   Can you export them from the program?   
   If so the easiest way to transfer data from the phone to the computer is   
   use Bluetooth. With an android phone there is on special software.  I   
   never use apple products so I don't know about those systems.   
      
   I routinely transfer pictures, pdf, and other files both way using the   
   Bluetooth connection.   
      
   Yes it is not as fast as transferring them by other means, BUT, by the   
   time you find the other program and prepare the files to send; they are   
   already on your computer using the Bluetooth exchange.   
      
   You my also look at the functions of Notepad and see if they can be   
   Bluetoothed directly from the program.
