Free Idea – Print to iPad

I still print things… Unfortunately when I proofread, I just can’t do it on my monitor. It’s a mental block I guess. But getting my eyes mere inches away from the content, and running my fingers over it helps me.

The iPad has the same intimate feeling for content as paper. I think it’s a great opportunity for a mac developer to build a plugin to the OSX print dialog for iPad output via bluetooth. Not only is it a great way to share documents with yourself right before heading out, it’s a placebo for paper in those few times we still need it most.

    Yep, my partner and I had that idea 3 months ago, but been to busy with our own app to realize it. I hope someone does it soon.

    Well, hopefully there are more of us out there who want it, and some dev will make the jump…

  • @markofrespect Got it. While we don't have that (yet) you could export the HTML, apply your own CSS, then share that with the client.
  • @markofrespect (Great to hear) In what way do you want to customize it more? Layout?
