WOiP Tip - Reduce PDFs For Quicker Access

Here is a little tip that I am finding rather useful.

The proliferation of apps such as Briefcase, AirSharing, and A.I. Disk (just to name a few of this growing genre), make storing files directly on an iPhone or iPod Touch, or accessing them remotely, incredibly simple. Add to that the fact that Evernote now allows off-line storage, and the number of choices for storing and accessing files on the handhelds is huge.

Over the past year I have been moving toward a "paperless" work-style. Most of my important documents and text are now in electronic format - most of the time PDF. As a result, I can literally have an entire reference library with me at all times on either my iPhone or iPod Touch. Unfortunately, PDFs can be huge, and that is where the problem begins.

The handhelds seem to be able to handle rather large files but, unfortunately, they can take a long time to load. Try to resize them and you end up waiting a long time. Moreover, flipping from one page to the next is at best, a slow process.

That's where the tip comes in...Read more
