If you have an iPad, iPhone, or an iPod Touch, you already have a way to manage PDF’s and have them with you on the go: iTunes. This video shows how to use iTunes to sync your PDF’s, as well as a hidden automatic import folder that you can use to scan right to iTunes. […]
Continue readingOne of the most popular posts on DocumentSnap is my iPhone document scanning app comparison that I wrote more than a year ago. Sometimes I get asked about Android apps, but since I did not have an Android device, the best I could do was a lame “well, I hear xxx is good…” answer. That […]
Continue readingI’ll admit it, I used to be a printer. Or to put it more accurately, I used to not be a screen-reader. If there was any document of non-trivial length that I needed to read, I’d print it out. That all changed once I bought my iPad. Now, I actually prefer to read anything on […]
Continue readingI have written before about how a Kindle can be a good device for going paperless. After all, if you are a reader, you might already have a Kindle with you, and it is a small and lightweight PDF viewer for those documents that you want to have on-the-go.

Continue readingIt is amazing how much we can get done with PDFs on the iPad. The latest generation of PDF apps really are great. That is why, when I saw this tweet from Eddie Smith over at Practically Efficient, I knew there must be a way.[1] Anyone know of an iPad app/trick to pull a single […]
Continue readingWhen you are starting to go paperless, one of the best things that you can do is eliminate the paper coming into your life in the first place. A tweet from Twitter user @chicken_scratch pointed me to this smartphone app PaperKarma. Apparently you can use it to take a picture of a piece of mail, […]
Continue readingDocument scanning apps for smartphones are becoming better and better. One great one that I have written about a few times is Genius Scan. It has been one of my favorite iOS scanning apps for quite some time. The great folks at The Grizzly Labs (makers of the app) wrote to let me know that […]
Continue readingI was recently asked what I use to view/manage/work with PDFs on the iPad. At the moment, I use GoodReader. It comes in an iPad and an iPhone version. GoodReader is way more than a PDF application. I tend to think of it as a file system for iOS, with connections to all sorts of […]
