Does wilcom have an android app that can be used on samsung phones?

I doubt it. But for what purpose would you want a wilcom app? For digitzing and editing on your smart phone? lol! Or just for viewing stitch files?

viewing....emailing to customers.... small things that can be looked at while on the move instead of having the customer wait till I get back in the office

So basically you want the ability to view a stitch file. As far as emailing designs, proofs, etc. you can generate .pdf's or .jpegs of designs created in Wilcom and email them. My office email is on my phone as well, so any proofs I send from the office are in the sent items on my phone, thus giving me mobile access to them anytime.

I guess I'm just misunderstanding exactly what you want to do. Because other then viewing actual stitch files on the road, I can't see any value to an app. If I am missing something, please clarify it for me. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what I can't do on my phone other then view a stitch file, which isn't really a big deal because 99% of my clients will email me art files which I can view easily on my phone. And once I digitize it, I shoot proofs right from my digitizing computer which gives me access to them on my phone.

How can you create pdf from Wilcom?
I can not find it anywhere.
I would like to know.
there is a really good option for mobile apps. you can get a Western Digital network drive that you would install it in your home network (can buy it at best buy for $150), then you can download a free app called WD2GO that will access all your files using your iPhone or android phone from anywhere.
from iPhone using WD2GO you can read any xls,doc, ppt, pdf, jpg, etc file.
unfortunately stitch files can not be read, so you will have to convert to pdf, that is what i do not know how to do it to be able to take advantage of this nice app.

When u hit print, ur choice of printers will come up. Open that dialog box and one option should be .pdf. It's that simple.

Have installed driver and now my mobile app is working just great.
I can chi my design database anywhere.
