I need to highlight and possibly annotate pdfs on my android phone (and eventually my android tablet when I get one).
Is such an application available?
Is it being developed?
As a student I would find this invaluable and it's annoying to see the Apple iOS managing it so well.
not a single one to date. I am still looking for it. Seems nobody is working on it.
I read somewhere that foxit were working on an android app. But that was in May 2009.
I wonder what's taking so long.
It really angers me that no such tool exists on Android. Some people say the iphone is a toy. But there also seems to be a lack of decent productivity software on Android making it far more limited.
I was considering an Android tablet in the future, eg the Notion Ink, but what's the point if such basic tasks cannot be carried out?

Repligo, ezpdf, kobo to name a few.
My advice is for ezPDF Reader

Hello,
My phone is the HTC EVO Slide. My question is relating to whether or not there is an application that would give the phone the ability to save or convert word, text, excel documents into PDF documents. Something similar to the ability of the Cute PDF driver on the Microsoft Windows operating system? I have Quick Office Pro installed on my phone and it cannot do this. I am willing to pay for this functionality. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter
I'm also very interested in it.
Somebody who can help us?
+ 1on this.
I really need something like this, but Primo PDF kind of product as I often need to send a doc from my google docs to someone, if and PDF is the best way.
word to pdf
there's an app on adroid market called pdf converter. It takes documents in almost any format and converts it on a server in the internet to a PDF file. hope this helps.
People,
I don't know about you guys, but as an engineering student I use a lot Latex to produce documents (articles, presentation, reports, etc...). However seems that a good app to latex edition is lacking in the android world. The hard time to deal with a latex document is having a high number of files and sub-files, and need to be compiled in order to get the final result, a pdf ou dvi file.
Testing alternatives, I found that the compile part is easy, since, as done in the iOS, the best alternative to the 1GB program needed is a remote compilation in a server. Some schools have it, some web applications already use it, and even verbetex (the only LaTex app, besides its limitations) use this approach. For instance I leave you a great project, but a little bit stoped this days..
http://dev.latexlab.org/
The main limitations all the apps and web-service present is file manipulation and text editing. Neither can be good in both, wich is essential. The project I showed could be great if, besides google doc integration (allowing cooperation), I could easily manage the file as its possible in http://www.scribtex.com/. However, the best integration in file manager would be using dropbox, where easily one can add files from desktop, or web browser, editing in normal Latex tools, or in the fly in our tablet or webservice.
Besides a webservice seams a good alternative in desktop, android browser is still not so easy to use. So a dedicated interface, wich allows multiples tabs, to edit multiple files, syntax highlighting, files manipulation with integration and sincronization with dropbox, and some other text edition addons with the possible to online compilation in a remote server would be a very nice app for our android, and mostly for TF since it have a dock.
I don't have for now programming knowledge to promote this type of project. Figuring current available apps using dropbox, remote servers, and text manipulation, I assume necessary tools are available, so I let year a challenge to the brilliant guys in XDA, offering me to test, and when finished to buy it (if it would be a generic code editor for differente languages, allow dropbox and ftp integration, for sure that 10 bucks or more would be a good price for start).
Hope some one respond to my call!
I can think of another use for Latex..........
SORRY! HAD TO SAY IT!!!
I also happen to be a student who regularly use LaTeX for academic purposes. In my opinion, the best solution that exists now on the Transformer is using Vim for editing the tex files, and using sftp to upload it to a server and then ssh to compile it. The later parts can be put into one shell script, and can be executed within vim each time you want to compile the file that you are editing.
As to the editor itself, vim is exactly what I use on my regular laptop for LaTeX editing. I can hardly think of any editor better suited for the job (though some might suggest emacs, but that is another story). Someone has compiled vim for android and you can find it by googling "vim android". I have tried it myself and found it quite usable with the dock. You can even use the excellent vim-latex plugin to help you simplify the editing of latex files.
Vim is too hardcore for me I have it already setup, but not all latex guys like to do it in the terminal
i found this, in my g3 and nexus 7 looks really nice, and the html tag manual is really nice too.

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way of getting Linux with GUI to work, my laptop recently stopped cooperating and I would like to replace it with my phone.
I got myself Samsung DeX pad and it's handy and all but I would like to use the phone for programming, mainly java so Eclipse would be nice.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
