It sounds like you need two separate things - a viewer (such as Foxit or Adobe) and a document management application. You can use calibre to organize them, or you can look into document management software. There are several of those out there, some of which are free. Many of them are a pain to initially set up because they are designed for complex office document management systems, but some are less complicated.

So my recommendation would be either calibre or googling "document management software".

I downloaded Foxit Reader and it seems to be a nice piece of software, good to know it will print the annotations and I think it uses less resources on the netbook so it is quicker.

It has a free version for projects up to 100 books/documents.

I'll try that one out.

I've been doing that at the moment but I am just a little concerned that once I have another 2-3 years of study behind me even this method might be a little awkward as I will have well over 1000 documents for university alone.



Thanks all for the advice , I'll be sure to give an update on how foxit works after some more time and how well citavi works.
