I have an order in for a HP slate but don't get it until April! Don't want to wait and need to use pdf files and be able to run acrobat so I can do annotations during meetings of pdf files and then sync to my server when I get back into my office. I know I can do it with the slate as it is windows based and has flash. Can I also do it with the G after the flash issue is fixed and with a program that runs in the android environment?
I specifically purchased Repligo Reader from the Market because it was the only app (at the time) that handled annotations. I don't know if the annotations are saved in the pdf or not (and thus would be visible if you transfer the pdf to another computer), but Repligo was well worth the purchase price.
Repligo does not allow you to write with a stylis or finger to make notes and that is an annotation feature that is powerful when you are in meetings and then want to take those notes and have them on the page.
It seems like acrobat has a android program, but I can't find anyone that has used it or knows about it. There is a bluebeam program that looks great but it is for windows.
Stylus or fingertip annotation would be the bomb. Dont know of any Android pfd apps that do that.. if you come across one, post it here, because I'd like that too.
Repligo
Friends, Repligo DOES allow you to annotate with a capacitative stylus or finger.
I know because i use it for school work at my university. Thats the main reason why i bought my g tablet in the first place.
When you are in a pdf, tap on the screen onces to bring up the top and bottom menus. At the top, click on the 3rd symbol from the left (pencil symbol).
Click on draw free hand. And...wait for it...magic happens
I've only ever bought 2 paid apps for my G tab and HTC Desire HD. (Repligo and thumd keyboard)
Hope this helps
Yep. It wasn't one of the features it had when it first launched, but it's been added over the last couple of weeks. Also, they finally changed it so when you zoom in on one page, it stays that way for the other pages.
I've bought more than 2 apps, but RepliGo was one of the better purchases.
Huh. Never noticed that before. Thanks for the tip!!
Cool. And thanks. Now any problems with syncing files on my Windows 7 OS office computer to the Gtablet? Any procedures you can turn me on to in that area?
Just purchased it and I am not so happy with it. The free hand mode will not let you let the pen up to print words without asking you to save or cancel at every lift of the finger. Also, I don't see a highlighter. Additinoally if you have a password to open the file the program will just not let you edit the file at all! Do you have any of these issues?
Once you select the text, you can highlight it in the pop up menu...
Just ignore the "done, cancel" menu when you are doing handwrite. You can continue drawing without any interference. Once you click done it does not save. It just confirms that you want to keep the characters. The file is only saved when you go to menu and click save.
Of course if you wanna highlight empty space / non-text, you cant at this moment. Not sure about the password one though.
Thanks for your help! My problem is that I have issues with even getting the program to recognize my selection of text. I touch and then drag and nothing! I have tried with different files (6 to be exact) and one of them allows me to select the text but that is very unstable and not consitant. Really a bummer as when I am in meetings, I want the interaction of me doing this to be quick and seemless. Otherwise I spend time trying to figure the program out instead of figureing out the issues that are present at the meeting.
Can you offer any help? Have a request into Cerience but have not heard back. I fear they are just going to say that some file have this problem and leave it at that. I found another cool program called pdf annotator 3.0 but it is not avalible for android. I just bought this g-tab and learned and did the root, clockmod, vegan and love it. In fact enought to cancel my slate order as this has a bigger screen, but if I can't annotate, I'll have to give this to my daugther who facebooks and googles, but I will need to stay with a pc os based tablet.
Support from Repligo has been good. They e-mailed to say that they don't support my password protected files and that is why I can't comment on those types. On the ones that I can the program is still a bit buggy for me. Not sure if it is the app for me. Will need to work with it for a while.
Repligo works on vegan 5.1.1 but everytime you tab the middle of the screen to get the menu to freehand the app FC. Those who are freehanding in repligo, which rom are you using?

I use RepliGo and all functions work nicely with VEGAn 5.1
(Without the 5.1 Suppliment)
Is anyone else having ebook crashing or lagging? Any fixes?
Don't use that crap. That's for lamers. try Moon reader, Alkido, Cool Reader.
I've also have the crashes and sometimes it freez. I've treid aldiko cause i use it on my Galaxy S but then i have problems with changing landscape and portrait mode. The Moon Reader is runing well, but sometimes if i turn to next page it shows the current page again, though i have to do it twice to turn to next page. I really like the landsape mode of the stock reader. The two Page viewing is very nice. But with the crashes and freezes it's a bad thing. Some crashes are caused by some books, but deleting them don't fix it at all.
Is there a fix right now? Or do i have to use other reader. And does anybody know if there is another reader with a tow page view? I've tried some reader till now but didn't found a reader that i like. I've the latest Prime 1.7 Rom.
I switched to the Prime 1.6 reader version it seems more stable.
You can try the one I modified removing the demo epub and png. Just rename your current "apk" and its library "so" to "orig" before coping over so you can revert back if needed.

thanks for the files. I will try it.
Hi all,
I would like you guys to help me here if you have the time.
When I load a pdf with quite some pictures in it, it simply won`t load
I have searched for this issue and I couldnot find a solution.
Some genious suggested somewhere in a similar thread, that the OP might set expectations for a tablet too high(?). Which is bs in this case. Eeepad is no ipad, ofc, butan ipad works a LOT smoother when browsing and it loads ANY pdf without ANY issue. And the lag on this ( read; my eeepad) is creazy.
Can any1 plz test this link: http://m.mediamarkt.de/
Download the brochure, and tell me how well it loads in ANY application. Polaris, the ereader or acrobat.
Typing now lags like crazy, and simple browsing through xda crashes thebrowser.
Help me?
Love and peace....
Seriously... the EEE Pad (I assume anything with Tegra 2) is crap and really slow loading anything... and much slower than my 2 year old EEE PC.
I had the exact same problem when I bought mine... load a 30MB pdf, and each page turn took >3 seconds... here read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288277
Browser same BS.
Solutions I found:
1.- PDF: Mantano Reader 1.51 or above.
2.- Browser: Disable flash plugin or make it on demand.
Rayone is correct. I have found limitations with the PDF reader on the phone and the tablet. Get the Mantano reader or any other or equal that reads PDF.
BTW, I loaded this Markt ad book on my computer 8-core 32 gig ram and it runs very slow and it is very jerky. This leads me to believe that the compiling PDF software is either old or is set up wrong. So, it can be that as well. Either way, I think you are expecting alot from such a small power machine like a tablet.
Good Luck
Hello
ich bought an new Galaxy Note 10.1 today...Its for my study and therefore I want to use it as ebook Reader with marking and editing...
no this main feature why I bought this Tablet doesn't work !! I have latest Firmware and also made a factory reset which didn't help.
I have tried it with 2 books, one with 380 and one with 990 pages..Both didn't start to import, or started and canceled without a message on random pages...ITS REALLY ANOYING !!! It takes so long and then it cancels and it just doesn't work...
If I don't get an solution for that I will bring it back... And no I don't want to use oter Apps like ezpdf . I want to use S-Note with all its functions..
Can you help me?
Regards!
Wow a 990 page PDF! I would suggest you're expecting a bit much of a device with 2Gb of memory. Maybe you'd be better off with a laptop with a more powerful processor and plenty of RAM. I really don't think any tablet currently on the market would be suitable for your expectations.
Out of interest, what is the file size in MB of these two files?
28 mb and 130mb
If i would by ezpdf this all should work?
Just imported 730mb 300 page pdf. file to S-note with no problems.

It would be worthwhile downloading the trial version of EZpdf before you purchase. I would also caution that adding a lot of graphical annotation (e.g. handwritten text notes) would add significantly to the original file size.
Have you checked the files have not got corrupted during copying to the Note, can you open them in Android Adobe Reader for instance?
The files work with adobe reader! No one else has this problem since jelly bean but me....im testing ezpdf at the moment
I was sitting in uni today writing notes on my tablet, taking voice notes of the lecture for each page.
About 10 minutes before the lecture ends, the note exits out back to the first UI view of SNote and didn't save ANY of my notes taken for that lecture (was done all in the one snote file).
Has anyone else encountered this? I reckon that I either ran out of storage space and it just bugged out, or that I ran out of RAM from all the voice notes in it?
Really unhappy about losing all that work considering how close it is to exam time and it's made me reevaluate ever using this damn tablet again.
