SophiaH Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Has anyone figured out a way to get the teacherfilebox units onto a Kindle Fire or iPad? I've spent the past few days putting all the units I want into my filebox, and now that I've started to print, :thumbdown: I'm thinking it may be better if I could just have dd complete them on my iPad, if possible. BTW, could Evan-Moor have made their website any more difficult to navigate? It's so slow and clunky! :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have not yet found a way to do this-which will probably mean that this will be my last year of TFB. DD enjoys the variety of activities and is a worksheet-y kid, but I much prefer to have her do worksheets on the iPad so I don't end up with piles after pile of printed pages where she's just written a few words or numbers.

Awesome! But...how do you get them into Dropbox? :blush: ETA: I already have both Dropbox and Notability set up on my iPad, and dropbox on my mac, so this would be ideal!

tomandlorih Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm about to sign up for TFB so :bigear::bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesmom Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you can open what you need from TFB in Safari on your iPad, the option to move it to Notability should pop up in the upper right corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It doesn't work for me-the actual PDF doesn't open, only a preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophiaH Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have been trying and I cannot see any way to get these files to Dropbox or notability or to a .pdf. This Mama Teaches, can you help us out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Mama Teaches Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Okay, I will get that info from my husband tonight and give directions on how to do it. Don't give up! It really is awesome once you get it...but I'm not computer savvy enough to remember how he did it! haha. I will try to get it all typed out tonight for you all! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest donnaste Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi! As you can see, I never post...lol, but I do want to share how I use the TFB pdf's on my iPad. When you are ready to print your pdf on your pc/laptop, start the printing process like normal. There should be a small box at the bottom of your printing box(mine is on the bottom left) that says pdf. Click on it, and instead of actually printing, you are going to save the pdf to a designated folder on your computer or to Dropbox if you have it. You can even just email it to yourself from that box. I am not sure if the saving of pdf's from TFB is allowed, but this is how you can get the documents onto your tablet device. To use on an iPad, (not sure about Kindle) you can email yourself the pdf and open it in Notability or iBooks. If you have the dropbox app just open your pdf from that. I hope that helps!

SophiaH Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Donna, Thank you so much for coming out of hiding! I really appreciate it!

serendipitous journey Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 so when its on the ipad they can fill in the blanks on the ipad? or do they have to do it on a seperate paper.. (sorry new to this whole put the pages on the ipad thing) :bigear: for this info too ... my ipad is still in its box (waiting until things are quiet enough 'round here for me to cherish the little Box Moment of opening it ... I've been waiting almost a week now :D and may have to settle for opening it in the midst of General Craziness or Late Night Cleaning ...). I've been wondering how folks do worksheets on it!

BugsMama Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 When I try to print to file, I get an access denied message. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I feel so un-tech savvy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
