How To Access Icloud Notes On Ipad



one of the advantages of using pdfpen is thatit's multi-platform. there's versions not only for the mac, but there's also a versionthat works on the ipad and iphone. and because pdfpen uses icloud, the documents synchronizeacross all 3 platforms very easily. let me show you how. first i've got my ipad and iphoneon the screen right now. to turn on icloud syncing you need to go to the tools menu andin the settings, you can scroll down. you


How To Access Icloud Notes On Ipad, can see the section right here where i'vegot icloud. you can do the same thing under the phone, under the tools as well.once i've got that turned on, then documents will sync automatically. for example, i'mgoing to open up this document right here on my ipad. and let's say i want to go aheadand perform an annotation on it. i'm going


to use the squiggle tool with the orange color,and i'm going to draw a circle around the phone number. once i'm done, i'm going toback out of that document and icloud is automatically going to update itself with this new versionof the document with the annotation applied. this all happens very quickly. when i openthe document on my iphone, you can see the annotation is already there.now i can have a little bit more fun, so i'm going to go ahead and annotate it again withanother squiggle. i'm going to get a thicker line, and i'm going to put it right underthis section. then i'm going to back out of that, and my iphone is going to start updatingicloud with the same information. now i'm going to go over to my mac. i'm looking atthe root directory of icloud. you can see


on the finder there's this built in pdfpenprofolder. this is because i use pdfpenpro instead of pdfpen, but if you had pdfpen on your mac,you'd have a similar folder. it's got the little icon on it, and you knowthat's the official icloud folder that's synchronizing these documents. when i double tap on thatyou're going to see that i've got the same files here that i had on my ipad and iphone.when i go ahead and open up this document with pdfpen, you're going to see it's gotthose same annotations that i did on my ipad and iphone. they automatically synchronizedover icloud. i didn't have to lift a finger, and the changes just showed up. this is agreat feature. i use it all the time. pdfpen can also sync the documents via dropbox.i'm going to go up here to the documents tab


on the ipad and say add a folder via dropbox.i've got this pdfpen sync folder already selected, so i'll tap that. i'm going to do the samething over on the iphone and now pdfpen is hooked up to a folder in my dropbox that'sgot this one pdf file in it. if i go ahead and tap it, once it's done downloading. itis going to open up the file and allow me to make further annotations to it. so i'llgo ahead and do that real quick, this time with blue. and we'll upload that to dropbox.then i can go over to the iphone. open up the same document, and you'll see that blueannotation that i just made on the ipad is already available on the iphone. and for giggles,i can just go over to the mac and i'll see that same annotation opens up on the mac aswell. this single document is syncing through


dropbox to all of my devices with pdfpen.
