taking notes on pdf with this: I was wondering whether I can use this tablet to scribble notes on a pdf file?

you need a application, such as Annotation. You can open PDF file on that application and add notes on it. And I believe this device is good enough for taking note. But it's hard to write small size words. And also you need to optimize window system. (you can find how to optimize on forum web sites.

nope.... there is no way to save notes on this model. If you buy Boogie Board Rip, then you can save notes as PDF.

I might get an-hour. Ematic' nor Android apps impress me. Get a regular laptop computer. The tablet is so-so for reading pdf books' my primary reason for purchasing it. Cao!

Certain apps can do exactly want you want, I suggest getting Noteshelf on the App Store, it's an awesome note taking app (I use it and I absolutely love it) you can download your PDFs and add additional pages to it. As for this stylus, noteshelf has a palm rejection feature that syncs to the stylus and it's awesome, you can write while having your palm resting on the screen. But make sure you disable multi tasking gestures. It's really neat, Palm rejection works so great I had no problems whatsoever.

Those are not good for note taking. You have to press really hard to write your notes. Plus there is no right software for it

No, it does not work on any standard tablets. The Galaxy Notes have a version of the Wacom hardware in it. All other tablets require the rubber tipped, finger simulator to use.

Hi. This device came with QuickOffice software, or you can install it free from from Google Play. With QuickOffice you can open Word documents and read/edit it on the tablet. Regards

I have a related question. My primary use for it would be to read technical PDF files (with equations and color figures). The screen size at 10.1 " and 1000x600 resolution seems quite good, but I would like to know if anyone has compared it to the HP Mini-Note which has a 1280x768 resolution, but at a 8.9" screen size.

Onenote, Some Lenovo apps(Support, Kindle, Settings, Quicksnip, app shop, system update), Lenovo driver settings, all the basic windows 8 software, skype, Free trial to office, Evernote free trial(Onenote is far better due to offline availability), and I could go on it's a pretty neat package but there's A LOT of free stuff on the store with upgradability that's well worth it. If you're into sketching I highly recommend getting sketchbook express the stylus that comes with it works well with SE. Also if you do plan to get the tablet make sure to update everything drivers, intel graphics accelerator, and the apps before you go to windows 8.1. It will make your experience with it a whole helluva lot better. Cheers!

I originally had the Note 2014 edition and replaced it with a SP2. Ultimately, I wanted to - take notes with a stylus- work with Word (work/school)- annotate PDFs with a stylus- Full web browsing (teach online, so full browser was key)Ultimately, Android is terrible at handling PDFs (seriously, check the reviews for PDF annotating apps) whereas Drawboard and OneNote are perfect for this. Also, native Word beats any and all attempts by other programs. OneNote + Wacom Stylus = perfection in note taking.And... as a bonus, all the desktop programs work. I can do everything with my SP2. I still had to lug around a laptop if I wanted to do Dreamweaver, etc. with my Note 2014.Your use-case may push you in another direction.

No... So far I'm still using Office on my desktop - still debating whether to put it on the tablet. I'm inclined to go ahead since I want to use OneNote and a screencaster to produce Kahn Academy-like instructional videos.

Im not sure but I highly doubt it, if you have to be able to "connect" your tablet pen to your tablet ((for me, it wasnt working at first)) then you can still download the software from their official website instead of from the disk,,, plus I'd you have any sort of drawing programs on your computer you're good to go, the program the disk provided wasnt helpful ((accordin to my friends))

I would use it for note taking, but keep in mind note taking is largely dependent on your app. For example, how easy is it to erase a mistake in your chosen app? How large are your letters when you write with a stylus? Can you resize it in your note-app?

the palm rejection worked great for me.no problem there. as for the PDF files, i didn't even really get into that. the buttons on the pen were simply undo and redo shortcuts in the app i used. i used the pen for about 10 minutes and didn't like it simply because the lines would not come out straight. not good for tedious work. hope this helps

do you know if you can edit pdf files using adobe on this particular tablet? i'm looking to find one on which i can take notes during class / edit professors' outlines/slides which are in pdf format. thanks!

don't think you can write on the Notes app only type. You can get an app like WritePad that let's you right. I haven't had any problems with these on any of the apps I have that are specifically made for writing or drawing.

The USB port is in the keyboard; if you have both tablet and keyboard, you have USB; tablet only, no. Don't know about Adobe reader; if your unit operates a newer Android OS, then probably doesn't have it and can't use it, although there are work-arounds too complex to go into here, and probably not worth the effort.
