For me, it'd be easier to review a PDF and take notes if I could have the windows stacked up and down when in landscape mode: PDF on top and Lecture Notes on bottom... It appears right now the option is to have the windows side-by-side or a ad-hoc stacked mode by manually adjusting the windows.
Thoughts?

I have tried several PDF readers including Aldiko. The problem is that when I am reading a page, I need a feature which makes the text fit to my phone window. Because by default there is a lot of extra space around the text. If I zoom , scrolling become difficult as scrolling down results in scrolling the page to left/right also. Any suggested reader for my purpose?
So basically, a reader which zooms the page to custom amount but the text should not move left and right while scrolling up/down

Okay, so basically i was looking for 'text reflow' option ! Hidden gem!
Hello. I need assistance with EzPDF and cannot, for the life of me, find a way to get it from the developer. I've sent them numerous e-mails with ZERO responses.
Here's my question: I prefer to review my PDFs in night mode. I would also like to write on them. It appears the "pencil" feature will keep its color after exit the pencil writing mode, whereas the pen (paintbrush?) loses its color after exiting pen (paintbrush?) mode. The problem is that I'd like to keep the color for review in night mode; however, the pencil width is just too fat with no way to adjust it. The pen would be great if it didn't lose its color in night mode.
Thoughts? Perhaps there's a help forum out there for EzPDF?
Thnx!
This may not be what you want... but you could annotate the pdf in another program using black ink, then save the pdf and open it with ezpdf in night mode. This should change the color for you.
I agree. I'm glad the developed made the pencil work in night mode; however, I wish he/she would enable width selection for pencil.
Going through this phone I'm not finding how to manually crop a photo. On all the other notes you could use any picture and with the S pen crop out any photo then use Scrapbook and join that picture with another. The only option I'm seeing is circle, rectangular crops. Tried S Note, Scrapbook to see if you import a picture and can't find options in either program to manually crop. Had anyone figured out what setting its in or program to use? I used this feature a lot in the other Note phones and hope Samsung didn't take it away.
When you select crop use the lasso feature. It will letter you cut out only what you want
At one point i had an application, thought it was Snote or Supernote.....
that when i did handwriting it converted to text automatically while i wrote (if i paused for a second).
It was really cool and in a cool font. I cannot read my own handwriting and this app did it amazingly fast.
Where is it and how do i get it back.
I have even flashed my Note Pro back to 4.4.2 to see if it was some sort of an update to Snote that i found while searching the forum.
Any way no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I might be wrong but it sounds like you might mean the handwriting keyboard. This allows you to write in pretty much any application with handwriting. It puts a little notepad where the keyboard would normally pop up. As you write it converts to text with kind of a cool handwriting font. To access it make sure you have the default samsung keyboard. Then tap the little microphone/gear icon to the left of the spacebar. Then choose the handwriting icon. That should pop up the handwriting pad.
Alternatively there is a google handwriting input keyboard available in the app store, but I find the samsung one just as goo.
Yes I think thats it....i just am missing one piece of the puzzle....which app or application do i start to write my notes in?
I just tried Snote and it didnt do it and i also tries supernote but it didn't do it either.
I just would like to make some great notes and poems and such with a readable cool font....like you mentioned.
I cant seem to see how to attach a pic either... imgur.com/a/WuvaS
Also followed these directions,
tomsguide com faq id-1765262 enable-handwriting-text-note
but the function icon or the T button are not there.
Maybe I have the wrong Snote apk/application
Below is the process (from tomsguide website) that would help you enable the Handwriting-to-Text option in the S Note:
On your Samsung smartphone or tablet, tap the app drawer icon.
Tap the S Note icon to initiate the app.
On the displayed S Note screen, tap the + icon from the top right corner.
On the Select a template window, choose the template of your choice from the displayed list by tapping on it.
Once created, long tap (tap and hold) the Formula Match icon, i.e. f(x), from the Productivity Tools bar at the top left corner.
From the displayed options, tab Handwriting-to-Text icon, i.e. T, to select it.
You will see that now you can use the stylus to create handwritten characters on the page which are then automatically converted to the text.
In order to get the normal handwritten typing format back, you can simply tap the pen icon from the Productivity Tools bar.
You can also follow the 5[super]th[/super] step and select the Formula Match or Shape Match icon to make the S Note recognize the formulas or drawn shapes respectively using the stylus and convert them to their corresponding objects.
You can do it in S-note. After You open S-note make sure YOU select all from the drop down on the upper-left. Then hit the drop down men dots on the right and choose template. This gives you a much larger selection of templates like portrait notes and such. Choose whichever you like and write your note. You can either handwrite Your note or choose the T option and have it convert to text as you write. Once you have it converted to text use the selection tool. Choose properties and then change the font.
Thank you.
I am just flashing Nougat and will check in again later.
Yes the Handwriting Keyboard works.....just not the same as the Snote from before (like on the Note 2).
I did like the Magnetic Lasso.
Is it possible to flip the screen or rotate to portrait in desktop mode? I've tried apps that control rotation and i've tried via ADB but nothing worked.

Nope. That's why its desktop mode. Switch it off and rotate freely
That's too bad. I find portrait mode more useful when watching some videos and still doing some browsing or emails.
Video on the top in 16:9 and nice neatry square window below. And some floating windows for little things.
But i guess it's their way or the highway.
And on my work pc I have 4 displays 3 of them in portrait mode. So desktop isn't synonymous with landscape.
He'll I used to have my CRT back in the day.
4:3 in portrait was nice for writing thesis with lots of equations to keep all in view.

Unfortunately they didnt think programmers couldn't benefit of it (that's why i would like the rotation on desktop mode too :/), anyway, maybe they could add that on future updates.
It's a shame that such uses are not taken care of. It's a great piece of hardware. Both for work and entertainment. I just wish there was a bit more flexibility when it comes to its use.
But at least in next update the touchpad on the dedicated keyboard should start functioning properly in portrait mode.
But there are a lot of tiny things that should have been caught in QA.
I hope as the time goes by there will be more allowances for more flexible use.
