I am trying to edit a pdf document in S-Note and needed to make additional notes on a blank page. Does anyone know how to add an extra page to an imported pdf file when working in S-Note? Or any other program?
Or if you can merge (insert) a pdf page into the edited document?

I recommend docs to go and buy the upgrade key, and adobe create pdf. These coupled with the stock options will allow you to create your own document.
Docs to go will allow you to copy all of the info off a pdf doc, then paste into a doc doc, add pages and then use polaris to export to pdf or use adobe to create pdf.
Just realized, i dont need adobe create with polaris...... damn what a dummy :silly:

I think you should be able to do this with Polaris Office however it does not work very well. There are two other options, either you convert the document into a pdf and use a PDF annotator such as ezpdf or there is a new app called textmaker which allows you to mark up text like MS Word but the app is expensive although there is a free trial availableon their website at the following link:

Here are some notes I made on using Polaris for ink notations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856691
I haven't found another office product that allows ink annotations either. I did install MobileNoter SE HD recently. Its an unofficial OneNote app for Android that has tons more functionality than the official OneNote app, including ink annotations that will be captured and synced back to OneNote on a PC. Here is a link to that, but FYI its $15 (but worth it if you are a heavy OneNoter).

Thanks for the link. I checked it out. The functionality looks good, but the implementation for me is a deal-breaker. From the description of the app:
" The documents you want to annotate and share are securely stored in your Soonr Personal account in the cloud so you must be connected to the internet to access them."
So you have to store your docs on their cloud server to annotate and access them, and there is no off-line caching of those docs. Sounds like the functionality is just a gimmick to get people using their cloud services.

Not to be rude like our "VP"........ but you are in correct. You can offline cache either in office formats or the pdf(annotated format)
When you have a doc on your screen you can either back arrow to save it as annotated to the cloud account. or if while it is on the screen you can hit the upper rt corner menu and down load which will cache it. What i have noticed is the down load did not seem to work if you are just in the soonr menu and long press a file to download it that way without it on the screen open. For me it must be open on the screen and DL from upper rt menu to cache.
I DL'd this app this morning to try it so i have not played alot with it but this is what i know so far. Seems pretty good though.

Many thanks for the further insights. If you do download/cache it, can you open it in the sonnr app without an active internet connection to truly work with it offline? Or is the downloaded version "read only," still requiring an active connection to their cloud to make further annotations on the cloud copy?
I love the idea of the app, except if I have to be tethered to their cloud to use it.

yes it will work in their app, let you work on it and when you are done place it in a pending upload state until you are back on wifi. than it will update in the cloud. Still trying to work out everything- will take another look at it over the weekend.
As someone who can't try out the Note 10.1, how is this accomplished? I'd be taking handwritten notes in class and then I'd want to view them on my laptop with the least possible hassle.

Just bought it, gotta say my jimmies have been unrustled.
For rich notes, such as web page clippings. Try Evernote
Better than viewing it , export it as pdf , download airdroid , use airdroid to send or receive your files to any device .
Airdroid is like vnc make sure you're on the same connection or hotspot.
I know this is not enough info but that what i could remember .

I use lecture notes and have to export to pdf as well.
Thank you everyone, I bought Lecturenotes (LOVE it) and I'll be exporting via PDF. Many thanks!
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.

Hi, I was wondering how can I import documents from Microsoft Word in LectureNotes? Is it possible? Not PDF types. I have FileManger.
Also, am I able to spell check? Thanks
EDIT: I figured out the manually save. But I hve another question.
@Hahahalalala: You need to convert to PDF first.
What do you wish to spell-check? Your handwritten notes?
In case somewhat else comes across this thread: Manual save is in the menu at the app's launcher icon.
