Hi everyone, I thank you in advance for helping me on this matter:
I recently switched to HTC DHD from E71, and I have a big problem with viewing the attached file with DHD. Standard viewer and QuickOffice won't even open it, and the other solutions that I came across if they can open the file the search function is unavailable, or inadequate.
Since I am a doctor, and this txt file is a national medical formulary, it has been an invaluable resource for me in everyday practice. I used to view it with LCG X-plore on E71 and easily search for the name of the therapeutic with an easy find-next option. Now, on much more powerful device - the HTC Desire HD, I can't even open it, and if I can, the search function is not as nearly functional as it was on good ol' E71. I believe that this must be just me being newbie in Android, and my question is following:
PLEASE recommend me a simple TXT viewer capable of opening the attached LARGE TEXT file (1,7MB) with FIND and FIND NEXT functions.
Thank you!

Docs To Go doesn't support .txt files.
Edit: Try this, http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=xplore&page=download&platform=android it's an explorer but makes a very good text viewer for large txt files.
Is there a way of copying text from the windows clipboard into the android phone? I have Bible notes in a windows program that I want to copy to an android program. they are made by different companies, so the easiest way to copy would be to do a verse by verse copy and paste. However, I don't see how I can use my windows machine to get into the android clipboard.
I tried using droid explorer, but couldn't figure it out. I was able to do a screencast.

Best way to do it is to copy the text on the pc into a txt file, like using notepad. Copy that to your phone, then open it using a file explorer, use that text editor, copy it on the phone, then paste it where you need it.
Yes, every will work. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I guess when you have something stuck in your head, it's sometimes hard to figure out alternatives.
To add on to what's already been said, once you save it as a .txt file and save it to your SD card you can import it into AK Notepad. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow this, but that's the app I use & I know that it works. You can also create a shortcut to the imported file on your homescreen (long-press on the note from within the app and select "pin to homescreen") or add a widget so you can access it easily.

You can also use the Google Chrome to Phone extension and program to push snippets of text from your browser to the phone. I'm finding myself using Evernote more than that lately though. Catch notes, Springpad, or any of the other notepad apps that sync would work. It's nice because it works great both ways -- I can copy something from the phone and create a note, then read it from the PC, or vice versa.
Thanks all. I will use google docs. They already have my information.

A bit late, but here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821738
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

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?

Besides apps in the market? There are several you can use to send from an app into it and it'll create a PDF, but I don't use any particular one so can't recommend anything specific.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=create pdf
I had already seen these. None of them are what I was looking for. I was looking for something like what is widely available in Windows. It is essentially a "printer driver". You tell the app that you're in to "print" to this so-called printer and the result is a pdf file.
Hello, I am considering to buy Google ebook. I clicked on a sample button and the ebook was launched by some kind of browser. I tried to select a word or a series of word using the S pen but this function did not work.
1. How come the S pen features do not work on Google ebook? Any way to make them work?
2. If I want to underline, highlight, annotate text and pictures using different colors, what can I do?
3. Can I convert ebook into pdf format so that I can view and annotate using ezpdf viewer?
4. Do I need to have internet connection in order to view ebook? I wonder if it will be downloaded and saved to the Note PRO locally.
Thanks.

I have no idea about other issues but if you have ebook or mobi file you can covert it to a pdf.
Thanks. What is the best way/app to do it?

Have you tried opening the epub in Moon+ reader, Aldiko or Mantano reader?
Converting to pdf can be done on pc with Calibre.

I cannot find the ebook on my GNote PRO nor on my Mac. Where is it stored?

If you launched it via the website on the device, it's a temporary file that you can't access. On a Mac it might be located in Temporary files, provided Apple has such a folder.
But if you install one of the apps you should (mind you, I've never used Google Books) be able to select it to open in one of those.
I clicked on Play Book and I could view the ebook from there. However, I cannot find the location where the source file is saved. I want to transfer the source file to my Mac to conversion to pdf.
I can also find the ebook after logging into my google account from Mac. When I clicked on it, it opens. I also cannot find the source file.
On Google Play Store in a web browser on a computer you can go into books and then my books... Each of your books will have a 3 dot menu that has download options for epub and pdf.... Keep in mind that you are dealing with DRM/copyrighted material so don't expect to be getting unprotected files out of the application...
What you end up with are not straight epub or PDF files though. No idea what they are but that's as far as I got with just a minute of searching via google.
Good luck.

I have tried that already. For the book I got, clicking the 3 dot menu gave me two options: remove from my library, about this book.
