and on the left side clicked the down arrow with the box around it to the right of "Other calendars".
4. Selected "Add by URL" and pasted the copied link into the box and clicked "Add Calendar".
5. You should see the calendar show up under "Other calendars" now. You can edit it's appearance (color, name, etc.) by clicking the down arrow to the right of the new calendar which shows up when you mouse over it.
6. With your phone, go to your Calendar app and go to "Manage calandars". For my S6, this is under "More" in the top right corner.
7. Slide the slider to "On" next to the Webhost calendar and it should show up.
When I get to step 4, my google account does not give me the option to "add calendar by url", or at least I can't see it. My link is this, well similar:
https://www.x.org/iCalendar.aspx?xxxxxxxxxxxx
I replaced my personal info with xs. but the rest is accurate.
Any help is appreciated, as this seems like a task that should take about 5min, and it's taking forever
TIA

Which calendar app are you using?

Stock calender app that came with phone
No one can help me with this at all? My phone recently updated to 6.0.1, and I still can't add my calender, or sync all of them to the phone.

Did you try the Google Calendar app on the Play Store? That's what I use and have no problem at all.
That's the calender app I have iirc.
If do a search and find a picture I want, then long-press it, and click "Download image", it downloads successfully but I can't find it anywhere with Solid Explorer or Google Photo. That said, if I go to the "Files" application it is right there when I open the application and the info bar at the top of the screen says "Downloads" and there is also a "docs" folder and all the other pictures I have done this with in the past.
I often do this to share them to Facebook or in a chat, but in order to use them I have to search and download, open Files, and use that to move it to Pictures or some other folder I know where it is, and then go back to the application and use it to upload the file by it opening Photo (the Gallery app).
Where are these downloads going that Solid Explorer or Photo can't find them?
BTW, I am not rooted.
Go into Google Photos, select the hamburger menu on the upper left, and choose device folders. You should be able to see from there where your pictures were dropped. If you open the folder, there's a toggle switch to sync it with Google Photos.

Yeah, I understand completely... But the folder isn't there.
I've had this exact same issue. I've resorted to taking a screen shot and cropping it.

Glad I'm not crazy... I think I'm pretty good with Android and just tech in general, and it just stumps me on this one.

I looked for fun and when I clicked the download notification and opened it in Google Photos it says it's in the folder /documents which doesn't exist ?
Anyway to save the photo I just clicked the share button in Google Photos and shared it to Solid Explorer and chose a location to save it.
