The browser that is included in my rom (Nero V3) does not word wrap correctly (or the way that I want it to.) I'm used to doubletapping text, it brings it into a zoom and word wraps everything so i only have to scroll down. This version just pulls the whole text section into frame, but stays zoomed way out.
Is this a issue with browser version? Limitation of rom? And if it is another version, can someone point me to the right apk?
thanks!
Wondering how I could add notes to the side of a PDF. As in the area on the PDF itself is cluttered and full so adding notes directly on it isn't possible (attached a screenshot to show what I mean). Would love to be able to add an area to the side of each page to add notes (so push the actual page over to the left and have the right area for notes)
So any app capable of this? or anyway to add some extra blank area to the right of all my PDF pages which would allow me to put freewriting and text boxs on it?
Try sign my pad from the Market. I believe it has what you're looking for.

hmmmm, not sure if it fits the bill. Looking at it in market seems to only be for signing pdfs and not so much note taking/annotating.
I have the program, it does allow you to add text/notes to the PDF.

Interesting. Do you have ezpdf? are the annotating options similar to what you could find there?
No I dont have ezpdf so I cant compare the two, sorry.
No prob, thanks for the suggestion.
Just downloaded it for a test run and doesnt seem like its a viable option. Even importing and organizing my pdfs would be a huge pain and it keeps a portrait sized view even in landscape mode, along with other things.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
hah i'm a med student too... i know exactly waht you're looking for. re-print the pdf's in adobe from your computer.
on adobe acrobat x for pc:
open up pdf in adobe (or any other pdf viewer i guess)
print to adobe pdf
under page handling, page scaling: multiple pages per sheet
select 1 by 1 or 1 by 2, etc whatever you want for margins. this should give you a margin on each side of each slide. play around with these features to get what you want, if possible.
there should also be an option to print the notes lines to the right of the slide when you print. either that or it's a powerpoint feature.
as for actual note-taking on the TFP, try ez pdf or repligo reader. the sticky notes work if all else fails, but text boxes should work on the sides there.
if only the pdf apps had callout boxes... :\

Awesome thanks! this looks very promising.
I am using expdf for notes (or at least plan to at this point) but I have found my text boxes and free hand annotations won't show outside the pdf's "image". If in your way I can basically extend the right side of the image as a blank area that would be amazing! The stickies look like they will work but it would definitely be nice to be able to read the notes while still able to see the slide.
Going to give this a shot and report back soon.
edit. looks like I need to get adobe acrobat x since I only have adobe reader. Will give this a shot tomorrow. I am assuming standard is fine for this task?
I use stickies with repligo reader. I find it to be much faster, ezpdf lags on page turns while repligo is super smooth.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
So playing around with it I think I found an even better way to do it.
Instead of doing the multiple page option what I did was put page scaling to None
Then unchecked auto-rotate and center
then went into page setup and changed the paper from letter to legal.
This puts the image competely on the left hand side with a large margin on the right hand side for notes (although I could see sometimes wanting margins on both sides for maybe taking notes and putting arrows to things in the slide, but just check auto-rotate and center and then you will have 2 smaller margins on each side, with little space on top)
So this way is pretty sweet because it gives you the large margin on the right side for notes, plus the aspect ratio is basically the same as the primes screen!
But there is a bit of an oddity with this process right now. When I saved it, it saved and all my slides were upside down. They were in the right order but all were upside down for some reason. Figure this should be able to be fixed somehow (tried rotating the page in adobe acrobat and then "printing" but that didn't work, guessing there's something I need to change in the printer settings). And even if not you can rotate 180 degrees in ezpdf easily enough (which puts the margin on the left side, not a big deal).
Thanks again for the heads up, this is really going to help taking notes on this thing!
edit. if there is some way to ungray that margins box in my first attached pic, then could maybe even modify it some more.

I would prefer to not use stickies if at all possible just because it would be nice to see my notes right beside the slides as opposed to only being able to see one or the other, just like if I was doing it by hand.
I checked out repligo and while it does seem faster then expdf and it doesn't seem to have a good way to organize a bunch of different classes lecture notes within it. Also the toolbar to select either a free note or text box etc keeps hiding itself and I don't see a setting ot keep it up (and even then have to go through a pull down menu to select one).

I would recommend mantano reader free, it allows heaps of options, i specifically use the highlight option, which you can then add a sticky to... Give it a go and see if you can use it
Oo, thought i couldnt add pics, anyway... here you are
This reader is really not laggy at ALL! which is great for my large texts...

Thanks I will check it out. Ezpdf really isn't that bad for lagging (although haven't opened up any super big pdf's on it yet), and it is really nice and easy for highlighting, sticky notes, text boxes, free hand and everything like that which is awesome. But ill check out mantano and see how that one stacks up!

Its grayed out and not letting me manually change them. Not sure how to ungray them so I can do that, or if there's any other place to do it.
Would be nice to use that, but really just changing the page size to legal and pushing the image over to the side looks like it will be just fine for me. Gives a good sized blank space to the right for any notes

oh, now i see what you mean. it's probably because of the paper layout you chose. try making a custom one...

The only custom size option is somehting like "post script custom size" option and it somehow doesn't allow me to choose any sizes or margins which is weird.
Just figured this out. Download foxit reader and under print, select Custom Scale and print to like 75%. #Win.
Help me, can somebody tell me which app for edit/make file txt which contain large text (i try droid edit, xplore, ant text is uselless) which use unicode utf- 8
I can't truly recommend this, as I just dl'ed it last week, but it supports large files and Unicode. The dev moved on to Jota+ (which has a pay-for-pro version). Hope this points you in the right direction.

My opinion
I prefer colornote and jota text editor.
I had try both, still can edit/open full txt with bigger size

Android text editing blues
I wish I could recommend an Android Text editor, but they're all horrible... clunky, inert. They all require pudgy finger commanded by tired eyes moving tiny highlighting handles over words . The best and worst of the Android text editors and word processors are geared for whatsapps, tweets, haikus.
Just by way of example consider what it takes to cancel a single word on Jota:
4 (four!) finger interventions.
For all endeavors except text editing, people got a real treat with tablets... Games galore, spectacular browsing, film viewing, still pictures and motion photography, messaging and socials and GPS navigation and on and on...
The scribes instead were slung back to the Dark Ages. The DEL key was banished. Arrow keys - pffft - disappeared. Everything became clunky. So clunky that a whole new industry was born: external keyboards to allow your mobile device to play pretend it's a computer. A cop-out.
For everybody else stuff famously indistinguishable from magic, for us instead punishment. Little handles to move around...
The editing situation is so clunky, awkward, demanding of concentration, that even I, a non programmer can - at least conceptually - run circles around any Android editing program for speed, ease, precision!
Hey guys,
How u all doin?
The best txt viewer/editor for Microsoft Windows is Notepad ++. It's such a shame we don't have something like that on Android. Anyways, I need a Text Editor with the following features:
1-Full-screen mode: A mode the fills the whole screen. I mean no menu, no toolbar, no nothing! What I need for the app is to fill the whole screen when I put the phone in horizontal position. I don't need to see a menu bar on battery percentage when I'm reading a book.
2-Last Position: Remembers the place of your last visit. For instance, if I open a text file and read till page 6, the next time I open the app it starts from page 6 and not from the beginning.
3-Font choices and Background color: Gives you the option to change the color of the background. Also, the more fonts and styles it has the better.
Thank you in advance
Still looking for something like that

It looks to me as if you want a book reader, not a text editor. I know Aldiko is free and can do all of that, but it only supports epub files AFAIK. That being said, converting text files to epub is a breeze.

sorry...............
The toolbar got a refreshed look, and text rendering seems faster when zooming in/out.
Also got the OLD s-note pen/colour palette as an annotation tool now,
but it craps out half the time, and its processing time is slowwwwww.....
But it shows that the devs are "noticing" the samsung note line up, so maybe we'll get better optimization for this tab soon !
I dunno forum rules about "advertising",
but its on sale for $0.99 right now, which i think is a great pick up ~
Yeah, i just bought it, been looking for a replacement for adobe reader for a while now. This might be the one..

I've used EZpdf for quite some time now. I use it extensively When reading pdfs, annotating and studying. Really like the "new" interface. I've moved onto to using more and more Epubs but when I need to read pdfs this is the one I rely on.
Just a hint for ezPDF
Maybe you know this already, but:
ezPDF has three drawing modes: Freehand, Drawing, and Drawing (SPen).
Of these, I find that freehand works best. But, it is not so easy to set pen width.
The method I use is this: first draw something. (click on icon in toolbar, draw, click on left arrow to confirm the annotation).
Then select it, click properties, and set the thickness (I use 1.0). This will also set the thickness for future annotations.
(You can also edit the toolbar by clicking on the 'x', and choosing edit.)
