How I Use My iPad for Public Speaking
I use my iPad when I preach instead of paper notes and I often get asked what software I use.
I was using a program called iAnnotate PDF, but I’ve sinced moved to a program called PDF Expert. I like this one more because it is far more user friendly without sacrificing the features that I need it for.
How I Use It
- I write my message file in Word on my Macbook.
- When it is done I save it as a PDF to my Dropbox account.
- I then load the PDF from my Dropbox on my iPad.
- Then I open it with PDF Expert and I’m off and running.
Here is a sample page from my last message.
Features
It allows me to edit my message file on the go. Since I have it saved as a PDF and loaded onto my iPad, I only want to make last minute changes or emphasis instead of reworking the entire file. I can easily write with my finger on my file or it quickly allows me to add text. When I’m reading from it on stage I can swipe between pages with my finger or simply press once in the margin (which is how I use it). Couldn’t be simpler. While I primarily use it when I preach, I’ve also used it to read through a few eBooks in PDF form. It allows me to highlight passages and then organizes them in a similar fashion to what I have with my Kindle app. Very convenient. I’m not really in the habit of using PDFs for business deals but it is also loaded with a bunch of helpful features if that would apply to you. Click here to download it for yourself. It costs $9.99 but I consider it well worth it if you do any type of public speaking.
