[QUOTE="Brad Harris, post: 66858, member: 380"] Thanks for all the replies, it has made me slightly more curious about the platform. I currently am using an iPad and trying to make it a streamlined process to take care of paperwork and details for events. I'm slowly putting together a FM database to use on it that hopefully will put everything in one spot, but if it can already be done ....... Currently my workflow is as follows: -Documents to go, which I can dump office/pdf files across from my PC to the iPad in a logical manner -Neu Annotate, when I need to add elements to pdfs, create new pdf, etc -Paper, to create handwritten documents -pdf printer, to create pdf from existing documents, websites And a bunch of other programs on occasision to put information into a folder in Documents to Go. I'm wondering if Android would be a better platform (I know Filemaker won't put out an app for thier databases for android), to utilize these (or similar) apps better? Can you call up any related program to 'send' a document to? Or subject to popularity and developer insight to allow it? The iOs versions are hit and miss for 'Open In'/'Send To' for manipulating documents between programs. Or does anyone know if the new Filemaker Go 12 can handle 'launching' pdfs from container fields at the minimum, or a way to launch an editor for office files and have it all linked? I'm sold on the iOs style platform as far as ease, speed and access is, but maybe I'm looking for more of a traditional platform program with the bulkier, slower hardware (I prefer carrying around a non PC tablet vs a PC - tablet or otherwise) I'm not looking at this as far as console control or otherwise, just maybe a better way at trying to keep track of paperwork and data for shows.
