Portfolios are ideally suited to transfer the paper filing schemes of lawyers, consultants etc. to the computer.

I scan all files coming from courts, lawyers etc., and dump them in a case folder. When on an appointment, I convert the case folder and the equivalent Outlook case folder to one big portfolio.

But I cannot put the case portfolio on an iPad and use it as the digital equivalent of a real life folder - lacking a decent portfolio reader, probably due to Flash.

I do not want to hand around my notebook.

I would prefer an additional searchable digital folder.

You might want to check with lawyers, consultants etc. and you'll find, that this would be a very much appreciated app for the iPad, that people would pay for.

When searching a PDF Portfolio, that was generated from an Outlook E-Mail folder, the hit list will show hits in non-PDF documents such as Word or Excel, attached to a mail.

It is totally annoying, that you can't open these documents directly, just like a PDF, but rather need to open the PDF of the mail, then search the attachment(s), to find the hit already listed!
