Have visually impaired apple user friend. He needs to enlarge medical questionnaires on ipad to submit. Need to a) enlarge somehow to print or b) select document, email to friend (me, windows user) to enlarge document and email back. Can anyone help? Thanks
iPad, believe most current ios
You cannot make changes to a website, you can only zoom in on the print. That can be done by using a finger to double-tap on the screen or to pinch-zoom. You did mention zoom, but you made it sound as if that was only one option. You mention submitting, were you actually referring to enlarging the questionnaire to print and then work with, or to fill them out on the iPad and then electronically submit?
Guess we need to clarify that.
If you go into Settings>General>Accessibility, there is a zoom setting. You can also find a slider to enlarge text, but that only applies to dynamic text, and you would have to test the website for that one. Dragging with multiple fingers can also control the zoom percentage. You might want to take a look at the iPad User Guide for additional information about Accessibility on the iPad. http://help.apple.com/ipad/9/
There is also a support section for Accessibility features: http://www.apple.com/support/accessibility/
Thanks Chris, but apparently the enlarge only works on the display, does not effect the print font size. Not sure there is a good solution for him.
I think he would prefer enlarging to print it out to work on. He needs to get dates,names, medical info etc. Not sure what all he needs. If he could print it out, assemble the info, then he could fill it out and mail it in. It's a Kaiser Permanente form so I have not seen it. I told him if he could log on, copy the form and either embed in email or attach, email to me, I could enlarge and email it back. He struggles with that also.
I wonder if this is a pdf document. If so, then you may not be able to do anything with it. The forms I looked at are pdf files, but I didn't look to see if they are locked, so it may be difficult.
