Hello QommunityBN.
-
Hopefully you can help.
This is what i'd like to be able to do, hopefully someone has figured out a way of doing it.We would like to be able to use our iPhone + our projector to display a PDF at meetings/presentations. Is that possible? If it is, how do we do it? The iPhone doesn't have the capability to store a PDF locally so i'm guesing we would have to upload to our server and access it over a connection? Downside to that is two-fold, 1. The connection might be very slow [resulting in slow loading times] & 2. There migt not be a connection at all at the meeting.

Any help would be great.
Thank You.

well its possible in a way,
but you have to play it over a projector with bluetooth capibility.
but its really slow loading time and i would not advise it for use in a meeting.

you can email the pdf to yourself and then access it through your email (since it will be saved in your mail that would eliminate the need for a connection)
i'm not sure how it would display though. everytime i get a pdf i'm scrolling and pinching the screen to zoom into certain areas, etc...

Hej Build,
is asked around with my more 'techy' buddies and they
really have no idea,
there are some applications and mods on the way
but thats probably for the second generation i phone...

You could make videos out of the pdf and then just connect using the lineout thingy, but a long way around it !

If you jailbreak the phone* can you then access it like a drive [drag/drop/view]?
*I don't intend to do this.

maybe is you make a keynote presentation?
and the export as quicktime and put transitions to manual -> so you still have control over the duration of the slides?

Theres an app online that enables an iphone to be used as a hard disk just like an ipods.
