Hi all
Wanting to know what is the best software around for annotating PDF's?
I need one for marking up PDF lecture notes at uni next year.
Thanks
Craig
ezPDF Reader is the best ;-)
Hey,
I use ezPDF Reader and it is perfect. You can annotate PDFs, but it is also a very fast PDF Reader. It is my favorited Software in the Thinkpad.
yes,try ezPDF, I always use it to read and anotate pdf files on my phone, feel its the best on android.

I also use ezPDF. It is not perfect (perfection is Xournal on my Thinkpad X61 Tablet) but it is as good as exists on the android platform.
I long to have linux running on my TPT so I can run Xournal on it. (having Quill annotate pdfs would be close to perfect, worth paying real money for).
Thanks everyone, seems a unanimous winner to the ezPDF.
have downloaded now and all seems great. One question though, how do you change the thickness of the pen to be a bit thinner?
Touch your drawing, ->properties...
Saves it for new drawings too.
At Windows " PDF Annotator " is the best!
The software is still on the slow side it you have large books. But haven't found anything better.
Just looking at your signature. I prefer rooted stock, too. And, I agree about TPT being the best. Root on...
I can also recommend ezPDF. It's not perfect, but it works for creating annotations, although for me, there are some issues with the palm recognition.
Anyway, I would still like to have something like PDF Annotator or Bluebeam PDF Revu which are really great tools on my X61 Tablet.

Hi guys!
I just bought an HP 514 with Win mobile 6 smartphone... can you help me to find out the best pdf reader for wm6 smartphone?
Thanks!
I convert my PDFs to RepliGo
I convert all my documents and pdfs to RepliGo format. It is the easiest to use on a small screen and document compression is the best. You can print to a RepliGo document on your PC. You can also convert web pages to RepliGo format and it will auto resize large pages to fit a standard document size. It has a text search. The reader on the pda is less than 400K. The reader is free for Windows, PPC, Smartphone, Palm so if you have to share a document you can share the reader.

hard to say what is the best but there is a reader from adobe itself and i also use MobileXpdf.
Repligo has a big disadvantage.. you dont have your desktop pc with you if you get a mail with a pdf attachment
Where can I download MobileXpdf for WM 6 smartphone?
I can't find it surfing the web...
dont remember where i found it. google found it here for example:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/m/mo/mobilexpdf/
havent checked this, if you dont trust that source give me your mail adress

gciochina, where did you release that? any pointers?

foxit reader = bet pdf reader on the market.
the projects address
you can download mobilexpdf at
http://www.mobilexpdf.blogspot.com
or by going to
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mobilexpdf
PS: when foxit will be better than mobilexpdf, i'll eat it! and by the way... don't you have to pay for foxit reader (mobilexpdf is free/opensource) so not the same category...
(sorry for my english) I will try mobilexpdf, (thanks for your work gciochina). I have tried Foxit and I have uninstall it 5 minutes later. I think that we dont need a pdf reader for see little parts of a document with images, etc... For that we have Adobe Reader LE or PDF to Go, or... but a reader that extracts text from pdfs for read it like .txt or .rtf, .doc, etc... and that it allows that we pruned to read pdf ebooks without any previous transformation.
A couple questions about Adobe Reader LE
1. How do I associate .pdf files to the Adobe Reader LE? The .pdf files have the default icon for unassociated files. I tried using Resco Explorer to associate them with the Reader using "Open with". But... I get an invalid path error every time I click any .pdf file.
2. I got Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from the Extras.zip from one of the 6.0 ROM, is Adobe Reader 2.5 available in the newer ROMs?
Thanks...
another vote for the latest version of mobileXpdf. I'm using it on my HP iPaq 510 and it works great...

Ok... I was testing the new Foxit pdf reader Beta, but was annoyed by the banner that reminds one to register it. I installed MobileXpdf 0.0.6.0 using the cab available at SourceForge and I like what I see. I noticed that it was a little slow. The source for the latest version 0.0.6.2 was available, but there was no cab file availble just the source. McHale, do you know where I can get a cab file for 0.0.6.2 as it "might" fix some of the performance issues I noticed.
Thanks...

I'm using 0.0.6.0. They update CONSTANTLY so 0.0.6.2 or newer should be available soon.
The reason it is slow on your HP is because is the phone itself is slow. It takes me forever to edit contacts and do other simple things...
But, slowness aside, I really like the HP 510. For someone who isn't a power user of Windows Mobile applications besides the basics, it is perfect.

MobileX is better than adobe. Thanks. But personally pdf's just plain suck period on my shadow. I installed acrobat pro just to convert pdf's to html which works much faster. Foxit in ANY shape sucks balls. (try pdf-xchange viewer)
A tip for those using adobe reader le version 2.5 to read pdf files
To make the text fit to page and great to read, try adjusting the zoom level to 100 % or 105% using the plus or minus buttons [or from the menu], next click on 'tools' [ bottom left hand corner of screen], select 'view' then select 'reflow', the result should be an improved layout of page info and text, the only thing is you will have to go thru this process everytime you open a new pdf file.
'Reflow' in Adobe reader was the clincher for me - it officially does everything I need a PDF reader to do.
Opens large files quickly
Reflow for easier on-screen reading (reading that technical manuals that I do needs some level of formatting retained)
Rotate for landscape reading
It's fast (I quickly got sick of MobileX's "Rendering page" message)
I only wish that the reflow option could be set up as a preference...
I'm chuffed that I finally found a way to carry lots of books around with me in a readable format!
Adobe Reader LE 2.5
Hi
Add another vote for Adobe Reader LE 2.5
Cheers

Adobe Reader LE 2.5 is pretty fast.
It would be even better if some one could find a way to disable the splash screen and improve loading time.
In case you guys haven't heard of it... Much better than Google Reader through PIE (my previous reader solution).

I agree, I think this is a great application which is still being developed, but Microsoft has already featured it on their main Windows Mobile site. A friend of mine actually works for Viigo, and I can tell you that they do have a great team of developers who I'm sure will continue to make the program better.
Installing it and managing your feeds is a breeze, and the program just looks ultra-sweet. Hard to compete with Egress, but I currently have both on my PPC right now, and prefer to use Viigo for its clean looks and usability.
Wich ebook reader to use with WVGA?
Anybody got a idea? Having trouble to read eBooks because everything is to small.
allreader search for free english version...
I don't have the link handy.... it scales very well for any screen size..
you can also add fonts to the windows font folder and change the fonts in the program.
the same program works in both standard and professional wm...
eReader and Mobipocket work perfectly on Omnia 2 (WVGA). As rob_van_triet says, you can use fonts from your PC and of course, you can set fontsize to anything you like.
try this http://www.isilo.com/
Allreader is the one (-;
Thx all
Wise choice
I use Alreader on HD and happy with it.
You can also try µBook (http://www.gowerpoint.com/).
Thanks guys for the info, was looking for a good eReader for quite some while now =D
Anyone have a link to free english version of allreader? Can't find free one anywhere?! Thanks!!
Extract and copy .exe file to your phone and run Its english Alreader 2.3, works very good on my Leo
Thanks Petulinek! Its perfect! Nice one.
It's better than Abode Reader?
Maybe a stupid question but i'm looking for a e-book reader which can do the following things:
- Can open .LIT, .EPUB and .MOBI
- Works in a Windows Mobile 6.5 environment
- Works on a HTC HD2 smartfone, i.e. without a stylus
I've tried all the possible apps mentioned above. I used to be very fond of MS Reader but that one doesn't work on Winmo 6.5. Does anybody have an idea for me? TIA
UBook works perfect, do not use pencil, the application is handled very well by setting the gestures, supports multiple formats of text files sorporta zipped text with pictures inside, change fonts, appearance and etc.
The first time I Insala gave me problems but I think it's because they did not have Framework 3.5 installed on HD2, now works perfect, although I can not certify that the problem was not having Framework installed.
A greeting

I am looking for the same thing I have tons of .LIT books so I need an ebook app to handle that
does anyone of them have page markers to save your current location in the "book"?
alreader has page markers.
Undoubtedly uBook reader, supports multiple formats, annotations, boolmarks, etc, HD2 works perfectly and gestures can be configured to turn the page, etc. autoscroll.
I use and I will perfect
Thanks, i have 2.6 if ya want it, its ok, finger scroll would be nice though
I have been reading ebooks on my various phones for years and the best I have used on Windows Mobile is AllReader followed by uBook then Mobipocket. Isilo is poor in my view and to be avoided. I used to use uBook more than any other but once you start using AllReader there is no going back, it is just so configurable. Superb software and well worth the money.
I'm sometimes reading books in my mobile and I'm looking for a good PDF-reader who reflows the text nicely so it fits the screen. Adobe Reader isn't really good for it because I have to scroll left/right all the time and that isn't a good reading experience really.
So recommend me a good one guys
Foxit Reader works great for me and is really the only viable alternative. It costs a few $ though but is totally worth it. Reflow works although i prefer to just zoom on columns when reading pdf magazines.
I just tried it, it works just as I wanted it to. Thanks alot man

Actually, if you use the Adobe Reader LE 2.5 CAB that's floating around on XDA, it will include an option to reflow text. If not, there is the Foxit Reader that you just tried, or you can also use PocketXpdf (personally, I like this better than Foxit).
+1 for PocketXpdf!

Hi guys!
I really really want this pad. But im scared that it wont work for what i need it.
I need it to work well with stylus and to take some notes while being on phone. I dont want to use the hardware or software keyboard, just handwriting.
Best would be to write over a pdf file (orderform) that i can send by email when im done.
Would anyone who has the pad want to show how well this screen is in this matter?
Ive searched everywhere for a week without any luck
I would also like to see or have some feedback on the possibility of note taking or adding comments to documents with a stylus.
If anyone does this I wold love to know how well it works and which stylus is recommended.
sorry for the Bump?
check out ezpdf or repligo, you can annotate on any PDF and also use freehand to write, sorry but i dont do videos and if i tried, it will be crap.
did a quick google search and have seen this for ezpdf which I use.

Thanx! What a great software on that video.
The xoom looked decent when it comes to writing with the stylus. Would you say the Transformer is as good?

The transformers display is better than the Zoom as it uses an IPS panel and has much better viewing angles. The software itself is as demoed, one of the best tools for annotating documents and you should easily be able to fill in PDF forms with your handwriting.
If you are going to use handwritten notes then there are a few available, they are:
Handrite
Tab notes - still under development but trial available. Looks very promising.
Genial writing
With a combination of the above software and a good stylus such as a Boxwave one or one that I've ordered by Wacom called the bamboo stylus which I should be receiving on Monday, you will have the right set of tools to fulfill your requirements.
