Automatic rendering of Microsoft Office documents as PDF on iPad
Corporations often use Microsoft Office document formats but most iPad applications display these formats incorrectly. If users were unaware, business decisions could be delayed or made without all the facts.
To see this first hand, here are some sample documents as viewed within email on an iPad compared to the same documents viewed within Coaxion. This is a collection of slides in PowerPoint and pages in Word. The email display is on the left while Coaxion is on the right. The green exclamation mark was added to help surface the differences. You can click on any image to make it larger.
Even a casual examination of the documents shows how much easier it will be to hold paperless meetings using Coaxion over email - especially since you can forward your email with attachments to [email protected] for instant paperless meetings on Coaxion.
Some things that go missing include: Images, Headers, Footnotes, Charts, Axis, Watermarkers, and Formatting. This means you will miss important data like your sales projections or key details on a contact.
Here are some sample pages when viewing native Office formats in email vs Coaxion. The green ! indicates missing graphics and incorrect formatting in the documents viewed before PDF conversion.
