Here’s a simple way to add documents to your iPhone.\u00a0 This applies to OSX Leopard but I am sure you can do the same thing somehow in Tiger or even on a PC \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
1) Open your document in its native app.\u00a0 I wanted to put some Word documents on my phone so I open them in Word.<\/p>\n
2) Go to File…Print and choose the PDF button at the bottom.\u00a0 Save the doc as a PDF.<\/p>\n
3) Open the PDF in Preview.\u00a0 Save as… and save it as a PNG or other image format.<\/p>\n
4) Import it into iPhoto.\u00a0\u00a0 I created an event called iPhone Documents and then a smart album to hold anything that has the word iPhone (thus the entire event).\u00a0 You could also just create an album and add documents to it whenever you add them to iPhoto.<\/p>\n
5) In iTunes set your iPhone to sync that smart album to your iPhone.\u00a0 (I already only sync selected albums as I have too many photos to fit on my phone.\u00a0 One other thing I find useful is syncing the “Last Import” album.\u00a0 When I connect my iPhone it opens iPhoto and I import any photos I have taken.\u00a0 I add them to an existing event if applicable or create a new event.\u00a0 Then I delete the originals from the iPhone.\u00a0 Then iTunes syncs that last import back to the phone using the event name I chose, and if I added them to an existing event, it syncs that entire event back to the phone.\u00a0 Seems like a waste, but I find it very handy.\u00a0 I then have three albums on my phone, the photos I am taking on the phone, the last import and my documents.\u00a0 Nicely organized.)<\/p>\n
Done.\u00a0 Now you can view your docs in the photo gallery on the iPhone.\u00a0 The quality is not superb, and text size of 10 will be unreadable, but I think it is cool that you can take docs along if you want.\u00a0 No editing, mind you, at least not ’till this summer when Documents to Go or something like that comes out through the app store, but handy for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
