Hello to all. I just bought knfb reader and I have one small question. I noticed I can export files. That's cool, except for me it does not work. Ido the following

  1. go to document library.
  2. tap edit
  3. select the document.
  4. click the file format I want in my case plain text
  5. click dropbox and or google drive

From there, the app just sits there and kicks me back to the export as dialogue. I don't see the document in my google drive or dropbox folders. it's like it never happened. Advice?

Hi,
From what I've been told that when exporting, the first thing you must do is export it to the KNFB reader file format first. Once you do that, exporting to other formats can be done. I have no idea why or how this is the case, but it is.

Hmm, that's interesting. And a bit counter intuitive. But I'll give that a try and see where that goes.

Update. Well, I don't' want to export the knfb file to dropbox. I would not want to see it again. It worked, but this is a very odd way to export a document. I'm not sure if I like it or not.
Take care.

I am having this exact same problem. I'd be interested to hear if there's a fix, or if we'll have to wait for an update.

Well I did get it to work. and it made a pretty darned good scan of the box in my hand. It did not do this well at night when my place was black as pitch, but i need to dig thorugh and read the manual and comit all of it to memmory if at all possible. so I can know what I'm doing .

anyone figured out an effective way to scan receipts? I have a couple of them here, and having all sorts of issues with them. It doesn't appear to be as simple as these receipts are very long, and getting all four corners is proving to be a real challenge.

What I would do is scan a quarter at a time. This was advice that the receipt hog folks gave me. and it works very well.
