[Q] PDF viewer for editable form PDFs - Android Apps and Games

Hi All,
I've done a search but can't find an answer. I have a whole heap of PDF forms, ones that are editable directly on the PDF its self (like this one: www[dot]irs[dot]gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf ).
I'm looking for an android app that will allow me to edit these PDF's and save them on the phone. I've tried adobe, pdf viewer, beamreader and repligo.
Is there one? Doesn't matter if you have to pay.
Thanks.

No one? There's got to be an app out there somewhere....

s note? need a better program

Hi,
I thought using S note for note taking on pdf's would be great but it turns out that the program, in general, is note suited for how much studying I actually want to do.
First off, after importing pdf's, the SNB note file is extremely large compared to the original pdf size. For whatever reason, this just does not seem to be necessary. They should make a program that just reads pdf's directly and allows me to take notes on it, add pages, etc...
For example, I have a 14mb pdf file that turned into a 655mb SNB file. THis is absurd. S note is apparently only for small pdf's or taking lecture notes. I actually want to take notes on large pdf files.
Actually it seems like all the other problems I'm having with this software is related to this particular issue. Sometimes it will try to import a pdf, but at some point during loading (very slowly I might add) it will do one of 2 things: 1) freeze up 2) finish and start loading the snb note, but there is no snb note to be loaded so all that importing was for nothing
Is there a program better suited for taking notes on pdfs that has similar functionality as s note but is more robust?
Give LectureNotes a try. It takes a while to get used to it after switching from snote, but it's worth it. It has an amazing amount of functions and works great with pdfs. It also supports layers, so you can keep the original pdf intact and write&erase freely without disturbing the bottom layer.
For taking simple notes on pdfs there is Acrobat Reader. For more special things I recommend EZPDFReader.

Does Papyrus read PDF's? Otherwise, I think it's a fantastic note app.
Lecture notes, seconded
Lecture notes, seconded
I use it everyday in a college setting. Can't be beat.
I use both lecture notes and payrus
Payrus when I need different types off page type since I can have the same in lecture notes.
Both have great point and both missing one thing the other covers.
Best way to see which is best to you is try
LectureNotes give you a demo while payrus is free but you need to pay for extra features.
Gud luck

Does any note apps (other than Snote, thats what I use now) allow you to import PDF's? I didn't see that feature in Lecture Notes. I'm an Econ major and we have PDF's provided by the professor. I've been importing them to Snote. I don't care how big the files are. If anyone has ever done things in photoshop, you do a tiny edit on a 5mb image and then it becomes a 100mb image. I understand what it takes to edit a document and the Snote content is creates is separate of the PDF (meaning you can delete and edit infinity). Though having 64GB of space is necessary though.

Yes it allows you to import PDFs and then export them after editing. I think you need the pdf add on program (free) before it will handle them though. Ive just done a full year at uni using my note as my note taker and pdf editor with lecture notes and its never failed me. I import my PDFs before or at the start of the lecture, edit them during then export and upload to dropbox at the end.

Just as someone said above you have to install a pdf reader from the same developer as LectureNotes (acadoid) before it'll work and it's free. Then you open the pdf file just like you will with any pdf reader and select LectureNotes. Make sure that you aren't in any notebook while doing this though since it's sometimes just inserts the first page then (at least for me).
If you like to insert a blank page between you just press the hand icon and insert page before/after current page. And by the way, you might want to make sure that you import the PDF on a different layer than the one you use for notes since erasing will erase the pdf as well if it's in the same layer.

@Axel_: If a notebook is open, you open/view a PDF file (or an image) and select LectureNotes as target app, LectureNotes assumes that you want to import it into the open notebook.

Yes and that's what I like as well, however usually when I'm trying to import a multiple page PDF and have a notebook open it only import the first page ad an image using the procedure you're choosing. I don't get the option "select what pages you like to import" etcetera.

@Axel_: This is not the topic of this thread, but I am a bit puzzled. I just double-checked, when I view a PDF file using LectureNotes or share a PDF to LectureNotes and I have a notebook open, LectureNotes brings me back to this open notebook and I get asked which page I wish to import, as it should be; if the PDF file contains only one page, there is no such question, as it would be redundant, and the first (and only) page is directly imported.

Yes that's the "problem", it asks what page and not what pages to import. And if you like me have lectureslides of usually like 5 or 10 pages, I can't se why I would like to import them individually. On the other hand, sometimes I like to import a page of a book so selecting what pages (including just one, like when you export the pdf without any book open) would be better to me.
So as usual, it's not as much a bug as it is a matter of personal taste

@Axel_: Maybe you know that, but if you want to import multiple pages at once, close the notebook first and then view/share the PDF file. In this case, LectureNotes will ask you want to do with the PDF file: import PDF single page, import PDF as new pages into an existing notebook, or import PDF as new notebook; choose the second option and select the notebook. Alternatively, open the notebook in notebook overview and import the PDF file there.
The point is that when importing a single page, LectureNotes allows you to manually scale, rotate, and place it, which is done in the notebook content view, whereas multiple pages are automatically placed using the margins in the app's import settings, which is done in notebook overview. This is why you are asked about the page when importing a PDF file in notebook content view, whereas you are asked about the pages when importing a PDF file in notebook overview.

I know, and that's why I told the guy in this thread to close the notebook first
I still can't se why one couldn't get that feature iff one selected import one page only. But the reason I don't get the feature as it is now might be because I use the "press pen button and lasso" feature on the note if there's a part of a page I like to import.

ezPDF question

Im new to ezPDF (and all annotation apps) and have a question about how it works.
Is it possible to take a picture of an article from the newspaper and annotate it with ezPDF? I am not having very much luck, and perhaps its because it cant be done?
I used the app Camscanner to take the picture and crop it. From within Camscanner I then opened the article with ezPdf. However, I am unable to annotate anything. Is there another way I should be doing this?
If you are trying to edit a Web page, you first have to convert to PDF. I use Dolphin browser, which has an add-on PDF converter. Once you have as PDF, open in ezPDF. It's pretty easy.
Well, not a web page.
There is an article that is in the paper that I will need to take a picture of. I checked online and the article is not there. So, is there any way I can annotate this article? I was hoping this could be done with ezPDF.
How is everyone getting handouts onto their device to take notes on?
If the article you reviewing is a PDF, then open in ezPDF. If not, you first have to convert to PDF.

[Q] PDF printer/converter with "multiple pages per page" option

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for an Android app that converts/prints documents (.doc, .ppt, even other PDF) to PDF, but with a twist: I need it to be able to put multiple pages on a single page.
My user case is the following: I have a PPT converted to PDF, where each page of the PDF is a single slide. However, I want to make it a PDF with 2 slides per A4 page, right there on my tablet (I do know how to do it on the PC). Note that I already have apps that print to PDF, page per page! What I still couldn't find is one that has the option to put multiple pages on a single page!
Is there an android app that can do this?
