Hi people.
I was trying to load a few of my PDF files into my windows phone. The first obvious thing i tried was to upload them to Sky Drive and access them from there , but i realized that each time i opened the document, it was downloading from there.
What ! My file was like 20 Mb in size, full of images and stuff that i created, so it was taking time to download and load each time. My next thought was like .... Write a Windows Phone App that would contain a PDF file which i could try to access somehow. But before i started, I thought I'll look it up on the internet instead.
To my HUGE relief, I found a damn useful tool called Windows Phone Manager Tool , (http://wpmanagertool.codeplex.com/releases/view/82533 )
Try it yourself. I was able to load my Pdf files, as well as a few doc files . I had an issue with the click once version, so i tried the non click once file (which is a rar file in that codeplex site i mentioned earlier)
So all you have to do to get a PDF loaded from your PC :
1) Get a Developer Account (Hey,come on. You need to have an unlocked phone )
2) Install WP Manager Tool (non click once version)
3) Upload files from your PC .
By the way, i developer unlocked my Phone using the Windows Phone Toolkit . I also installed the 5 apps i created . (more on Windows Phone soon) . I am so in Love with my Lumia 710 . (Will do for now, till i get to participate in the next Contest )
P.s : Just a side note. If you have a developer unlocked phone , and still getting the message
"Please ensure your device is PIN-unlocked and press any key to continue..."
Then all you need to do is .. wait for it. ... remove the lock screen on your phone : D
Hope you found the tid bit useful !
