Android
info regarding opening pdf's on a mobile android device from our website:
Sometimes there is an issue of Android not opening pdf's well
There is a different way that Windows & Apple grabs the pdf charts, than the way android does. The easiest way to fix the problem is to install & use the Opera for android browser.
· Opera works by hitting the saving button after selecting a pdf chart, but then grab the pdf from notification center (swipe down on your device).
· Firefox also works by hitting the download button after selecting a pdf chart, then grab the pdf from notification center (swipe down on your device)
· But do not use chrome on android because it always hands off the pdf chart download to another app (internet, pdf viewer etc..)
You can make your default internet browser work, but it takes the following steps:
· If go into application manager via settings. Then clear your pdf default viewer app (it might be drive, pdf viewer, internet, chrome)
·
Then load RxFiles
via default internet app (not chrome),
·
Then select internet
when asked to open with.
·
Then on the second
prompt open via downloads.
·
Then go to
notification center (via swipe down from the top of device)
· Then hit the download complete notification.
What's the difference between the online subscription
and the app?
Online
subscription access has the following advantages:
- access to all of RxFiles Drug Comparison Charts book through
website
- access to Geri-RxFiles 2nd Edition online
- access to additional RxFiles postings (newsletter, q&a’s, additional patient tools)
-
updated/revised postings every 1-2 weeks.
-
most links within charts and documents are live, allowing seamless moving to
other documents
- separate home screen automatically for mobile devices
- when combined with RxFiles
PLUS app, the online subscription serves to provide access to drug
comparison charts when logged in on the app
The
app has the following advantages:
- just the charts from the RxFiles Charts book (less to sort
through)
-
speedy searching, and very vast access to charts
-
content downloaded to the device, so accessible even when you don't have access
to the internet
-
updates, via download, are every 3-4 months
- at present we are not able to combine access to both app and
online due to limitations with the app provider
{Note:
app does not include Geri-RxFiles, which is only available online}
---------------------------
o Both apps have select charts available in trial version.
o Unfortunately, these apps are not able to be packaged with other book or
online products.
