Anyway to work on iPad?

I see there is no iOS software… is there anyway to work on ipad? Web app? Or something? I’m considering switching from Scrivener for the auto tagging of characters and locations offered in Papyrus, but I work between my mac and ipad (I draft with the pencil on ipad, then edit on the mac) and I can’t lose my handwriting workflow.

Any workarounds that make it possible?

Hi @kojiadae, welcome to the Community! :sunny:

Yep, not on iPad at the moment. Papyrus is focused on making an awesome app for mac and Windows right now. :star_struck:

Have you used the “Copy as Text” feature on your handwritten text to bring it over to your writing app?

:cloud: If your drafts are saved as text in your Cloud storage (iCloud, Dropbox…), you can open and copy-paste them over to Papyrus on your mac.

:spiral_notepad: If you’ve got them as word files (.docx), you can drag the file directly to Papyrus, and it’ll turn into a Papyrus file (.pap).

Hope that works for you. Let me know what you think! :raised_hands:

Up until now I’ve just written directly in scrivener with the scribble feature of the iPad. So whichever method I choose will be an additional step, but it may be worth it.

You say that if the files are saved as docx I can drag them directly into Papyrus. Does the reverse work? As in if I save on Dropbox, would I be able to open the Papyrus documents as word documents so I can edit them on the ipad and then resave them to the papyrus folder?

Papyrus files (.pap) have a bunch of features Word doesn’t know what to do with (like Pinboards, Thinkboard Mind Maps, References, and more), so you won’t be able to open a .pap straight in Word.

But it’s super easy to save a copy you can open. Just go to File → Publish → Word (.docx), and you’ll have copy of your file as a Word document!
