PDFs and printing from Z5

renikisss — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:12:28 GMT

Hi everyone, new to the forums and been a long time since I had a Sony.

I have hunted all over the Internet and on every forum I can find but cannot find an answer.

I'm basically looking for an app(s) that can do what iBooks did on the iPhone..I want it to open PDF files, save them all in there, click on them and print. It was very simple to do on the iPhone and all within a standard iPhone app but I'm really struggling with the Android.

So bascially:

1. Need to be able to save/store, file and delete PDFs. I've tried OneDrive & Google Drive...not a fan of either. And I don't need or really want to have them stored on a cloud either. If I need to, I can save them to Dropbox like I did with the iPhone.

2. Print the PDF files. I have tried the Canon print app, PrintShare & Cloud Print....nothing works properly.

There must be a simple solution that I just can't find.

Any help and suggestion would be appreciated.

1) es file explorer. Create a folder and store your files. Then, open them with Google Drive browser without storing them on the cloud;

2) It depends on the printer you have
Hp: try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hp.printercontrol
Epson: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=epson.print

But nothing is as easy and practical as ibooks and airprint. Apple has often something more than everyone else.
