*Desperate Help Needed*- WM7 PDF Viewer

Hey guys,
I normally lurk the forums as I'm always able to come to some sort of solution, but this time I'm truly lost! I've tried everything to find a PDF viewer for WM7 that has a search function. I need an app that can search for keywords in a PDF by tomorrow and I have tried everything from:
1. DotNetNuzzi PDF Viewer-- incredible lag, completley inoperable.
2. Convert PDF to .doc ( using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, NitroPDF 7) to search keywords in WM7 Office-- PDF formatting goes to complete ruin, no use.
3. Convert PDF to ePUB (using various online converters/standalones) to read via eBook readers from marketplace (Freda, Bookvisior)--PDF formatting goes to complete ruin, no use.
I don't know what to do, and I need to be able to search large PDF files by tomorrow. Please helppp me!

Hmm... normally I wouldn't recommend this, but maybe something like Google Docs (plus, if needed the Find On Page commandlet for IE on Windows Phone)? Another, even hackier option, would be to use RemoteDesktop (an app, does exactly what it says) and open the PDF on a PC instead. Yeah, it would lag, but a "large" PDF is likely to realllly strain the phone anyhow.
Searching PDFs is surprisingly difficult; I believe the default viewer on Android can't do it either. What do you need this particular capability for? There might be a better way. For example, I think the Adobe app lets you jump by page, so you could search text in another tool (that messes up the formatting, so long as it leaves the page breaks) and then jump to the relevant page. Alternatively, does the PDF have headers? You could navigate by table of contents, if the headers are sufficiently fine-grained...

Looking for a decent Handwriting App!

Hi,
I need something for taking notes during meetings and have tried Handrite and LectureNotes, both don't seem very receptive to my stylus (adonit pro) and have limited functionality.
Was looking for something similiar to the Noteshelf for the iPad (http://www.fluidtouch.biz/noteshelf/)
Anyone found something decent for Android?

Anyone?

I use Write and I found nearly perfect and it's free! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write

@adamj123: Consider to try another stylus, one with a soft tip, some devices seem not to work too well with stylus with a hard tip. I received several reports concerning insufficient response when using LectureNotes with a stylus with a hard tip (in particular when using the `input zone´, as recommend for capacitive stylus, both hard and soft tip), and in all cases this problem disappeared with a stylus with a soft tip.

Tried many of handwriting apps on my Note 1 and Note 10.1.
LectureNotes so far the best. Keyboard handwriting app best of the best is My Stylus Beta.
But, if some of you take paper notes like I do, and want to get them in LNotes here it is: Get Whitelines Link app from the PlayStore, go to their site and download pdf with their paper template, or buy the notebooks.
Then, you write on the paper you printed, scan it with their app and share it to Lecture Notes.
One caveat: Before you click share, open the LNotes notebook you want to import your writing to, make sure you close it while on the page where you want the imported Whitelines page to be inserted. For some reason, when sharing a picture to LNotes, when you pick a notebook, it does not let you select target page other than the last page you where on when the notebook was closed.

S-Pen and PDF, powerpoints

i just came back from best buy trying out the galaxy note, it worked amazing in the s-note. But when i opened up the polaris i wasn't able to write like you can in s-note in pdf or powerpoint. so my main question is
Is there any other office apps configured for s-pen or for polaris is there a way to write or edit pdf, and power point files. I have to do this a lot for my classes and have to do alot of printouts for taking notes for classes. so just want to know if something like that is possible

Writing on pdfs is easy. I use EXPdf or Adobe PDF. Both work well with the s-pen. For powerpoints, just convert to pdf!

do you mean ezPDF Reader PDF Annotate Form app for android. and that's great if it does work sort of solves my printing problem and at the same time never have to go nuts looking for notes during finals.

Sounds like an ad.

Do they let you free draw in the pdf file or no because that is one of my main concerns at the moment i had some time to mess around with polaris and turns out i can do little bit of free drawing in the word and powerpoint so thats not bad and also tried the ezpdf its pretty nice sucks that you can undo the pen and change the size of the pencil but still its pretty awesome so far hopefully they come out with something better

Maybe but its a really amazing app. Super insanely difficult to figure out how to use. But brilliant once you get going.

On S-note go to the menu on the top right and click import, the select PDF. It imports the PDF and lets you write on with full functionality and palm rejection. Soonr sucks. Laggiest pos app I have ever used

Most of the time I can import pdf on S-note. But some pdf files show blank pages though they are visible in adobe reader. I dont know what to do with those files...

i use .ppt and .pdf files in S-note. for the .ppt files, i use the android converter by this company. They have other convert programs to pdf so it's not entirely limited. Then i use cloudprint or canon print to print the pdf out, which works pretty well. Be advised it does upload the .ppt or .pptx to their web server and then redownloads the .pdf to the directory of your choosing so you do need an internet connection.

As for the blank pages, there seems to be a bug if you switch between writing mode and moving (or non editing mode, top button on left) while editing large pdfs. I'm still trying to figure it out but it seems if i switch to a page in non editing/drawing mode, and then click the pen, sometimes it switches to my previous page i edited on. If you go to the bottom of the page and press the arrow key going up or down in the pages, then it works. Its a little wonky sometimes

I can't open any pda in the snote program. When I select a pda file it ask me to choose a program to complete action.. This list doesn't includes snote.

When it asks you that, hit the checkbox that says do this always and hit the back button. This was a problem i had originally on mine, after about 5 times it finally loaded.

It worked. Thanks. Now I am struggling to vary the pen pressures. Is there any menu for adjusting the pressure for one of 1024 values?

Not that I can see within S note. Also only some of them are pressure sensitive.

Yes, but I tried it.. and didn't like it.. no pen annotations.. so worthless for this thread..

You can write on PowerPoint with the Polaris app that comes with the device. You can use the Kno app or snote to write on pdf's, although I don't know how to export from Kno after you write on it

[Q] Must convert .snb S Note files to PDF efficiently

Ok so in a nutshell, I am a college student with dozens of sets of imported PDF files of PowerPoints. I take notes using S Note on the PDF versions of the PowerPoints and it is incredibly functional and nice. However, I need to print these files and in order to do that, I have to open each individual file within S Note, export to PDF then print using HP ePrint. I want to be able to use Google Drive or my SD Card to access the .snb files on my computer, use a program to EFFICIENTLY convert them into PDF so I can print them with ease from my computer and store them there to avoid cluttering my device. As I said, I have dozens of sets of notes and I really do not want to export each of them one at a time. Is there any application for Android that can accomplish or, better yet, a program available that I can install on my laptop to convert the files efficiently? If not, is there a more functional way to take notes on PDF exported PowerPoints using my S Pen? I can't imagine that Samsung would be that ridiculous about making things hard for someone who wants to simply print some files on a non-Samsung printer directly from the device...

snb to pdf effeciently
I second that request - passionately. I take half a dozen multipage notes a day at work and I need to be able to archive them and access them, print them from computer (rather than a tablet). I have looked and have found no good way to process and convert snb's in mass.
Has anyone sorted out the fix for this yet? Surely it is something Samsung would be well served to address; and horrendously negligent if they do not.

SNB reader, converter...Did you find the answer?
Jkeeling43: Did you ever find the fix for this? I am still searching and I am certain lots of folks are grappling with the same problem.

[Q] File Editor App?

Anyone know any apps on the Play Store that is capable of viewing files such as .doc or .pdf and having the ability to edit it at the same time? I'm planning on using my tablet for school and I have files that my professors give to download and print but I was wondering if there's an app that can do that so I don't have to print? Thank you in advanced!
EDIT: Another example that I have are chapter lessons in my math class that I can download but I would like to be able to doodle on the file itself.

Hancom office. EzPDF.

I've tried those apps, but they're not what I'm looking for. It doesn't have the scribbling capability where I can handwrite my own stuff on the file.

Lecture Notes can hand write on PDFs (imported as images). If you want to hand write on a native searchable PDF, ezPDF does have that capability.

What about .doc files though and other MS Office files?

You could always open those in Hancom and select File-Save As PDF, and then open it in your PDF viewer of choice to annotate on it. PDF annotation on mobile viewers is sketchy, it works but performance and features vary depending on the software and complexity of the PDF you're annotating.

Yeah, what I've been using for now is the the Hancom app and I open the files through that then use my S-Pen and select "screen write" and I just do it from there. It would be much better if I find an app that does what the S-Pen is capable of without having to go to S-Notes to edit it

How to Scribble Notes
What you want to do is exactly why I bought the Note 12.2 and it is amazing!
Open your Word document in Hancom. Click "Insert" Then "Free Draw." Click on the arrow to reveal your choices.
Hover the stylus over "Line Weight" to choose the thickness of your pen. I like 6pt for jotting a few words and drawing arrows.
Then of course you can choose your colour. And away you go. You are writing directly on your Word document. The cool thing is that you can change the colour of your ink in two seconds, making it easy for you to colour code your notes.
If you make a mistake, you can scribble it out or use the undo arrow which will undo your scribbles the same way you can undo anything else in Word.
I would advise you to save OFTEN. Hancom has crashed on me a few times. I always "save as" with a new file name to my SD card as soon as I open the Word document in Hancom.
Also keep an eye on your screen. I've had my text randomly more to a different part of the page.
One last cool thing about opening a Word document in Hancom... If you want to add a long note or take notes during the lecture, when you are out of the free draw mode...after you save for example...just touch your stylus to the place in the document where you want the note. Then use your stylus at the bottom of the page to handwrite your notes and they will be converted to text right inside the document. You can change the colour and the font of your notes to distinguish them from the original ones.
Sorry if I wrote too much for my first post but the ability to easily (key word for MSP fans) use the stylus with a Word document makes this tablet completely unique.
