Hi there,

I'm on pre-order for the Galaxy Note 2 with Verizon, and would like some advice on the best way to use my Note for a work application.

I would like to somehow load a copy of one of my work forms onto my Note that I can access via the home screen. I want to be able to tap each specific line on the form where I can fill in the information using the S-pen. I would also want the ability to swipe the screen to get to the backside of the form, which will be blank, to write additional comments. Then have the ability to list all completed forms by "name" into an index list. I would also like to be able to send each completed form to a printer.

I know that having someone creat an app for me is possible but I dont have the resources to spend a thousand dollars or more having this done. I'm also not the most tech savy guy in the world so was wondering if there's an app avaiable that can do this for me with relatively simple to follow direction.

Any suggestions would be appraciated.
 
You won't be able to do all that without someone writing an app for you, so you should re-think your workflow and fit it to what's available rather than the other way around.

What format are your 'work forms' in? If they're Word documents then you could add a section for comments to them and use an app like OfficeSuite to edit them. If they're PDFs, again you could add a section for the comments and there are numerous PDF apps that let you fill in PDF forms.

Save them all in a dedicated folder and the list of files in that folder could be your index.

The only app that lets you write 'on the back' of things is the Samsung one that lets you write on photos, but this is a custom app they created to show off the phone's features so it isn't likely to be something that anyone else does. Digital files don't have a 'back', Samsung have just made it look like they do.

Printing will be a problem. If you have a Canon wireless printer there's a Canon app that can print photos and some PDFs to it, but most apps don't have a 'print' function (not that I've seen anyway).
