[nabs-l] quick question about blackboard

[Valerie Gibson]

I have the app. I just wanted a way to get the PDF just using my iPad so I'm not leashed to my mac mini just to get PDF's.

SO, you recommend downloading them with my computer, storing them in a file storage app, and reading them with a file reading app?

PS: They should really make it so you can get files from BB app. :(

I recommended the file share applications because they would allow you to use their built in facilities to read the documents. Again I would highly suggest you talk to your state counselor if you have one about purchasing the KNFB app for you. The KNFB reader app runs on both iDevices and Android devices and can read just about whatever document type you need including .pdf files. The application is 99 dollars but it is well worth the money if you can find a way to get it. Hope this helps.

You can download .pdf files and other files but it will require that you save them in some application such as one of the before mentioned applications or the Pages app. To read these files I would say the Kurzweil app is your best option if you could get it or have it, but Google Drive has a built in reader as do other similar file management apps I assume. I hope this helps and if you have further questions please reach out.
