ch66 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I started out using storyist on my iPad and was syncing my work to my dropbox account. Later I got an macbook air and synced my dropbox account to my macbook and also bought the storyist app for the macbook. So now when I go to my dropbox folder and attempt to open my work with storyist, it says storyist cannot open the file because its in pdf format. And it also does not work when I try to import my work from within the app from the dropbox. Can someone plz help me with this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hi ch66, Welcome to the forums. It sounds like maybe you exported a PDF from Storyist for iOS to your Dropbox folder. Storyist doesn't open PDF files, so when you drop a PDF on the Storyist app icon, you'll see that message. Storyist does open Storyist projects (.story files) and many other text file types, and you'll find the list here: http://storyist.com/mac/docs/#importing-existing-work Is the work you're trying to import in one of these formats? -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch66 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 So when I was writing on my iPad, the work was getting exported as an PDF? Thats the format its in now. But the app on the Macbook doesn't open PDF flies? Is there anyway for me to change it from PDF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi ch66, Yes. Just export as RTF or plain text instead of PDF. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marguerite Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 At the risk of being the dumb kid on the block, if ch66 has Storyist on both iPad and Mac, why does he need to export at all? If the master copy is on Dropbox, can't he set it up to sync as a .story file and open it in both apps? That's what I do. Best, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi M, Good point. Yes, if ch66 is editing a Storyist project and just wants to sync between Storyist on iOS and Mac, there is no reason to export to another format. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
