Photo to PDF

 

Photo to PDF allows you to take a photo and save it as a PDF. You can optionally choose a photo from the photo library. Multiple photos can be taken and then saved as a single PDF. If you press the Edit button, you can delete and reorder the photos that have been taken. Use this feature when you need a quick chart on the gig and they have only a limited number of charts available. Good for a quick and dirty chart to get you through the gig.
If you turn Lo Res on, then the pictures will be converted to a lower resolution. This will result in faster page turns at the expense of some clarity. Very useful for the iPad 3 and above.
