Annotate PDFs in S-Note

[bobdude5]

I've seen a couple threads asking for PDF anootation apps and most of the suggestions have been ezpdf reader and I annotate , which don't get me wrong , are great but the are kind of limited in with the whole layers thing.


I don't if this is a known feature but snote allows you to import pdfs and jpgs and write on top of them like you would a normal snote..except now there is full palm rejection, highlighting, etc

All you did is open snote, click menu on the top right, click import, and choose pdf. Ignore me if I'm being Mr obvious but I don't think I've seen this mentioned.

Yeah, you can also export it to PDF again when you're done if people weren't aware.

The only problem that I have found is that the pdf's have to be fairly small in size otherwise s note seems to crash when trying to import them.

Along HasC's line, S Note is not exactly efficient size-wise. I want to annotate PDFs for class, but importing a 20mb PDF file turns it into an 80mb file :-/

but i have FC with pdf file of size 1.6 Mb, of pages 200+ for S note....

What about just annotating in ezPDF. Anyone try that?

Works great. I've been trying to force myself to use iAnnotate since it seems theyre a Samsung partner so maybe more likely to get multiscreen utility at some point, but keep going back to EZPDF because it just works better and more logically.

Good news/bad news. Polaris handles big PDF files well. We have 4.0, the latest version. Annotation was introduced as a feature but I can't get it to work. I e-mailed them asking what's up.





Here's something cool you can do with text in PDF's in Polaris. You can send text to S-Note (or drag it from one window to another in multi-view) or copy it from a PDF in to a .docx file using the persistant clipboard.

I didnt have any trouble annotating .ppt files in polaris. It did struggle with very large presentations (was runnimg through an 80 page slide deck and the last 10 had very low resolution when going through in order... resolved by exiting slideshow mode and selecting 70th slide thumbnail and restarting presentation there.)

I just imported a 178 page PDF. It took about two minutes but there weren't any issues. Are you using "import" from the S-Note home page settings drop down? Do you have 2D h/w acceleration enabled in the developer options? It screwed up the stock e-mail client for people so maybe it's affecting S-Note also.

I also had some FCs myself after attempting this. My tab in S-Note kept giving me options of what i wanted to open the pdf in - ezPDF, Polaris, Kno and one other which i can't remember - but no option for Snote. I eventually kept trying to load other ones, until it crashed twice and then it took about a minute to load 65 pages. Not sure what was causing the problem

Has anyone else tried to load large pdf's, like a blue print? S note will do the import for me but nothing shows up in the file when I open it.

Just make sure the radio button for the pdf you want to import is checked then click done in the upper right corner. Kinda confusing at first if your not looking for that.

I am able to do textbooks and large amounts of pages fine, the blue print is a large format though, 11x17'ish.

I tried importing a PDF... not super huge (1.5 mb, 7 pages), but it still took a noticeable number of seconds. Then, when it did display, none of the figures showed up and the fonts looked funny (sorta squished).

Not going to work for me, sadly.

 

[ugotproblemz]

like i stated in the other thread, imported an 80MB or 1200 page pdf to S-note...took about 30 minutes? but no FCs

 

[salmonsushi]

My S Note crash every time too regardless of size of the PDF. Reading other xda posts seem that I am not the only one, but yet I cannot find a solution. Does anyone know why? I ensured "Do not keep activities" is unticked, but it doesn't solve the problem. Please help

I can't get S-Note to open up PDF files as well... Everytime I try, it keeps trying to redirect me to an external app (be it Polaris, iAnnotate, etc.)
