Import Email Attachments

Imagine you are outside the office, and you receive an email with an agreement that you’re required to sign up and hand in the document immediately.

Open an email and tap on the attachment you need.

Choose “PDF Reader” from the pop-up menu to open with.

Then you can view and edit the PDF attachment with PDF Reader.

Hello,

In this month’s back to basics tutorials, we’re going to tell you everything about Kdan Cloud - that you can effortlessly share or sync files between different devices. We rounded up two hacks to help you back up files easily.

Upload Files from the File List

PDF Reader connects with Kdan Cloud so that you can easily transfer files from your Android phone or tablet and then pick them up on your PC/Mac.

Sign in with your Kdan ID (or sign up for free).

Go to the file list in the “Documents” tab.

You will see a status bar appear under each file. It will display as “Device”, “Cloud & Device”, or “Cloud” to see if the file is synced.

“Device” represents the file (or the latest version of it) is located in the device and ready to sync.

Tap on the status bar and choose “Upload” from the drop-down menu to sync the document to Kdan Cloud.

Share Files as a Download Link

Make a link to files and quickly share your PDFs with friends. They can preview the files through their web browser even if they don’t have PDF Reader or Kdan Cloud.

Open one PDF, and tap the “Kdan Cloud” icon on the bottom right corner of the screen.

Tap the “Share File Link” button from the Kdan Cloud service menu.

Then choose either icon/app from the sharing dialog to share the download link with.

(Note: You will be asked to upload the file to Kdan Cloud first.)

Hi,

There are so many kinds of love and so many ways to share it! Sending a greeting card has become a popular way to express your feeling to someone special. In this love-filled Valentine month, we’re going to teach you how to make simple yet personalized greeting cards using PDF Reader.

Create a PDF Using Camera

Find one postcard as a template.

Tap “Drawer” on the top left corner and tap “Scanner” to start scanning.

Remove unwanted parts from the scan using the crop tool.

Tap the “Share” button and directly open the PDF after conversion.

Express Greetings with Handwritings

Tap on the “handwriting” tool from the annotation toolbar.

Long tap on the icon to change settings for the brush, opacity, and color.

Use zoom in/out to write effectively if you are using a smartphone.

(We would suggest you to write with a stylus.)

Send out Your Wishes

Tap on the “More” button on the top right corner.

Tap “Share” to send out the e-postcard.

Hi there,

I’m Frank, the PDF project manager at Kdan Mobile. Have you planned for a spring trip yet? This month, I’m going to share my experiences about how to use PDF Reader in planning or preparing for a spring vacation as a solo traveler. If possible, maybe you will see me in Bangkok for the amazing Songkran Festival!

Before You Go: Take a Copy

Whether you travel alone or with a group, always expect the unexpected. Losing a passport is a real possibility, no matter how careful you are. Before I take off on my adventure, I will create digital copies of my passport, credit cards, and other important pieces of identification. Always be prepared for all the worst-case scenarios.

Tap the “Scanner” tab for the scanner.

Place your passport/ID card under the camera and start scanning (or you can import photos from the gallery).

You can adjust the images using the filter or crop tool.

Tap the "Export" button and choose "Convert to PDF".

The scanned project will be saved to the Documents tab as a PDF file.

Find Accommodation: Save Booking Vouchers

I personally use the Agoda app for accommodation search. Sometime, they offer flash deals available for booking from the app. After making a booking, you can send a confirmation email along with the booking voucher (PDF files) to yourself. Simply import the attachment to PDF Reader.

Open the confirmation email.

Tap on the email attachment, and you will see the sharing panel.

Choose “PDF Reader” to open with, and there will be a copy automatically saved into PDF Reader.

You can put your flight info or insurance documents to PDF Reader as well.

Be Organized: Arrange Files in Folders

Organizing travel information will have a big impact on your ability to find those files later. I create folders naming them by the date of my trip, and then they will automatically be ordered by date.

Tap "More Actions" at the top right corner and choose "Add new folder".

Rename the folder by date (mm-dd).

Then move files to the target folder accordingly.

Have a safe trip!

Best regards,

Frank

Hi there,

Sometimes you don't need everything in the massive report, or maybe it's so big that it won't even fit on your device. PDF Reader offers you a simple but well designed tool to help you chop large documents into manageable chunks. In this month, we’re going teach you how to shrink the files size using our page editing tool.

Save Selected Pages as a New PDF

Open one PDF.

Tap the “Grid View” button to view PDF pages in thumbnails.

Tap the “Edit” button to start page editing.

Select pages you’d like to export and tap the “Extract” button.

The pages will be saved as a new separate PDF in the file list.

Delete Unwanted Pages

In page editing mode, select pages you’d like to remove and tap the “Delete” button.

Tap “OK” from the pop up.

Then the selected pages will be permanently removed from the PDF.

Hi there,

Growing your business often means you have to spend lots of time on the move. Traveling to client sites for meetings and presentations is important, but productivity often takes a back seat. This month, we offer you three tips on how to stay productive with PDF Reader as you work from one city to the next.

Transition from Paper to Digital Files

While being emailed an agreement, you could print out the file, sign it, and then scan it back in and email it. However, there’s always a better, faster way.

Open one PDF and tap the “Handwrite” button from the annotation toolbar.

Long tap on the button to change the brush size, opacity, and the color.

You can write on the PDF with your fingers or a stylus.

Tap “Save” to finish handwriting.

PDF Reader Windows

Stop Re-creating Documents

A common frustration for us is spending time re-creating PDF documents. Try to convert the PDF to Word instead of re-creating the material from scratch in Microsoft Word.

Open one PDF and tap “Converter” from the Kdan Cloud service menu.

Swipe left or right to choose the output file format and start the conversion.

Then the output file will be stored in the “Converted” folder.

You can access the file directly from any PDF Reader connected with Kdan Cloud.

Keep Your Workflow in Sync

Working across multiple devices can be challenging. Try to keep them all effortlessly organized, so you can spend less time fiddling and more time getting things done.

Launch the app.

Go to the “Kdan Cloud” tab and download the files you need to your laptop.

You can work with the Windows app for more editing tools, including text box, stamp, and hyperlink.

Or sync the Word document you converted from the Android app for further editing in MS Word software.

The converter and Kdan Cloud features are all available on Android and Windows.

Hi there,

Let’s say transferring files between devices is often a pain - and yes, especially when you’re trying to share files with someone (e.g. friends, clients, and colleagues) in the same physical space as you. This month, we offer you two options on how to share files using the PDF Reader app.

Share Files as Download Links

Go to the “Kdan Cloud” taband tap the drop-down menu under each file.

Select “Share File Link” from the menu, and the system will automatically generate a download link.

Send out the link via instant messenger or emails.

The receiver can preview the document directly from their web browser even if they don’t have the PDF Reader app or Kdan Cloud.

Share Files with Documents/Attachments

Long tap on the target file until it is automatically selected.

Tap the “More” button in the top right corner.

Tap “Share” and choose either instant messenger or other file transfer apps you have from the sharing dialog to share files with.

Hi there,
