One of the things my company does is to produce gifts made up of multiple components, and in order to achieve this the packing team use what we refer to as 'production books'. These are printed an bound, and contain all the info you need in order to create X number of said gifts. I have been tasked with investigating making these electronic, so that they can be annotated and edited on iPads (or other mobile devices). My initial thought was that we should convert them to PDF forms, which is straightforward enough. What I don't know much about is how we would store them on the network, access them wirelessly for editing (only ever on one device at a time), and then save the annotated version back to the network. Some sort of mini cloud I suppose. Does anyone have any experience of this area that they would be willing to share? I can provide more detail if required. Thanks in advance.
I think if they are editable forms you can fill in the prescribed fields using Reader. I'm wondering whether OneNote might actually suit better, or even Word... I should add that I'm not limited to iPads, if a Windows or Android based tablet were more suitable then we could look at those instead. I've edited the title accordingly.
Depends sometimes dropbox doesn't work as all the Data is held in the USA. I mean, for me and you that's fine but I can't use it for some of my clients due to data storage policies etc.
if you can get it, InfoPath is ideal for this it comes in 2 parts InfoPath designer and InfoPath filler
