How Can I Draw on My PDFs?

cabin-chair
Hi,

I need a way to draw on or drop my own text comments on the face of the PDF documents I'm using.

I know I can highlight text. And, put sticky notes on the face of the page, which of course I could read at the left.

Owing to the abstract nature of the topics and multiple languages, it's really easier to have the words I need physically NEXT to the words in question.

With the current PDF application, is this possible in any way?

Either directly, or indirectly?

Thanks,

CC

    Hello, Dr. S!

    You guys just KEEP doing it! You know, I've rarely posted a question that isn't resolved in this manner - such that "We're on it! Hold tight!" BLESS you folks!

    When I see how hard you all work - Version 7 - to help so many people I feel impressed. Thank you, dstillman, and WHOLE Zotero team! :)))

    I would also love to see this feature. The highlight feature doesn't currently work on some .pdf's (the image-based ones). While Zotero does allow text-box comments on these .pdf's, a drawing feature would greatly improve .pdf note-taking.. Is this still in the works?

    @rheuer: Zotero 7, currently in beta, supports ink and text annotations. (You've always been able to create ink annotations in the iOS app.)
