Excalibur View on a tablet
I'm building Excalibur View for iPad and Android tablets now. Same drawings, same markups, same Office server. It isn't out yet, and I'd rather tell you when it is than guess at a date here.
Email me when it's outWhat carries over
Nothing to move over, and no second copy of the job to keep in step.
The same drawings
The PDFs you already have, opened on the tablet. Nothing to convert and nothing to upload anywhere.
The same markups
Markups are ordinary PDF markups, so what you draw on the tablet opens on the desktop, and the other way round.
The same Office server
A tablet connects to your office's server and works off the same sets and markups as everyone else in the office.
What it will cost
The same as the desktop. One person working alone uses it free, paid work included, the way the desktop app is free today.
An office's paid features come from its Office server, not from the app store. If your office runs Office, the tablet gets them from your server.
The app store handles the download and the updates, the way it does for every other app on the tablet.
What it sends
Nothing to me. No analytics, no ads, no tracking, and no account with me to make. It talks to the Office server you point it at, and opens a web page only when you tap a link.
Hear when it's out
One email when the tablet app is ready, and nothing else. Until then, the desktop app runs on Windows and Mac.
