Just a little gotcha I discovered a few minutes ago. So, my client often sends me lists of things I have to fix in the code, as messages in Slack. I've decided to make those things into ToDo lists, in PDF files, so that I can check items off as I go.

I took a screenshot of the message and used Adobe Photoshop to convert the PNG file to PDF. I forgot to give the file an extension of .pdf and so the Digital Paper App would not synch that file to the RP1. Once I changed the file extension to .pdf, the file transferred fine.

The resulting PDF file is in landscape mode. I suppose I missed some option to convert it to portrait mode. It's ok, I can work with it this way.

Oh, and Two Page Mode is excellent and such a great way to work. Handwritten notes on the left, and reference document on the right, or vice-versa. Of course, you can write on both sides.
