Best workarounds for offline educators? Message-ID: @arky wrote: How to save a PDF on iPhone/iPad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6A1ezWzG4I Priceless. Thank you. Is there anyway we can offer this iBooks app offline? (for iPhones etc that require saving PDF's locally, but are not yet capable, if iBooks is indeed the best way forward?) Thanks all who can help here, as hand-me-down iPhones are beginning to appear in the Android/Windows-centric developing world: https://github.com/iiab/iiab/issues/1107 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's heavily QA'd on a daily basis thanks to a number of *quite incredible volunteer contributors*, and as a result is already in use in a few production environments. FYI it is a step up from Internet-in-a-Box 6.6 released on Sept 12: https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-6.6-Release-Notes (Like Ansible 2.7, Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish also arrives in just a > few short weeks...and while 18.10 will *not be formally* supported as > it's not an LTS OS...it just might possibly work with IIAB, with very minor > tweaks!?) > > > ** Thanks for helping us all make the transition to Ansible's new versions > for 2019 ~ do send me a quick note anyone who can run a couple test > installs in coming weeks ** > > > *In Other News: IIAB 6.7/master is definitely starting to shine now, with > several install process wins now (faster & cleaner install process, with > near-immediate remote access during provisioning!)* > > *...and a sneak preview of even bigger things scheduled to land on Tuesday > Sept 25 :) * > > Copy Content Packs to/from USB sticks/storage > https://github.com/iiab/iiab/issues/828 > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
