Can you work with documents on an ipad?


Recommended Posts

I have never used an ipad.

 

Can you make a document on an ipad? Something that is equivalent to say, a Word document?

 

If so, can you somehow transfer it to a laptop so it can be printed out? Or can you hook up a regular home printer to an ipad?

 

If you can transfer a document to a laptop, can you transfer it back to the ipad?

I didn't buy Pages because it was so difficult to move docs to Dropbox from Pages. Is there an easy way to do that now? I use Doc2HD but would like to use Pages.

 

Does Pages keep up with word count as you type? That is something that Doc2HD does not do, but I rely on wordcount heavily for some of my client work.

I'd also like to know :)

Genius Scan is also a handy tool with (already existing) documents. It's a free app - it allows you to shoot a pic of a paper document, and it turns it into a pdf. It has an edge trimmer on it, so if you have a little more in the photo, you just chop it off and your doc will have clean lines. Then, you can file them right in the app and email them out.

 

I have a wireless WiFi printer from HP:

It allows me to print from my laptop, iPads and iPhones from wherever I may be working from in the house.

I just bought Epson 3540, which is one of those all-in-one printers with WiFi so that I can print from a tablet. I may have to consider Pages now. I have been creating very simple documents using Notability app, but these are basic Latin sentences for translation purposes, so nothing fancy.

 

I think Pages can be used to create PDF documents, correct? But I don't think it can be emailed to your PC and saved as a Word doc, correct?

 

Well, considering what I spent to try out all the PDF apps, $10 for Pages seem reasonable. I was hoping for a MS Word compatible app however.
