You need to clearly identify how to add Phatpad (Writepad); otherwise, customers will use your link in the Help file and pay $9.99 to add the Phatpad app and it will not work in your program. What they need to do is add it through the writing button in the text edit frame within your program. This option only costs $2.99. What is more, you need to clearly indicate that only the English version of Phatpad will work. I needed to write in English and Spanish and spent close to $15 and am disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered integrating your program with Pogoplug?
ReplyDeleteHave you considered creating a viewer program for Windows? Not everyone is full mac.
ReplyDeleteOne last hint for serious users:
ReplyDeleteIf you plan importing, marking up, and exporting PDF documents through Dropbox, then you have to turn off the Export PDF & text as image option. Otherwise, you will produce a fuzzy marked-up PDF file--fuzzy in terms of readable text, that is.
In regards to the Writepad the link in the help is part of my contractual obligation to Phatware and can't be changed on my end. I will clarify that it is the English only version of Writepad that is available though. Sorry for this omission.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to Pogoplug I have never even heard of it. I might consider adding it in the future now that I have but there are many other services that are before it on my list to add unfortunately.
There are no plans on making a desktop viewer either for Mac or Windows. If I ever do Windows will definitely be first though. I will probably provide a Honeycomb version before I do a desktop version though.
Finally in regards to the Export PDF option you are talking about that is an option but it might lead to garbled text due to a bug in the iOS PDF generation library where it does not embedd fonts as needed in a lot of cases.
