Embedding won't work (for me) because when I'm reading a PDF, I often mark it up, correlate points, and then on the PC type out my handwritten comments for long term storage and sharing with co workers. Sounds like the Nova would make this process very messy.

Thanks,

Just to be clear: the annotations do show up individually and are still editable. That's what I meant with "embedded" (maybe not the best choice of words). They are not "flattened into" the PDF.

What I meant is that once you've exported your annotations (what I meant with "embedded"), it creates a second PDF. It is only this PDF that shows the annotations on a PC. And you can no longer edit the annotations in this second PDF on the Boox (but you can edit them on the PC).

All in all, it just hampers the workflow a very little bit, since it's one directional.
