looking for a pdf reader with a certain ability - Android Apps and Games

When I was on 4.0.1 I could read the rather large pdf files (20+ pages), with the onboard document viewer, which saved the last position of the document.
Unfortunatly, this Rom was also heavily lagging on my Nexus S, so I switched back to MIUI and now ... need a pdf reader with the same ability. Adobe Reader loses track of your reading progress, when closed - are there any apps out there you could recommend? would spend up to 5 Euros for this, IF I could also use it to read my ebooks.
Thanks in advance

Ezpdf reader, it even reads texts aloud. Install ivona voice too

Looking for a RSS Reader

Is there any RSS reader that acts like Google Reader. Most important feature i need from Google Reader is the possibility to view 20 articles at a time and then mark them read and read next 20 articles. RSS Readers i've tried has options to mark all articles as read or one article at a time and since i have subscribed to many feeds with >100 articles it's impossible to read them all at once.
Try newsrob. It's on the market

i really like FastReader, also on the market
I highly recommend Feedr. It aint free, but the integration with Google Reader is excellent and it syncs fast.

What about gReader in the marketplace? It syncs against Google Reader, shows 20 articles at a time, you mark those as read/unread, you can star/unstar, etc..
I wish it stored in SD, it seems to do it to ram, but otherwise it works pretty good.
I also hear using the Android Browser to Google Reader (mobile website) works fine too, haven't tried it. It's awful in Opera, but someone suggested using the built-in browser.
Hmm, how about a good RSS Reader that supports properly import of OPML files?!?!
Is there any good rss reader, comparable like RSS Hub or pRSSreader ?!?!
I indicate those two apps, cause both can import OPML files, and most important, can keep the structure of my the RSSs, in directories...
It's hard to find a good (free) android RSS reader, cause there are many choices and most of them are more orientated to work with google reader...
Anyone??
If you have php-webspace you can use Tiny Tiny RSS on that and use my client for your phone. I just opened a thread about it in this forum, it is in "Android Development and Hacking -> Android Apps and Games -> ttrss-reader, Android client for Tiny Tiny RSS (php)"
(sry, cant post direct link because i just registered and am not allowed links to prevent spam...)

RSS full-article app?

I'm looking for a news reader that will pull the entire article instead of just the RSS feed (which is just headlines). I take the train to work every day, and I'd like to be able to read the news even when I'm underground.
Does anyone know if an app like this exists or is in development?
google newsreader from stock roms has an option to "download full article".
open app, go to settings-> google news settings -> second checkbox "pre-download text".
cannot tell the exact name, because I work on a german version of google news.
NewsRoom can do that too, but it's paid.
"Pulse News Reader"
Great rss/news reader I found yesterday
Full articles in app (click "web"), pictures, widgets
Free in the market, no ads!
[edit] I'm just looking at pulse now, and I don't think it will actually pre-fetch the articles. Sorry. Still a good reader.
Version 1.8 of Pulse News Reader (in the Market now) includes this new feature:
Offline sync: No internet? No problem. Pulse loads the news stories you read, and makes it available wherever you are.
I use NewsRob. Does offline caching to SD card and lets you configure how many articles and lets you decide what to cache (Images, articles, websites). I syncs with Google reader. I love it!

[Q] PDF viewer for editable form PDFs

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....

[Q] What's Your Favorite App for Annotating PDFs?

I've been using EzPDF for quite a bit, and their new "palm rejection" seems to simply ignore my hand and go with the S pen, which I do like.
Do you guys have any other apps you use for annotating pdfs?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
For smaller pdfs and pure annotating importing to LectureNotes is the best to me, it's simply the best note taking app there is out there and if you really want to annotate in your pdfs the functionality is just outstanding. For annotating straight into the PDFs I switch between iAnnotate and ezPDF, ez is better for annotating but iannotate is way better in handling pdfs and especially books of 500+ pages. The old Acrobat reader isn't to forget either, but for annotating there are better apps.

I do use LN for taking notes, but is there way to get the indexed pdf text imported as a text layer? I'm hoping to be able to do a search and find after I annotate.
I'll look into iAnnotate, thanks for the suggestion!
Also a LN user. Flattening the file for printing led me to the application. Indexing is my next stop.

I use EZpdf for quick changes, it works well and also supports the multi window feature. For big edits, lecturenotes is the most powerful and the only program ill use for actual note taking.
PDF text in Lecture Notes?
So I use a pdf of a textbook, and take notes directly on there.
I have been using LN for this purpose, but I really wish the text was still there as text, not as part of the image.
Is this anyhow possible?

I don't think it's possible since that's not how the app imports the PDF. However, maybe you could ask the developer since he's so awesome. If it were possible, I'd love to buy a LN-pdf editor app that allows this to happen (or maybe even a LN-pdf editor that can link to Mendeley or something).

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.
