You seem to have experience on different pdf reader / annotation apps on Android, and your needs seem to be very close to my own. What I'm looking for is the ability to annotate pdfs, also freehand (I'm reading scanned pdfs as well), AND the ability to save my annotations into the pdf, so that when I come back to it to see what the essential points were, I can run the pages through as if it was a normal book that I have underlined and see quickly which parts I have highlighted for later reference. Most likely I would read the stuff on the tablet, make annotations, save it and transfer it onto my desktop computer where I'll use another PDF reader to look it up later when I need to.
In your experience and opinion, is there an app that I can use for all this, or is it going to be a compromise one way or another? I've tried finding out this information on Repligo, Moon+ Reader, Mantano, Foxit Reader, Aldiko, Cool Reader and ezPDF (and probably a few others) but I haven't been able to figure out everything I've wanted to know, so it's kind of hard to decide which one of these to try. I don't remember offhand which ones of these you can try out for free, but certainly I'm not going to pay a 2-5 euros - a cheap in itself for an app - for a dozen apps, amounting to maybe 30 euros just to check it out myself because the app's description is too vague.
Any recommendations? At least it seems like Mantano is not for me. How would you (or someone else who has experience) characterise Repligo and ezPDF's abilities in light of the needs outlined above..?
Thanks!
EDIT: PS. Oh btw another necessary function that doesn't need to be integrated into the same app as the above functions (but is good if it is) is reading non-english texts in with a dictionary, so that I can (for example) tap the word I don't know/remember, and a dictionary window with the word pops up (or whatever is the way this can be implemented).
