Hi,
I'm able to annotate PDF files in Windows Journal, but when I try to import
a PDF file into One Note, I'm only able to import a link to the original file.
Does this means that Microsoft, has included PDF annotating capabilities in
Journal but note in one Note? Is there a way to annotate PDF in OneNote?

(I' have Windows XP Tablet 2005 and One Note 2003 SP1)
Regards
Andre

No, there isn't a way in OneNote, Andre. Some programs match up better with
Adobe's system, and in the case of OneNote it doesn't do it - yet. If you
have questions on OneNote, there's a separate newsgroup -
microsoft.public.onenote - for support of the program.

Neither program has PDF annotation capabilities. Microsoft has shipped
the Journal Note Writer driver to print documents (including PDFs) to
the JNT format. So you are actually annotating a transformed copy of a
PDF. Someone has done a OneNote virtual printer as well, but I haven't
used it in a long time and can't comment on its success with printing PDFs.

Which reminded me, Mike, thanks, that GoBinder (http://www.gobinder.com/)
from the Agilix folks will do PDF annotations, by using what they call
"ePaper" to import then annotate, take notes with highlighters, text or
digital ink - in your choice of color. There's a free trial on the URL
above.

There is also PDF Annotator (http://www.ograhl.com/en/pdfannotator/) which
"will be released in early January 2005".

Check out PDF Annotator. It just got released. You can annotate PDF's in
ink, edit those annotations, and create PDF's. PDF Annotator does what Adobe
Acrobat doesn't support.

Does this work in "full screen" view. One of my frustrations is using
Acobat for a slide presentation and not having the ability to draw on it for
the audience. This doesnt even work in Acrobat 7.

Neal, the issue is with Adobe and their program, which is seriously unaware
of Ink. As has been suggested in this newsgroup, there are various ways to
get around it, but they won't be native to PDF files. One thing you may
want to look at (and there's a free trial) is PenOffice from PhatWare at
http://www.phatware.com/penoffice/ .

It does work in Single Page View, but Zooming functionality is not there
yet. the developer says its' coming. I'd highly recommend downloading the
trial.

There is a good discussion of PDF Annotator on www.TabletPCBuzz.com.

I reccomend
http://www.analogreality.com/onenote...mageWriter.htm This
printer is better than the journal printer in everyway possible. You can
increase the resolution so quality is not lost like in the journal printer.
It works great. In fact that printer is the reason I brought oneNote. The
irony is I was forced to buy a microsoft product due to the lack of
support/(poor journal printer) from microsoft. Thank god for the person who
made the onenote power tool, and microsoft should thank him aswell.

The pdf annator people are talking about is still very new and it can't read
pdfs properly, so it is not very useable atm, depending on the pdfs you want
to edit.
