Share PDF via Facebook Messenger
« on: June 20, 2023, 10:18:36 PM »
Just an idea for a future enhancement, the ability to add a Setlist Output PDF, via FB Messenger (I know a few bands that use this for communication) though I don't thing IOS/Android can add an attachment?

Does this require any special BandHelper functionality? I think you can just save the PDF file and then send it as an attachment through whatever messaging service you want.

Thats what I usually do, but I couldn't add an attachment via IOS, and Android wouldn't allow a PDF.

I may have missed something, but it was just an idea.

I found instructions for sending PDFs through Messenger on iOS and Android on this page:

Thanks Arlo, I gave it another try on my Galaxy Fold. Message says File can't be shared. (as per before). The instructions are from 2021, maybe Samsung had disabled it?

I just have to encourage the guys how to use BH more.

Where did you save the PDF file before trying to send it through Messenger? Maybe saving it to a different location would help?
