New Version of Docs to Go with PDF Support - BlackBerryForums.com : Your Number One BlackBerry Community

Deguello · **OS:** 4.7.1.40

I'm downloading now the 1.005 version of Docs to go that claimes to add a PDF viewer and support for Excel 2007!! I'll let you know how it goes.

Redflea · 12:35 PM

Free or paid?

Never mind, I checked - it's an update to the free version.

1.005.030, 2.5 MB

MrKyoo · 11-04-2008, 12:48 PM

Whoa, 2.5MB. This program needs to loose some weight.

Redflea · **OS:** 4.5.0.131

Yup - it's fat, and that's the standard version.

PDF support not included:

From v.1.002.016 (2.23MB) to v1.005.030 (2.58MB), incl. German, Spanish, Italian and French support, does seem to be a hefty upgrade.

I am curious as to how much memory "PDFtoGo" takes up.... anyone?

Update : I believe v1.005.030 would be 2.44MB wo other langs. Still alot....

CO_BBTechie · 11-04-2008, 05:42 PM

Who knows... anyone pay for it that has a size? I downloaded the update and found out about the same time people started posting here that the PDF update was not included in the freeloader version.

PDM · 05:59 PM

PDF To Go is another 617KB. Which depending upon functionality compared to some of the latest offerings wouldnt be to bad size-wise.

titetanium · 11-04-2008, 06:56 PM

I downloaded the upgrade thru my device and it chewed up a significant chunk of device memory. Deleted the language modules that came with it and its still taking up more space than the previous version did, ouch.

I don't think I can downgrade at this point, unless I restore from the backup I made not too long ago. Gonna play with this to see what's really different.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

After I deleted all the extra language modules (delete them right from the device in Options >Advanced Options >Applications >Modules) it didn't seem that much bigger. Delete the extra language profiles for:

Documents To Go
Slideshow To Go
Word to Go
Sheet To Go

There are 3 or 4 each.

SteveO86 · **OS:** 5.0.0.320

Does PDF To Go let you edit/create PDF documents?

Redflea · **OS:** 4.5.0.131

I don't know for sure, but my quote above from the Doc2go site only mentions view, doesn't mention edit/create.

SteveO86 · **OS:** 5.0.0.320

I've been looking threw Dataviz's website and it only mentions viewing.. With PDF support buying the premium is actually looking a little more inviting... I just have a few questions and I can't find any contact email for them just enterprise...

Has anyone purchased the premium version? If so do you know how then handle getting a new device/pin changes and if it's a one time fee not something you have to re-new.

Deguello · **OS:** 4.7.1.40

...so i guess you could save/back it up, so you can reinstall it if you need to. It appears you need to buy a $2.99 download insurance in order to get further downloads, including updates. The PDF viewer is just a little bigger than Repligo Reader, but it doesn't have a "find" feature that Rep. Reader does. It is nice being able to save/share Excel 2007 with my BB instead of saving as Excel 2003.

Deguello · **OS:** 4.7.1.40

...you can download a trial that comes with a reg. number. Then when you purchase, you get a activation key, so it seems it doesn't have anything to do with your PIN.

rivviepop · 11-04-2008, 09:43 PM

Redflea · **OS:** 4.5.0.131

There are actually lang resource files for each area - docs, Sheets, slideshow, and word!

Auroraboy · 08:27 PM

I tried to upgrade to the new version on my 8820. The Download (via wifi) seemed to go OK, however when I open up Documents to Go, all I see is the "Up" and "Sheets to Go" icon. When I click on the "Sheets to Go" icon, I get an error message that says:

"Error starting Sheets to Go:Class 'com.dataviz.dxtg.common. ProgressCallback' not found.

Any ideas?

11-5-08 : I reloaded the program OTA, and replaced the non working version on my BB. Now it seems to work.

BB 8820 v4.5.0.52

Thanks

Deleted the Powerpoint viewer modules after install... trims it down somewhat.

There are more similarities between PDF To Go and Cerience's RepliGo Reader than one might first imagine – a picture says a thousand words...

I saw this somewhere else too. It's funny... DataViz get's their foot in the door by including Docs to Go with my OS update, and then slams the door shut by making PDF to Go available only as a "free" add-on to a $70 package that I don't want/need. If they made it available separately for the claimed $29.99 value (yet another similarity to RepliGo Reader), I might have just bought it without looking elsewhere. Instead they drove me look at alternatives, and I found that RepliGo Reader is (probably) the same under the hood, and [b]is]/b] available unbundled for that same $29.99, and is 20% off through Nov. 12.

To get around the "download insurance", just upgrade to the full "trial" version BEFORE entering your registration info. I've done that when wiping/reinstalling OS on my BB.

It certainly is nice having .xlsx support. Haven't tinkered around with the .pdf reader much yet.

SteveO86 · **OS:** 5.0.0.320

Sorry if this is a stupid question... but I have been trying to clear some space on my Curve so I was going to get rid of the other languages from Docs To Go..

I am just not sure which language each module refers to..

14704 DocsToGoCommonResource__de.cod - Not sure?
13108 DocsToGoCommonResource__en.cod - I know that's English..
13972 DocsToGoCommonResource__es.cod - Not sure?
14384 DocsToGoCommonResource__fr.cod - French I assume.
13636 DocsToGoCommonResource__it.cod - Not sure Italian?

Thanks.

de: German

Be sure to remove the language files for each of the individual DocsToGo apps, too.

Cool, thanks!

I've done two updates, first to 1.002 and then to 1.005, with no need to buy the insurance (so far). The way I interpret it is that the insurance may be required to download something you've already downloaded.

So, you have PDF to Go installed? If so, does it work like the other "to Go" apps in that you can use them to open an attachment without having to save it locally first? I ask because I'm in the trial period for Repligo Reader and the only way I can seem to get it to work is to open the PDF attachment in the native BB PDF viewer, and then I get an option to download it, after which I can open the file in Repligo Reader. With the free "to Go" apps I get the option to use them when I first open the attachment.

SteveO86 · **OS:** 5.0.0.320

Do they give you an .exe to download or is DTG Premium only OTA?

TonyPry · **For Documents to Go Users -** 11-12-2008, 10:59 AM

Hi we think this is a unique product, assisting in the convergence of the desktop to the Smartphone, we would like you to try it out and get your opinion.

ExSafe stores Word, Excel, Powerpoint and plain text documents securely in the cloud, providing instant shared access from your BlackBerry, desktop or laptop. Anytime. Anywhere.

Quickly locate and open a document using our intuitive interface, take advantage of our close integration with Documents To Go to make a few edits, save the changes, and you're done! No need to e-mail your changes around - the revised document is instantly available to other users within your organization.

You remain in control of what other uses can do with your documents. By default other users within your organization will have read only access. But just a couple of clicks is all it takes to keep a document or folder safe from prying eyes.

Another powerful feature is that ExSafe keeps a full history of all documents under its control and in just a few clicks you can refer back to a previous version. Our security features allow you to control how this feature can be utilized by other users - you don't necessarily want everyone to see those early drafts of your presentation!

To try it out type the following link in your Browser on Blackberrys with OS 4.5and above and Documents to Go.

Find it on mobihand.com and search for ExSafe

Other free trial visitors will be seen, which is not the case when you subscribe to deploy your own Office in the Cloud.

Thank You

jlshipp · **OS:** v4.2.2.19

IS there anything similar to documents to go offered for the 4.2 or 4.3?

SteveO86 · **OS:** 5.0.0.320

You can try eOffice.... But why not just upgrade to 4.5?

bzflagace · **OS:** 4.6.1.152

So maybe I am missing something here... I have had PDF support on my BB from day one. I upgraded the Docs to Go like those listed above with the OTA option. Worked great. However, I can no longer open PDF files. It appears that the native PDF reader is no longer being called when attempting to open the file. This is a major problem for me as I get PDF's all day long. Any ideas? Am I the only one that can no longer open PDF's?

Thanks in advance,

roofus · **What's the difference? -** 11-15-2008, 10:24 AM

What is the advantage of the DTG pdf viewer as opposed to the native bb pdf viewer?

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

The current native pdf viewer can only be used for an email attachment.

BB North of 60 · **Missed Step? -** 12-07-2008, 02:20 AM

Did you do the power cycle? The final step to the upgrade is to power cycle the BB, better yet, power down, pull the battery, count to 20, put the battery back in, and that should fix it.

As Steve alluded to, search around for 4.5.077 or 4.5.101 to upgrade your OS and join the club.

akosnitzky · 10:23 AM

When you to your modules to delete the unneeded language profiles, how do you select?

EDIT: Found it

Yes.
I may need to shell out for the premium to get the pdf. I missed that with Beamberry Free version when it was in beta.
