Viewing Large or Complex Documents

Quickoffice utilizes the viewer present on your iPad to view documents. This document viewer is used by many applications on your iPad, including the Mail application, for viewing e-mail attachments. At times, the viewer can crash or not respond when viewing large or complex documents.

Zooming and scrolling

Zooming: When viewing documents, you can zoom in and out. To do a quick zoom, tap and hold the content you wish to zoom in on. Release your finger to zoom out. This action is useful for selecting specific text. Quickoffice supports the familiar 2-finger pinch gesture to zoom in or out.

Scrolling: To scroll around the file, simply tap and drag up, down, or sideways. Dragging your finger to scroll won't choose or activate anything on the screen.

Viewing files in Landscape orientation

Quickoffice will change the orientation of the document you are viewing based on the accelerometer

sensor.

Caching files for faster view

Quickoffice uses a cache to store recently downloaded & viewed files. You can adjust the size of the cache by pressing the Settings icon in the top right-hand side of the Home screen and selecting File Cache. To clear the cache, from the Home screen, press the Settings icon, then File Cache and select Clear Cache.

Viewing Password Protected PDF's

At this time, Quickoffice does not support viewing of password protected PDF's.

Viewing images

Quickoffice supports viewing of popular image formats such as JPG, TIFF, GIF, SVG and PNG. Quickoffice includes a built-in image viewer optimized for viewing images on your iPad.

8


Playing Audio and Video files

Quickoffice supports playing of popular media formats such as MP3, MOV and QT.

Access Your E-mail Attachments

To open your e-mail attachments in Quickoffice, open the e-mail containing

the attachment in the iPad Mail app. Tap on the attachment to open a

document preview.

Tap the Open In… button in the top right-hand corner and select

Quickoffice. The button will now read Open in Quickoffice. Press this

button once more to open the document in Quickoffice.

The document will automatically open in Quickoffice. You will now be able to edit your attachment.

Please note that you must save the file to another folder in order to preserve any changes that may

have been made.

All attachments that have been opened in Quickoffice can be found in the Inbox folder under the

main file manager. The Inbox folder is a read-only folder--you cannot save any changes into it,

although you can delete files from it. You will need to save any edits to a different folder.

Transferring Files To & From iPad

Overview

Quickoffice allows you to use a WiFi network to transfer documents between your iPad and a desktop computer running Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows Vista. Files are transferred via WiFi in one of two ways, either by mounting your mobile device as a drive on your computer or by using the web browser on your computer to communicate with your device. New to Quickoffice for iPad, you may also transfer your files via iTunes using a USB cable.

When your mobile device is mounted as a drive, you move and copy files to and from the device using the Finder on Mac OS X, or the File Explorer on Microsoft Windows platforms. When using a web browser, Quickoffice presents a friendly web interface, which allows you to browse the contents of your device and exchange files with the computer.

Note: iWork files cannot be transferred using the iTunes interface. Please mount your iPad as a drive or use the web browser interface to transfer iWork files.

Requirements

File Transfers make use of the WiFi networking capabilities of the iPad to exchange files with a desktop computer. Quickoffice supports Macintosh computers running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Microsoft Windows Vista SP2.

Before you can use File Transfers, you will need to connect both your iPad and the computer to the same WiFi network. The current WiFi network settings for the iPad may be found in the Settings application. For instructions and troubleshooting tips, please refer to the documentation that came with your iPad. Similarly, please refer to the documentation provided with your operating system for help in connecting your computer to a WiFi network.

File Transfer Settings

You can access the File Transfer settings by tapping the Settings icon in the upper right-hand corner of the file manager screen, followed by tapping File Transfers.

10


The File Transfers Master Switch

The File Transfers master switch allows you to enable and disable the File Transfers functionality

altogether.

Beneath the master switch, Quickoffice offers status information about the file transfer connection.

When enabled, this status information

presents the internet address that you

can use to connect to your iPad on its

local network.

File Transfer Authentication Settings

When File Transfers are enabled, Quickoffice also offers authentication settings. Authentication can be enabled or disabled under the File Transfers settings. When Authentication is disabled, any computer that attempts to make a connection to your device may do so without requiring the user of that computer to enter a username and password.

Note: If you disable authentication, other computers on the local network will be able to connect to your mobile device and access the files it contains.

When authentication is enabled, Quickoffice will display fields for setting a username and password. Once the username and password are set, when any computer tries to connect with the device, Quickoffice will ask the user to provide that same username and password before allowing that computer access to the files on your device.

Note: File Transfers authentication settings are only used to validate whether or not a computer can connect to your iPad, but File Transfers does not use a secure connection to transfer the content of files. Using File Transfers on a public WiFi network, even with authentication enabled, can put the security of those files at risk.

11


Transfer Files Using a Web Browser

To transfer files with Quickoffice using a web browser, first make sure you have an active WiFi

connection on your device and your computer. Verify that your iPad and your computer are on the same

WiFi network.

When you open Quickoffice on your device, you will see a

web address at the bottom of the Home screen.

This address is also displayed when you select File Transfers from the Settings dialog.

On your computer, launch your favorite

browser and enter the address displayed in

Quickoffice on your device. If you have

enabled authentication (see the File

Transfer Authentication Settings section for

more information) in your Quickoffice File

Transfers settings, you will be prompted for

a username and password on your

computer. You will then be connected to

your device through your browser. From the

Quickoffice browser interface on your

computer, you can see the files stored

within the Quickoffice application on your

device and transfer files to and from your iPad.

To transfer files to your device, click on Upload Files and click on

next to Add Files to choose the file you want to transfer to your

device. You can add multiple files by selecting for each file you’d

like to add. Once you have selected all of the files you want to upload,

press to transfer the selected files.

The files will be added to the folder selected in the Quickoffice interface

in the browser on your computer. If you have multiple folders in

Quickoffice on your device, you can choose the folder that you want to

transfer your files to by opening that folder in your web browser.

To download files to your PC or Mac from your iPad, in the

Quickoffice browser interface on your computer, navigate

through the folder structure on your iPad to the folder that

contains the file you wish to download. Then, press the arrow

12


icon next to the file name. This will display the details for the file and a Download button. Press

Download to download the file to your computer.

Note: At this time, iWork files cannot be transferred using the iTunes interface. You will need to mount

your iPad as a drive or use the web browser interface to transfer iWork files.

Transfer Files to Your iPad via Disk Mount

Make sure you have turned on the WiFi on your iPad and your computer. Verify that iPad and your

computer are on the same WiFi network. Select the Settings icon and tap File Transfers from the home

screen and verify that file transfers are enabled. You can view the file transfer URL from this dialog or at

the bottom of the home screen.

Note: The following process varies based on your computer’s operating system.
