Hello I tried to search the forum and saw nothing on this topic and hoping that there is a solution. I highlighted some documents that I have in .pdf format on the computer using the Adobe reader software. When I try to open the saved .pdf on my xoom with aldiko it does not show any of the text on the highlighted pages just the color. On pages that have not been highlighted the text is visible. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I hope there is a solution because I will have to revert my documents back to when they were not highlighted just to view them on my xoom.
Thanks,

I haven't used Aldiko for pdf files. But, I just tested out viewing a pdf that I had highlighted, and added notes to, on a computer. These apps all opened it fine on my Xoom:
Adobe reader
PDF To Go (I believe part of Documents to go)
RepliGo Reader
RepliGo is nice for adding annotations directly to a PDF on an Android device.

Hey guys,
I used to use a program called RepliGo that would convert my PDF into there own format that was less memory intensive as Adobe Reader for PPC. The thing I liked about it was that it allowed you to
1) Do reflow where you look at PDF as if there were in notepad (i.e no graphics)
2) Text Search
3) Speed (Never an hour glass while switching pages)
Is there any other program that is better then Adobe Reader of PPC to read PDF or even convert to its own format first?
Have you tried Mobipocket? It will convert pdf to its own format which allows you to reformat the text.
I would use Repligo for viewing files with lots of pictures and diagrams interspersed in the text, Mobipocket if you just have a solid chunk of text like an ebook, and Foxit if you just want to read the occasional pdf without any conversion.
I use ez pdf to highlight notes that are .doc and pdf, but are there any apps to highlight and take notes on powerpoint files? A lot of my professors use powerpoints as notes and I can't seem to find a good app to do this..anything similar to ez pdf that will work with powerpoint files? (such as highlight lines and very little actual handwritten input)
You can convert ppt to pdf using a program such as microsoft office. I do this every week because my prof posts ppt on her website and I use my transformer in class.
Can anybody recommend decent viewers which offer "Two Page View" for PDF and/or djvu files? Thanks.
1. EbookDroid sorta gives this option for both file formats.
EzPDF Reader has that option for pdfs, and it also allows you to write and take notes on the pdf with your s-pen.
what ebook format should I get to be able to work with the S-pen (Kindle , epub , pdf ) ?
Anybody know where can I get pdf ebook ?
I would always lean toward epub, I haven't investigated drm ebooks on here yet, but all the ebooks I have I convert to epub to read with fbreader (on both android for all tablet phone and book reader)
edit;
my book reader isn't android, but does have fbreader.
I use calibre on win and Linux PC's to convert formats
I use epub instead of pdf as it is easier to reflow text for various screen sizes and screen rotate

Calibre cannot translate the Snotes .snb format and i haven't found anything that can. It is an obscure format. I wonder why Samsung used it other than to force people to have their devices to read it.

If you want an ebook to use with the S-Pen I suggest you go for PDF format. As far as I know there are no ebook readers (Apps) that allow marking up epub or mobi files. If you use pdf there are several apps that allow for marking up pdf files with the pen,

Ez pdf reader will open pdf files and when you select the pen at the top it will ask you if you want to copy the file for making annotations and then on that copy you can write what you want with the s pen. BTW the copy will show up in the library shelf when you open Ez pdf reader.
The main reason I bought the Tab2 (7.0") is to view FAA instrument approach charts. Since there are over 15,000 of them (reissued every 28 days) for the USA, I've created HTML pages organized in a tree structure (by state and then airport) to allow quick access to whichever one I want. I have all of this (PDF and HTML files) on a microSD card, and I have installed Adobe Reader for Android.
When I use this on a "regular" Android tablet (Acer Iconia A500, Nook Color/Tablet, Motorola Droid), it works just fine: Using the stock Android browser, I navigate the HTML pages to the one for the airport, and then click on a link to display the PDF. Adobe Reader fires up and displays the PDF just fine.
However, on the Tab2 (running stock 4.1.1), the stock Android browser attempts to fire up the Kindle reader (even though I've selected the Adobe Reader as the default), which then crashes. Note that I can navigate to these PDFs via a file explorer, click on the file name, and the PDF displays just fine.
OK, so I tried a few other Android browsers:
Opera (not Mini): This piece of junk (from other experiences as well) can't even display a URL of the form "file:///storage/extSdCard/.../index.html" on the SD card. Idiots.
Dolphin: A bit better; you can enter the "file:///..." URL and it displays the HTML file fine and navigates to other local HTML pages, but when you click on a URL that references a local PDF, that's an "unsupported" URL. Morons.
Firefox: I'm not fond of the UI, but that's a nit. Everything else, including displaying PDFs from HTML links, works just fine.
So, Firefox wins the race, because one contestant threw up on the track before the first turn, and the other just before the second turn.
Wow, that's a long way to my question: Does anyone know of a way to get the default (Android) browser on the Tab2 to not try to fire up the Kindle app when linking to a PDF URL? I've rooted, if that makes it easier.
