i) you sync from your PC to CF to get the latest copies on the CF
ii) you open the PDF on the iliad and scribble all over it
iii) you then sync from the CF back to the PC (before you download anymore that you want to sync to the iliad)
You say that your sync software won't do the third step. I'd be surprised if rsync won't. I can't try it now, maybe later.

Exactly! This is what I have been trying to do. I hit a road block in step (iii) because all the synchronization software refused to do the step (iii). If the folder in the source folder (CF) has the same name as the file in the destination folder (PC), Windows does not allow the folder to be copied into the destination folder. If the source and the destination folders have files with the same name, it is not a problem because any synchronization software will simply copy the newer file onto the older one. However, if one is a folder and the other is a file, Windows does not do that.
I tried to search for RSYNC for Windows, but couldn't find it. Even if it has the Windows version, I somewhat doubt if it would do this because it is really Windows' limitation.
I am wondering how others do this. Synchronization is crucial for people with many papers, and I cannot imagine how one can use Iliad without this functionality (especially scholars and researchers).
Thank you for your continuing advice and help.
