How to Tame your Dragon: .pdf's and Focus on the iPad

This is a note for those reading things on the iPad.



So, .pdf's are pretty funky through Focus. Here's how it works best:

1. Turn your iPad to the portrait, vertical, long mode (not the landscape, fat, wide mode you usually type in).

2. Click on the thing in Focus you want opened.

2.5 Wait for it to load.

3. Refresh your browser by hitting the little circular button next to the address in the browser bar.

3.5 Wait for it to load.

4. On the bottom left will be a little blue phrase to click: "Direct link to file."

5. Wait for it to load.

6. Open that in iBooks.

Crazy, but there it is.
