If I press on the box, it opens Goodreader and automatically downloads and puts a copy into the Goodreader file system.

Download from email/Safari: When I view a pdf document in my inbox or Safari, a box opens on the top right hand side of the screen which gives me the option of viewing the file in Goodreader.

The difference between downloading and syncing is that although both download a copy from Dropbox to my iPad, if I select the sync function, it synchronises with my Dropbox as above.

Downloading: I can download folders and files from my Dropbox as well.Once it is downloaded to Goodreader, you press a 'sync' button every time you want to synchronise the file or folder on Goodreader with the file or folder on Dropbox. All you have to do is open the 'connect to servers' menu on the right hand side and, assuming you have put your Dropbox account details into Goodreader, you can access your Dropbox folder and 'sync' any file or folder with your iPad. Synchronising: I use Dropbox to store the files I work with, and Goodreader can access and sync with Dropbox so that it always has the most up-to-date version of the file or folder that I am dealing with.Folders and files are added into Goodreader by a variety of ways. On the left hand side are folders and files. The start screen of Goodreader is set out below (please note that for confidentiality reasons I have redacted certain folder names). The program is a powerful pdf annotator, and it allows the user, while viewing a pdf document, to bookmark pages, make notes and search the document. I mainly use it to view briefs (scanned in pdf format) while in conference or in Court and to download and read cases and authorised legislation while on-the-go or in Court. Goodreader is a pdf viewing and annotating application. I thought I'd have a go at giving a review of Goodreader which is an app that I find to be very valuable for my practice. His site Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?is full of reviews and tips on how to set up an iPad. I got most of my tips on how to set it up from Kyle McDonald, another blawging barrister. I use it in Court, mediations and conferences to take notes, draft documents and research legislation, cases and commentary.

I find that my iPad 2 is an invaluable tool for my legal practice.
