I was hoping to just use it as a note pad (for handwriting) as well, but maybe that's pushing my luck, then, I'll have to test it out a bit and see.
I have one question: Have you found a simple way of synching a multi folder pdf library on your pc with your iPad? At the moment, I've been transferring pdfs via iTunes but it requires quite a bit of sorting once they're on the iPad. I downloaded Aji which supposedly is capable of importing a folder structure to iAnnotate, but for some reason my iPad isn't connecting up to it - I haven't figured out yet what I'm donig wrong there  |
I am a bit in a rush right now, so I can't comment extensively. But the best solution I have found is DropBox. You can access DropBox folders directly from iAnnotate, but the files get imported and have to be subsequently exported.
The other option is to email the files to yourself. If you have setup your email client on the iPad, you can open attachments directly in iAnnotate.
I use Outlook with an Exchange account on my PC. If you have the same exchange account on the ipad, you don't even need to email files to yourself. Just drag the file to any mail folder in Outlook (not the inbox) and it gets saved as if it was an email. On the iPad, don't single tap on the attachment but hold down for 2 seconds - an 'open with' option appears and you select iAnnotate.
Finally, in Safari, if you add an 'a' to any web address, it will try to open the page in iAnnotate - and succeed if the webpage is a PDF file. So you can open, say, an SSRN PDF directly in iAnnotate without using your PC. Weird, but it works.
Glad to hear it's working out for you.
