I do not have a 10.1 yet, but I am seriously considering getting one. I went to try and test it the other day at a local retailer and figured out a number of interesting things.
However, when I played with the pdf viewer in Polaris, I found the option Annotate, but after selecting it, nothing happened, that is, I was not able to free draw or insert text or comments anywhere.
I have read in other threads lots of suggestions on other apps which work very well for annotating PDFs, but of course those cannot go on split screen. So I am really interesting in figuring whether this Annotate option actually does anything in Polaris with PDF's.
Has anyone figured what that does, if anything?
Thanks.

IM also facing the same problem. It would be great if I could use this feature, specially in meetings. Hope someone can help.

If anything you can import the PDF into S Note and annotate it from there.

It's broken. Here's my correspondence with them. They're working on it.
But S Note converts you pdf to images and it always crash while import for me. Polaris office is slow and it has issues displaying equations. And it can't annotate pdf with pen

Adobe Reader has surpringly good annotation ability. I've got ezPDF as well (it was on sale for $0.10 last Christmas!), but I think I'm going to stick with Adobe.
PDFs are one of the main reasons that I got this tablet. I thought kno would be a good resource, but it is rather clunky, doesn't display some images properly, and has terrible palm recognition. My PDF workflow is now Scholarly (to sync with my Mendeley database), then Adobe Reader to view/annotate. Also, Adobe Reader saves annotations in place, whereas ezPDF wants to make a copy, which it then stores in some unspecified location. This means that if I open a PDF from Dropbox in Adobe and make some comments, those comments then sync through Dropbox to my computer.
Never thought I'd have so much praise for an Adobe product!

As with ezPDF, adjusting thickness and color is non-intuitive... *after* you've written your annotation, long-press on it. Then you should be able to modify the appearance. Whatever settings you choose will remain with the pen for the next time you use it.
No pressure sensitivity, you're right.
I've been using ezPDF which now on the Note 10.1 offers multiwindow which is cool. Use pen to annotate, rather than pencil..
Haven't figured a good workflow on how to use it with Mendeley yet...
I just downloaded eZ pdf and it crashes constantly. It does have the multi window function which is pretty cool, but useless until they fix the crashes. I downloaded Adobe but they still don't support the multi window function, and the built in Kno app doesn't support multi window either.
Edit: Did some more digging and found out that there is an app we can download in the app store called multi window which allows you choose any app to give multi window functionality to it. The pdf that I was trying to annotate on was protected SO the only way I can write notes on it was to use it in the Kno app! Thanks for the info guys!

If you're willing to part with $.99, ezpdf reader seems to be pretty good. And it supports highlighting/annotations!
Surprisingly, the built in pdf readers of MyLibrary and Polaris Office are pretty good too. I impulse bought ezPDF before finding out about the built in ones. I think the built in ones are sufficient if you don't plan on annotating.

EZPDF was one of the free ones on the Amazon appstore last month. Amazon is still doing a free app a day. I suggest installing it getting all the free apps, cuz you may never know when you may end up needing one of them.

Yes, with the latest update that is one of the things they highlighted, I use it all the time and feel it is far superior than the other PDF readers. Developer is very active in improving and enhancing its features.
I think the built in one that comes with the transformer is pretty good
The only thing i dislike about it is the refresh rate on flipping pages,
+1 for EZPDF
I have tried many but I my favourite is EZPDf, its most complete
Why get a PDF reader when myLibrary handles it fine.
i got ezpdf for free from amzon. it is kinda slow to switch pages. I like repligo reader a lot better. Also allows you to annotate pdfs.

I agree. I've tried ezpdf, but Repligo is my favorite.
Nthing ezPDF, though I'd love to see one that can do a two-page display for landscape.
My experience is that MyLibrary's and Polaris Office's rendering quality is pretty poor. ezPDF's and Repligo's quality is about the same though Repligo is faster at switching pages due to Repligo rendering a low resolution version first which provides you enough information to know whether you wish to read that page or swipe to the next one. However, certain (complex?) pages fail to be rendered by Repligo (you just get a blank page with an X) whereas ezPDF manages those pages without a problem. If Repligo can fix the page fail issue then Repligo would seem to be the best out of the four.

Now that Adobe Reader has been released for Honeycomb I thought I would update the above with the fact that, then though I had assumed having come from Adobe that it would be the best, its rendering is just as poor as MyLibrary and Polaris Office. For the time being I will be staying with Repligo; and ezPDF as a back up.
Mantano Reader seems pretty good, 7 day fully functional trial available.
Repligo is the best on the market, but there are a few thing in my wishlist:
- Continuous scrolling
- Two page view
- Support for textbox
OfficeHD Pro can display PDFs very well. Although, you cannot make any modification to the file.
I've yet to find one that beats GoodReader on the iPhone. It allows annotation etc and has a great feature where you can zoom in but lock the screen horizontally meaning that the text can fill the entire screen yet scrolling won't mess alignment up. I've love them to port this app or have another one copy this.

Goodreader is one of the best PDF readers on the market of any device. Oh man do I wish they had a android version because I have tons of books with my annotations in them and for this fact I still have my iPad. The one feature that I absolutely love is locking of screen size. I emailed them back a few months ago and they never replied back if they are porting to android..
Repligo is the best, for me.

Hello all!
I have been lurking around these forums for a while but finally decided to post. So, I just got my transformer yesterday, but now I need a good note taking app. I was wondering if any of you guys know of an app that allows you to take notes with a tree hierarchy like in MS OneNote? In addition, a note taking app that also has notebook support like in MS OneNote also? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Evernote
Evernote doesn't really have options to bold, italicize, or underline right? Or at least in the android app. It also doesn't have a tree hierarchy when taking notes also no option for bullet points. This is most important to me because I need to organize my notes that I take in class.
You could use the stock polaris office...

i think you would be best going with a word processing app like Polaris, quick office or docs to go.

Hmmmm, it seems like my options are limited for now. I suppose the notebook feature isnt too important. Is there any note taking apps that allow you to bold, add bullet points and have a tree hierarchy? Or is that asking too much?

Well I guess we can use your option"criticism" where do we find that on the market.
I tried out MaplePaint last night and it seems to be okay. It saves files in SVG format so they can later be converted into png/jpeg/etc. I would assume that SVG is also easier to convert to plain text with an OCR than other formats since the lines are cleaner.

I'm curious now! As a LONG TIME evernote user (6000+ notes), I haven't seen anything that compares. My wife uses the ipad, but she would be interested in a good note taking app. What do you recommend?
As for taking notes in Android, I find Colornotes to be fast and efficient for things like jotting down the details of a phone call or for creating a "sticky note" on your home screen. I also like the fact that notes remain open when task switching, so you can easily copy and paste bits from other apps without having to constantly open and save a note.

Why not Google Documents? They just recently put out a Docs app, and it appears to run fine in Gingerbread so far.
I like it because I can write notes on the PC which quickly sync to my phone and my tablet. It's easy to write a note and refer to it later. One example is shopping lists. I whip one out on the PC at home and whip out the DX in the store to check it.
Springpad?

Use it for most things, shopping list, Todo list, managing small projects, diary, looking up near by restaurants and has a cool widget.
And it syncronises with your springpad account so I got access to stuff on the phone aswell
Also, re Springpad I think they have just announced a Honeycomb version.
Stupid phatware still hasn't come up with their phatpad. I've used it on the Windows Mobile platform and it is superb.
It can do free writing too as well as text and shapes.

Android's note taking apps all are underwhelmingly basic compared to the Windows Mobile selection.
Android stinks on note taking. I used to use handnotes by choung . No app even comes close to that one. I would pay 100 if someone could make a note app like that. I realllllly like being able to write freehand notes

I can't believe ASUS threw this thing in here. Compete with the Lennovo thinkpad perhaps? This app is incredible. I don't know of any other notepad app out there that rivals this. It does everything I need: shares with evernote, dictation, ocr, insert images. The fact it comes for free is incredible. It has a great simple paint app to boot. May need to uninstall sketchbook for that reason although the painting in Supernote is a bit limited.
The fact that the Transformer comes with this just shows how superior it is to any Android tablet out there. Once the TF2 comes out it will be king. And I don't even have to mention the dock!

Wow this is app is great. Now I am not claiming to be a pro, but I have tried everyway to handwrite on this tablet and this app is the best. Very smooth all the most needed features in one app. Yes I am sure you can improve it somehow as everyone has a different need but for FREE it is for ME.
Fyi...for those who are having trouble with using the rubber tip stylus's I highly recommend trying a coat or two of rainx ....that is if you don't have a screen protector ...
supernote is the best note taking app and I have tried them all. it could still use some improvements such as zoom though. It works great with the adonit jot stylus.
wow, I love this program !
Seems like they perfected the interface as compared to FreeNote.
All they need now is to have some export to some PC format feature.
But how does the functionality compare to FreeNote?
Its nice, but I can't decide if I like it better than Antipaper Notes though.

If you use the insert annotation function, write your maths formula, you can then pinch to zoom to make it larger or smaller by using the select tool.
This app will be almost perfect if they can include palm rejection like in Writepad stylus, especially in landscape mode. Also export to pdf would be ideal.
I would also like to see either user selectable pen thicknesses or more choice added.
Truly is a simple and great app already.

Share your note to it from supernote and walla- saved as a PDF. then you can open in Repligo PDF and add more text etc.....
Works for me. There are other PDF conversion apps out there- not sure how they work- but if anyone else gets one----REPORT BACK...
EDIT - another good one that works Images to PDF lite- https://market.android.com/details?...did=br.com.tabletsoft.converttopdflite&rdot=1
You have to share your supernote pages to the gallery than go into this app and add pages from the gallery than convert to PDF-
The good thing about this one is you can string up to 5 images/pages on the free version to one PDF doc. But you cant shre the pages to it right from the supernotes program.
Any video of this thing in action for those of us waiting for Revolution to update?

I cant see OCR support natively either in SuperNote,
but if you share your handwritten note to Evernote,
Evernote's servers will perform OCR on the note.
This makes words in the note searchable from within
evernote at least.
Supernote must be by the same people as FreeNote, its so similar.
Awesome app.
Does anybody have any idea when/if the "iAnnotate PDF" App will be actually available in the "S Choice" on the "Galaxy Note"?
This is an iPad App and it's site says there is no Android version yet, but it's featured here:
samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note/applications.html
as a major app... However it is not pre-installed on my phone and is not available, as far as I can tell. Some other apps featured here are available, but this one is not. Not yet, anyway.
I've noticed that launching Samsung Apps requires the SIM in place. So is it possible that this App is available in Samsung Apps store if accessed from, say UK, but not when accessed from US?
Thanks.
P.S. I live in US, but my Galaxy Note came from Germany.

that app does look very nice considering it might have weight effect on the pen. Unfortunately i have been using a pdf nnotator on the noe which didnt have a weight effect but i recently had to remove everything from sd card because i was getting too many adverts and it kept turning off randomly.
I want that old pdf annotator back now! i think i had one in word as well, it was very nice.
the reason i am here though is im interested in the best way to look at multiple pdfs and multitask! would it just be a case of using like four different viewers?? i think i am answering my own quesion really, unless there is a way two have an application open twice.

That's funny...
The "(coming soon)" next to some Apps wasn't there earlier.
Now it's pretty clear that their release is simply delayed.
As a matter of fact, Goodreader for ipad is the best annotate pdf app out there.
it has a useful feature to extract all text highlited both with goodreader, with adobe acrobat, even with the galaxy note only worthy program for pdf editing: ezPDF.
even adobe acrobat can't extract highlighted text content (if it's not highlited in adobe).
basically, i am saying that iAnnotate functions are all there with ezPDF for android. i've tried also repligo reader but pen interaction is bad and everytime you lift the pen while ending the highlight, the text is deselected again.
what i am doing now is using dropbox to get the pdf, annotate and stickynote with ezPDF, then saving back to dropbox, edit them if necessary with adobe reader, then when all editing is done, i use GoodReader to extract just the annotation and sending them via eMail back to me.
got it?
PV.
nice work. will definitely look into this methodology at some point, presumably you have an ipad stuck on your desk then ?
i know what you are saying about adobe not even being able to highlight highlighted text aswell thats really annoying.
my first step is to re-install ezpdf because i accidently uni stalled it ..
although we're all screwed over with no pressure sewnsitivty in the note's ezpdf, iannotate will solve this though no-one likes writing then highlighting the whole thing to delete too!
I want this app as well... in the hope its a bit better than the .10c Ez PDF Reader Pro I bought...
"Lite" version of this App is finally available!
I think it's not compatible with our Note.
Edit: I finally downloaded app from Samsung App, looks promising but still too simple, I hope this app will be properly developed to reach the same quality as on iPad.

It all depends on user specific needs,
for me the most useful combo is Dropbox + Folder sync + EzPdf - all important files I might need go to Dropbox folder on my PC, then after sync I never have to carry printouts with me, and ezpdf allows me to annotate the files if necessary

Great topic.
Just bought one myself and in same situation. Going to use it for work also. I have found that a combination of Polaris, ezPDF, Officesuite Pro w/font addon, cloud service, & Google Docs works for most things. Evernote w/Skitch is OK but last I knew you have to pay to sync with other accounts so it is limited. Not sure what you do for a living but there are also some cool space design/measuring/dimension calculating apps. I also have business and fraction calculators installed. Of course Lecture Notes.
Probably leaving some out but will post if I think of something.

This is a great thread! I would add to it but basically all of the apps I frequent have already been identified. I would like to use Evernote more but it does not utilize the S Pen.
Can you tell me more about the secret weapon approach to Evernote?
I use Lecture Notes for work. Replaced the many project notebooks I used to have to juggle.
Genius Scan is useful when you need to scan something into your notebook.
Splashtop if you need remote connection to your laptop.
Cloud print to print.
Applock for time or location based locking of applications, so you can lock up the tablet at work, but not have to deal with the hassle of unlocking at home.
Droid48 for those of us who used to have an HP48 calculator.
ESFile explorer for easy access, copy and paste between files on tablet and on network, cloud based files, etc
Mobizen to mirror tablet to computer screen and use keyboard

Take a look at Notes Mobile also. Unfortunately, if you use the developer setting to do all your 2d rendering on the GPU it has a display bug - no fix and they're aware of it, and the same company has a scientific notation app which works correctly.
The up side is it's the best handwriting recognition I've seen on this device. It does substantially better than the onboard stuff does.
Until they fix the bug, I'm sorry to have purchased it but they're getting dinged enough in the Play store for it that I'm optimistic they'll eventually address the issue.

Just Google it, there's an own website for it. Basically it gives you a structure of tags to organize all's your tasks, especially your emails, too, which are kind of a task. Imo it's only useful if you use outlook in Windows to export mails to evernote. If u use Gmail for example the complete structure can also be achieved using labels, which is just another word for tag..

I should have previously let you know that I have already been though all of the TSW videos and I'm setting up Evernote. I live and die by Outlook and I appreciate you pointing me in this direction.

I took some of your recommendations from this thread and wrote an article on it. My business partner just bought a galaxy Note 10.1 and he wanted a list of apps for our restaurant that could help.
Thank you all for the recommendations, I got them from you. :beer:
We are recruiting writer for anyone interested. Pm me for details.
