Finally, after several requests from android developers, there is an app that will let you fill out forms and view PDFs in ICC Colors. This is the first app that will let you fill out forms that companies or people made using Acrobat. This was what I was missing on my xoom and why I had to get an Ipad for business.
This App is in its 2nd stage beta release and is not out for public. Below I have copied the changelog and the link to the apk, which has to be installed manually.
P.S More changes and updates are still coming and this IS a beta release.
New features in this release:
· Text markup tools – Highlight, underline and cross out
· Fill and save PDF forms
· PDF file association – qPDF Notes should now work with your file
manager
· Free text annotation tool to add text boxes
· Support for documents that use ICC colors spaces
· Added stability and better performance
To download and install, you will first need to enable the installation of "non-Market" applications by going to Settings -> Applications and then choosing the Unknown Sources entry. After you've changed this setting, you can download qPDF Notes from:
http://www.qoppa.com/android/demo/qpdfnotes.apk
I've been wanting the ability to do this forever.

Are You Sure . Even Computer You Need To Download Another Software .
Fab! Just what I needed
Hi
Been looking round for an app like this for a while. This seems to do exactly what I want it to (thanks!)
Do you know when it is due for public release? Would love to start using it but without the "demo version" watermark!
Kim
Does it handle JavaScripts within PDFs, or only allow filling out of form fields?
I'm curious because most (even desktop) third-party PDF apps only allow form filling (if at all) and very few can run the javascripts embedded in more complex PDF forms.
I got "java.lang.NullPointerException" on Xoom wifi 32gb. I attempted to pull from a stored file located in my download folder through the software's interface. I then attempted through dropbox. When I pulled it through dropbox it gave me an option to open with different software I have on my XOOM. I select Qpdf and got the save fail code. The file that I used is the same that I utilize via pdfexpert on my ipad.
I hope this helps.
Thank You
On the HTC EVO is doesn't show when choosing on a drop down list.
It does show the list though.
Great work.
I had PDF Expert before I sold the ipad and I've been missing this.
For an alternative, you can check the application called 'Fill and Sign PDF Forms' that is free and available on Android Market.
Will it work on the Xoom ? i need an app like this for model releases
Nice work. Good to see someone working on a viable PDF solution.
Any plans to implement the ability for digital signatures (either via using finger on screen, or stylus)
Keep up the good work.
NIce! I'll give this a try!
xoom not loading files
I tried opening a password protected PDF from school didn't work does the application have that ability
14.99? a little steep eh? appreciate the work and i think you have a great product here but thats excessive

Hello all,
Just wanted to make you guys aware of an app that I installed yesterday to convert images and docs to pdf. I have used quite a few of these before however this particular one has been redesigned and is of excellent quality. The new version has been on the market since the 8th july 2011.
The app itself is easy to use and the quality of the pdf's produced are very good. You can also enhance images when creating your pdf's if the images are not that great and they do improve considerably. You can also choose from a number of different paper sizes and the orientation of the docs you produce.
Another excellent feature is when you create multiple pages, you can reorganise the order of the pages by dragging and dropping before creating the pdf.
To view your pdf's, after loading pages and ordering them to your liking, click on the view button and choose your preferred pdf viewer and save as necessary.
Search for "scantopdf free" by a company called "NYM computing"in the market, the free version is fully functional without ads and watermarks however to support the developer, I have purchased the app as it is currently under £1.
If you download and like the free version, leave your positive comments for the developer.
Update: 7/13 - added free version (ad supported) to market.
I've always wanted a very simple app to let me have lists on my phone - shopping lists, to-do lists, etc, but it seems like the ones on the market have too many features that get in the way of easily creating lists, adding items, marking items as complete, and that's about it. So, I went ahead and wrote my own.
As of now, I'm happy with the app, and I've been using it for a couple of months now with no problems. But, being my first Android app (I am a professional programmer, but work in the web & desktop worlds), I'm sure there are opportunities to add features/functionality that would enhance the pure list-making experience. I had though about drag-and-drop reordering of the lists, but that seems to be more difficult to implement than I anticipated. Aside from that, I'm all ears about how to make the app better, prettier, more efficient, and more useful.
See attached for screenshots:
1) Main Screen - add/delete/backup/restore lists here
2) Back up is a simple SQLite DB file copy to the SDCard
3) Here are items in one list. Notice that some are gray - these have been "cleared" or "marked" as being complete by the user, via a simple click/toggle. An item's "cleared" status persists in the database
4) Once you're done clearing items, you can remove them from the list and database. Or, alternatively, you can unmark all of them.
See attached for APK file...
As I said, any suggestions or criticisms would be welcomed - but keep in mind that this app has a narrow focus, and I want it be very good with regard to that focus.
EDIT: Forgot also that now the app has a minimum SDK version of 8, so this app will run on Froyo (2.2) and above
I've done quite a bit more work, and now this app is available in the Google Play store. Since I don't have 10 posts yet, it won't let me include a hyperlink but here's the URL:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kozzer.lists&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rb3p6ZXIubGlzdHMiXQ..
You can also find it easily by searching on my Google Play developer name: WebKozzer.
The additions include:
* drag and drop reordering
* 2 themes (light and dark)
* Optional numbering of list items
* Edit list name, or item text
* Delete contents of list without deleting list itself
* Configurable backup path
and more!
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
Added free, ad supported version to the market. Any feedback or feature requests would be welcomed. I was contemplating attempting to integrate voice commands. Like, once the app is open, you can use voice commands to do everything the app lets you do via touchscreen. It appears that this would require a fairly significant coding effort, and I'm not sure how useful that'd be either.
Both the pay and free versions have been updated. Some UI changes, undo functionality, and ability to add items using voice.
Play links:
Pay version
Free (ad) version
Update: 12/12 - Removed ads from Lists! Free.
Also/including:
More general cleanup
Removed network state / access permissions (since they were used for ads only)
APK size reduced by about 100kB (removed AdMob library)
Improved error handling
nice job keep working on it

Thanks! I'm always open to criticism and feature requests! And giving a rating and/or review on the Play Store would be much appreciated.
There are numerous threads about the several high-quality inking/note-taking apps available. Quite a few of the apps have very responsive developers striving to meet the requested needs of their users. This thread hopes to capture most requested features of the "ideal" inking/note-taking app for all those developers to consider incorporating to their respective products.
I'll break the features into categories, and encourage others to do the same (and to add categories that I fail to include). I'll begin with the feature I consider to be most sorely lacking from all apps so far.
CROSS-PLATFORM INTEGRATION
1. Notes/notebooks are in a format that can be accessed/edited natively without conversion/import/export from Android and PC, minimally, and from iOS/Mac optimally.
2. In lieu of "native" format integration, the app allows a "one-button" default export/import option, essentially a "quick-save" and a "quick-load" button.
Quick-save feature: Allow me to open a note, add some on-the-fly content, hit the "quick-save" button, then find it moments later on my PC synced via Dropbox. (I want to be able to do this without having to click through multiple file saving/export/location options each time, probably by setting up my default file type/location, etc., and having the title auto-generate with a time-stamp or similar.)
Quick-load feature: Similar, but in reverse. The quick-load button will automatically open (and "import" if necessary) the default file in my Dropbox that I use for ongoing notes at my PC. The goal is to hit one button and have my most recent file of ongoing notes from my PC open, without going through the whole import routine/screens. (And after editing on my GNote, I would hit the "Quick-save" button to easily make the updates available on my PC again.)
NOTE CONTENTS
1. Easily incorporate ink, typed text, drawings/paint, images, imported files, etc., on the same page of a note. (Freenote is strong on this as well.)
INKING EXPERIENCE
1. Ink directly on the page at any location.
2. Option to ink in large strokes via an input panel that captures the ink and then scales and inserts it in a straight line at the indicated cursor point (This is currently one of Freenote's most distinctive features; 7Notes has similar but less well-developed functionality.)
3. Optional palm rejection
4. Configurable stylus button (LectureNotes does a great job with this already)
5. Configurable list of default pens
6. Ink format allows for OCR/text-searchable export to Evernote
NOTEBOOK EXPERIENCE
1. Both a GUI-based and a menu-driven ability to switch between notebooks. I want to be have a screen that shows all my notebooks with spiral-bound notebook icon or similar, but also want to be able to switch from one notebook to another through a drop-down menu available from any page.
DRAWING/PAINTING EXPERIENCE
1. Palette of default shapes/objects to draw into the note. (LectureNotes does this well.)
2. Palette of painting brushes tools with their names/key features listed beside them for those of us that don't recognize them from icon only!
LAYOUT/VIEW
1. Ability to view 2 pages from different notebooks side-by-side for ease of copy and pasting between them; ideally able to lass & drag from one to the other.
2. "Floating" settings: Ability to resize the window so that the app floats. The goal might be to "float" my preferred note app over top of another app in the GNote's split-screen mode. Example: I have the browser and S-Note open on my GNote. But I prefer Freenote, so I have the option to "float" it over top of S-note, so that I can access Freenote with the browser still open beside it.
That's what I have off the top of my head. I hope others of you will add to this list, and that developers of ALL the great inking apps will add their insights as well to explain which features are or are not feasible and why.
JC
I think you covered it pretty well. One thing that's also important is a user-friendly interface-easily understandable and customizable.
I would like to see some if not all of the following features, I know some of them may be big asks but ideas can be taken from the examples:
It would be good if we can have a secure folder for private notes i.e. minutes of meetings that have sensitive information , ideally industry standard encryption.
Handwriting conversion at a later time similar to 7Notes / OneNote
Sharing notes for collaborative working in a format that other apps can read for editing.
Interface needs to be as clean as possible with only essential tools showing as and when needed.
Create our own templates or import from the community using the app.
That's it due now!
For me, PDF import is probably the most important feature.
I'd like to see more apps with the ability to transcribe your handwriting into typed text. That's why I haven't used any other note taking app besides S-Notes. I use that feature all the time. I write in my own handwriting but the output is much cleaner and I can fit more notes onto one page.

Have you tried 7notes? This app does what you have described and for me personally, I feel that it is more accurate than the Samsung handwriting keyboard. If you use the 7Notes app that comes built in for taking notes, you can write in your handwriting and have them converted into text at a later time.

No I haven't tried it because I wasn't aware of it. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow and I'll post back with my results. Thanks for the suggestion!!

7notes is only useful for a couple of words at a time.
What's needed is the ability to convert handwritten notes at a later time. ( aka "S Memo" feature - Handwriting to text).
This should be a basic requirement in all worthwhile handwritten note-taking apps.
I'd add the following "wishlist" (dreamlist) items:
INKING EXPERIENCE
Possibility to select ink (words, sentences) with a free-hand lasso (LectureNotes has it and it's a great and very useful feature) to be moved-resized-rotated-copied-deleted(-edited?).
Possibility to insert text boxes with the additional option to edit them at a later time. With S Note you can insert text in a box but you can't edit it later, i.e. to change a single word (correct me if I'm wrong).
Math formula recognition and translation into a typographic form, like in S Note, and, in addition, possibility to edit the "formula box" at a second time (i.e. for making some correction).
Possibility to use layers (many apps, including Lecturenotes have it, but S Note hasn't)
ANDROID OS INTEGRATION
Possibility to create small note widgets.
In practice a note app that could include all the best features of LectureNotes and S Note would be rather close to my "Holy Grail" note-taking app
I would like an ability to select diagram only template, that can be saved as SVG or VSD format.
Ability to open and edit existing onenote documents.
Cross-platform integration is key for me.
Saving notes in a bitmap image (png, bmp, jpg etc) or pdf format, is completely unacceptable.

I am not sure if I understood your comments but I have made some screen shots to show how the notes can be written and then converted at a later time.
If what you meant by a "couple of words at a time" when converting the handwriting then you are correct in your description. The words are converted as you proof read what has been written in your handwriting and you make corrections along the way so what you end up with is your handwritten notes, converted to what was intended.

Thank you for the time/effort in generating the attached screenshots. Much appreciated.
What I had in mind was to be able to scribble/write all over the screen like we do on regular paper.
This would give me better control of the use of the page space and afford me speed.
Then in editing/formatting at a later time, convert the handwritten notes to text, and drag&drop to place it wherever on the page.
What 7notes has appears to have been a keyboard replacement (alternate input method) designed for regular tablets/phones that do not have a digitizer, hence the writing window area limited to the bottom of the screen (with the text then placed at the Cursor position).
I hope I have been able to clearly express myself.
Hi guys, I created a note taking app... hey! don't run away! This one is different, really.
I started developing a note taking app following my personal wishlist:
- Offline access.
- Option to sync the notes with my computer, but hopefully using.
- Read the notes easily with any text editor.
- Simple formatting.
- Simple organization with tags and folders.
So I started developing Capsa Notes, and then, as a former ORG-Mode user (not a power user though), new ideas came into my mind.
Capsa Notes saves your notes in plain text in your device. So if you want to read them without using Capsa Notes, it's OK. And if you add a new text file in the Capsa Notes folder, you will see the note in the app. The notes can have simple formatting using Markdown, so you can easily add bullets, numbered lists, titles, etc. It has a nice Markdown editor with buttons for the most common format options. And has Dropbox sync out of the box.
If you want a quick introduction, here's a video:
Capsa Notes is intended to be as simple as the user wants. I mean, if you want basic features, there they are, and you will be using it in no time. But also it has some advanced features that makes Capsa Notes like a simple (not fast, sorry) non-relational database, flexible enough to use it for... well almost anything I guess, it has a lot of possibilities.
I use it to store recipes, keep a log of the wines I've tasted (and then remember if it was good or not, or which type statistically I like the most), quick reminders, todo lists, shopping lists, write ideas for short stories...
Basic use
The notes are plain text files with the .md extension.
So in my desktop computer I can add a note in my Dropbox folder, and I'll have it on my device as soon as it has been synchronized.
Notes can have tags. Tags are saved directly in the text file, so you don't have to worry if you take the note somewhere else, as the tags will still be there. Then you can filter the notes by tags using the sliding drawer, where the used tags are listed.
Now, the folders: Capsa Notes uses folders in a slightly different way. Each folder must be associated to a note. So basically, in Capsa Notes, folders are notes that can contain subnotes (in fact, the folders are called Capsas for make the differentiation from a standard folder). In the app you don't have to do anything special, just create a note and then attach a folder to it using the action menu. Then you can add subnotes (and subnotes to each subnote if you want, and so on). If you want to manually create a Capsa (that is, a note with a folder attached), create a note, and then create a folder with the same name as the note without the extension. That's it.
You can import websites in Capsa Notes, they will be converted to Markdown (I created this project for that purpose, if someone wants to contribute, is more than welcome), and has a simple article extractor based on Boilerpipe for retrieving the main content.
Your notes can be shared as a plain text file from the app, and also as a html file. If the note contains images, the image will be reduced and encoded in the HTML file.
You can create templates too, so in case you want to add always the same note structure with minor changes, you will be prompted with a dialog asking for the fields you defined in the template (check the video for an example).
Advanced use
Notes can have variables. You add the variables defining them with a dollar sign and then the variable value. For example $milk 2 means that the variable milk will have a value of 2. Variables can be text (if you want to use spaces, surround the text with quotation marks), numbers (you can use periods) or dates (in ISO 8601 format).
The variables can be used for queries, so you can create customized lists based on these variables (list the notes that have $date lower than today). Capsa Notes has a simple query editor.
Queries can be inserted inline with the text too. So you can have a note with a lot of subnotes, and then have in the text, for example, the total sum of the variable $price displayed in the main note. For adding a query, surround it with ${ and }. Queries format is very similar to SQL with some differences, you can check a simple reference here.
Capsa Notes also have Tasker integration (only in the full version). So you can trigger a task if a query matches a certain condition, or assign a Tasker variable the result of a query, and then do whatever you want with it in Tasker.
And that's it mostly. I hope you like it, keep in mind it's still in beta, but stable enough for daily usage (at least for me).

I hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for updates.
I just found the app 30 mins ago while i was browsing google play for outliners/note taking apps.
My first impression of it is very good so i googled it and this thread showed up, even better.
I like the idea of the structure and everything being easily modifiable with text editor on computer.
I will migrate my notes and use it for a couple of days and see if it fits me as good as it looks.
Nice work so far.

I'm glad you liked it. This las couple of weeks I've been really busy, so I'm focusing primarily on bug fixes. In a couple of hours an update should be live. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
Cheers
Nice, i look forward to the update.
So far i like it very much.
I've actually written down some suggestions as i tested it this morning (ofcourse i wrote them in your app )
If someone was having issues when adding images in notes with a filename containing non ASCII characters, it should be solved in the current version.
Also a couple of crashes when trying to move or delete a note before it was fully loaded.
Here are some stuff i wrote down as i tested it. I've found one minor bug, i have some suggestions and then some bigger suggestions that i imagine will take some time to implement (if you choose to).
Buggs:
"Loading note..." is stuck when created a new entry (not after editing).
Suggestions:
Making a "home" button to quickly navigate back to the start position, pehaps placed in the toolbar.
Adding so swiping works like this: List -> Note -> Home (or up one step).
Maybe add something on the front page that displays how the hierarchy looks for the notes with folders?
Something like "3 sub folders, 15 notes" just to get a quick overview.
Adding something to be able to delete notes without entering the notes one by one and pressing menu button to get the option.
Being able to mark several notes for deletion at the same time.
Adding a button like a "trash can" next to the "check" symbol when creating/editing to cancel or escaping without saving.
It would be nice to be able to change the width separator on split view.
It would be great to be able to scale the markdown bar. I for example use the galaxy note 3 and the icons are unneccessairly big on these big devices.
It would be nice to set your own colors for notes and folders.
Being able to set a real title for the note/folder that also becomes the file/folder name, instead of automaticly assigning it.
The move note, delete note and attach new folder under the menu button could maybe be icons on field that says "Notes" and take you one level up for quicker access.
When viewing a note, swiping left/right to change notes in the folder.
Big suggestions:
Being able to chose to have your kind of documents (.md) or just using it as a smart text editor with ".txt" extension.
Perhaps set this option when creating a folder so every note beneath it is formatted like that.
And maybe a selection if you want to use your header or not in the note?
When accessing the sidebar inside a note it would be nice to see the wole hierarchy, like a navigational tree.
Maybe with shortcuts so you can jump inside the navigational tree.
Adding alternatives for sorting notes in folders. Like created/edited/alphabeticly/tag (the usuals) acending/decending. And having "own" as well when you want to manually sort them.
This one is alittle bit linked to the suggestion to be able to choose a costum filename.
Support for handwritten notes? Nothing fancy like handwriting recognitions, but maybe like a simple "paint" function and saving them as pictures in the notes.
That's a lot of suggestions, thanks!
BTW, the loading note bug should be solved by now.
I will review the suggestions and get back here with what can be done, what is more unlikely, and what is incoming, thanks again!
Yes well its just suggestions, i hope you find something you like
I actually still got that loading bug. The note loads as it should but the text bubble is still there. Not a big problem though.
I've started using the app more frequently now, replacing my other note apps to get a deeper feel for it and i like the style so far. I use an app to sync the Capsa folder with my computer over wifi and then use notepad++ with an explorer extension to get tree viewing, so far it works great.
I like the open format of the app so far. Just a couple of suggestions and a question.
- The option of font size for notes is a welcomed addition. The font on the home screen didn't change. Could that be an option also?
- The insert date button uses the date dial which doesn't tell you what day of the week you are selecting. Google Keep and a few other apps use a calender date picker, which is much more functional.
Then the question: where are the .md files stored? I found some in /sdcard/Capsa Notes, but they all aren't there. I use Dropsync to synchronize with Dropbox and some files (mostly shared notes from other apps) aren't there.
I love that it's as complex as I want it to be and I can simply save notes directly into it (if I can find out where they're stored).
Good Notes!
Hi,
I'm searching for a note-taking app for a long time now and yours looks very, very promising!
My suggestions (and my needs) are as follows:
Folders
just plain folders in the root where you can put your notes in. At the moment the folders have to be attached to a note? a bit confusion. Maybe the folders could be Tabs on top of the screen just below the navigation.
Image Sizes
Images are Fullscreen in a Note, that is slow, even on my Quadcore Sony Tablet Z. maybe there should be an option how big the images should be displayed in a note (in percent) or if it should be full size or just with a thumbnail and clickable, which then displays the image.
Note Linking
why not have wiki-like notes-linking to other notes
Inline Links
Clickable inline links for URLs, maybe phone numbers, google maps coordinates, e-mails and other notes (note-linking)
Draging Notes
well, I think the draging notes function is IMHO not that usefull as they are just for sorting notes. Would'nt it be cool if the notes can be draged to a folder with that function.
Sorting
A small button on the top of the screen with sorting modes: Alphabet, Creation Date, Modification Date and Reversing the current Sort option
Searching
The most important point for a lot of notes, to find them fast. I'm missing a search field just on the top header. And an instant search would be really great to see the matching note titles, tags, note-text while you type. Maybe an option field nearby where we can choose what so search (tag or title or text or all of them)
Import
For new users with a lot of notes a import function would be great. I would suggest the easiest way would be a CSV or plain text import option via local or dropbox file should do the work.
Sync Options
Forgot to mention Sync options: small manual Sync Button on the main screen and a sync intervall in the options (1h, 3h, 5h, 1d, on change, on note save, etc.)
I think your app has really great pontential in the note-taking apps, because the dozens of apps which are available mostly have 2 or 3 of the features that would be great, but not all the mentioned, but you getting very close already now! Please go on and enhance your app. Would really appreciate this! :good:
I just bought the payed version to help you a bit to further develop your truly great app!
Greets,
Patrick.

I love that it's as complex as I want it to be and I can simply save notes directly into it (if I can find out where they're stored).

Sorry for the late reply.
If you are not using Dropbox Sync within the app, the notes should be available in /sdcard/CapsaNotes. But you must be sure that you are not using the Dropbox option within the app.
About the date picker, I will look for a nicer solution, probably a calendar would be more useful. Let me know if you find your notes in the folder!
Hey everybody!
To God be the glory, I've been making some custom roms on XDA for a while, but I have decided to try to learn some new things by taking an app developer course. I've made a few apps, and I thought I would share them here as well. This app is open source, you are welcome to go to the Github and post issues, review and or copy the code (it is Apache-2.0 licensed), or download the app and enjoy!
These are my first apps, and I know they need a little improvement. So please feel free to leave a comment! But please remember, the best criticism is constructive.
If you do check out my Github, note that just about every line of my code includes a comment as to what it does or why it exists, so if you are like me and new to Android programming, be sure to check it out to see how it works! Also, in my Github are many "small apps" in the "apps_small" repo, which are apps I either made for the class, or made on the side to test out some feature or function. Hopefully that would be useful to someone.
Without further ado:
Just notes!
This is a no frills, simple, easy to use note taking application for those times that you just want to get straight to the point. Make and take notes, as well as save and delete old notes. A confirmation box will open before you delete a note to make sure that you really want to get rid of it. You can also choose the color scheme from the settings menu with eight colors to choose from! Best of all, this open source app has NO ADVERTISEMENTS!
About the permissions:
Read and Write to External Storage - Import and Export your notes!
This will require you to grant permissions to the app to read and write to your SD Card.

@AlaskaLinuxUser, thank you for developing this nice app, which is simple, yet effective.
Here's a few suggestions:
- add the possibility to select multiple "tabs" to delete
- import notes without having to rename the file manually into import.xml
I've noticed following small issues:
- the import button seems to export too and it export before importing
- when importing the import.xml, there appear a new empty "tab"
Overall, it's a nice app.
By the way, I suggest you to add "open source" too at thread tags, as sometimes I'm checking the apps using that tag. I've found your app by checking your profile to see what you're developing nowadays. I consider myself lucky. I hope you still remember me .
I'm looking forward for your apps.
Good luck!
