How to save a PDF to your iPad

by Katie Gatto on Jul 6, 2010 at 08:11 AM

Let’s say you found a great PDF on the web. It has exactly what you need in order to wow your boss. Or, maybe it has what you need in order to win that ongoing argument with your friend. Either way, you need to get your hands on that PDF outside the web, and you do not want to wait for the next time you and your intended target are near a computer. After all, if you just email it you cannot see the look of utter defeat on the face of the loser of that bet. If that ability is worth a few extra steps, then you have found yourself in the right place. With the help of one app, you can get it done in no time at all.

  1. Download the GoodReader App if you do not already have it.
  2. Open the target PDF in Safari on your iPad.
  3. Tap and then hold the Address Bar in Safari.
  4. When the menu appears choose Select All.
  5. Tap on Copy.
  6. Press the Home button to get back to your apps.
  7. Open the Good Reader app.
  8. Click on Web Downloads then choose Enter URL.
PDF on the iPad
  1. Paste in the URL you just copied.
  2. Tap OK.

Once the download is done you will see the PDF in your My Documents tab.

AppleTV

in

At Lewis Elementary have had a monitor running school images in our hallway near our office. This is a common waiting area and it is a nice opportunity to share images of what is going on with our program with those visiting in this area.

To share the images we have used an old laptop connected to a wall mounted monitor to cycle through a series of desktop images. This has worked well for the past few years until recently when the old laptop finally gave out.

I have been looking for other solutions, decided to try an AppleTV. The AppleTV allows you to display images from a number of sources including Flickr.  So now we have an AppleTV connected to the monitor and are running a slide show of images from our Lewis Elementary Flickr account. In addition the AppleTV also gives us the option of playing music, so we now also play music via the AppleTV along with showing the images.
