I need to fill out and sign a form sent as a PDF. Is there a program for the Note?

You want iAnnotate Lite. It just got updated for the Galaxy Note to take advantage of the S Pen.

Thanks for the fast responses. The "fill and sign" app won't work. the PDF doesn't have fillable fields. I'll see about the other app.
IAnnotate works perfectly for my needs.
Thanks again

Thank you soooooooooo much!! I saw someone using this online but they didn't say what app it was! I love it!
No problem. You shoudl also get Soonr while it's free. It does the same thing but opens up word, ppt and excel compatibility in addition to the PDFs. This is also made specifically for the Galaxy Note and S Pen.

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Liked it so far...but couldn't find any good application that can replace my paper notebook. I am looking for application such as Bamboo Paper, Ghostwriter, Upad that are available on iPad. I was using it, but decided to give Honeycomb a try. Lack of such application could be deal breaker for me...I also liked to use Displaylink on ipad2 but i guess I'm out of luck in this case.
If I can't find a good note taking app by using a stylus to replace my paper, I guess I have to return to iPad! Any suggestions?
FreeNote, note everything
Note Everything
Have you tried the pad asp that came stock with touchwiz? Might be just what your looking for.

zadukala, I am in the same bind as you. I moved from iPad to Galaxy Tab and use uPAD as a religion to jot notes.
I have pretty much tried all the "lite" version of the Handwritten notes but none comes close to the finish/polish of uPAD. Also e-mailed the uPAD guys, hope they will respond with a - coming soon.
Just heard back from uPAD
"Thank you for supporting UPAD.
We are sorry but we do not have a plan for Android yet.
If you have any further question, please contact us again.
We will do our best to offer you the better service.
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
UPAD."

Hi guys,
Me being a student, I was wondering if there was any apps that allow for the import of pdf files to write over them with a stylus to take notes?
I've been trying to use my Prime to take notes in class and my professor puts out pdfs every lecture, it'd be great to be able to take notes on the pdf as he talks about it.
I've been using LectureNotes and recently Papyrus (love it) to take notes, but it doesn't feel as integrated with my classes add id like to.
I saw somewhere that there was an app that converts the pdf file into jpgs to allow the user to write on them. has any one heard of this?
Thanks
Stock App

The Asus stock MyReader app allows you to take notes on top of PDF files.
Best apps i have used to take notes are already included in your prime. Super note is amazing! No more physical notebooks for me! And MyReader works wonderful too.
Both apps paired with a Stylus and TouchScreen Tune = awesome

MyReader? I have MyLibrary is it the same? i had not bothered with it before cause i thought it was just an ebook reader.
I messed with it and it did let me edit a pdf that it already had on the library but it wont pick up the pdfs i loaded in the Prime from class.
I was thinking the same thing of finding out an app for note taking. Then I thought why not just take a screen cap of the full pdf page lol

Sir, I REALLY wanna know too! I am dieing to find a stylus with which I can take notes on my Tablet just as well as I do with a real notebook.
Please answer the following:
1) What stylus do you use?
2) What app do you use to write handwritten notes?
3) Does it really feel just as natural to write with that stylus and app combo as a real life paper and pen/pencil?
Thanks!

Thought I'd add my 2 cents.
I'm a first year University student so I need to take a lot of notes.
1) I personally use a wacom bamboo stylus and I like it alot.
2) I use Supernote pretty much exclusively for hand written notes.
3) It feels pretty natural after a while, however it's never going to feel like writing with pen/pencil and paper as it is just a different experience.

lols my 2 cents
at first i really liked superNote aswell but when trying to catch with some of my professors it felt slow and it bothered me that everything is in line.
that's why i moved to Lecture Notes, i really like how its like a notebook with pages and me being able to write anywhere on the page. then from this i moved to Papyrus, i really like how its like an infinite white board so i can write anywhere. its beta so missing some things but still awesome.
But anyhow are there really no apps that do what i need with pdfs? i don't gave that My Reader app
hi all
i just saw clips of the much talked about galaxy note 10.1 with a s pen.
well my flyer can do the same tricks except the part where i think htc forgot to put some pen compatible handwriting recognition apps in it. one engineer may have been booted due to this, but i dont know.
what interests me is the S Note app that samsung specially made for the note. i humbly request the devs and the gurus to see if it can be ported to the flier. would really want to use it as my flier currently runs on the other notes app from the lenovo tablet but i cant export entire notes from it.
would be willing to donate to the worthy cause.
regards
saneem
i doubt it.
the app seems highly integrated into the multiframe based desktop. and functions part of that is required for the app and its binaries to work. so this is probably not going to be ported as standalone.
the Photoshop touch app does work, so i tested right now while playing with the rom.
crayon physics work too (childrens game)
Thank you very much for the infor...
I am using the flyer for my daily diary and work related stuff and since it can fit right into my Coat pocket, the IPAD owners dont really feel comfortable around me. the Best thing is the pen, but the lenovo app ported has its limitations in exporting the text and so i sometimes feel discouraged.
I remember WM2003, the notes app and the word app in my IPAQ both converted to handwriting to text and that allowed me to do substantial documents in my hand. Wish the IPAQs lasted.
i am still offering to contribute to any person who can build such an app...
Appreciate your replies...

I was wondering about S-note myself. I have the Galaxy Note 10.1 and I'm actually leary of using it because it probably can't be ported off the Note. Samsung doesn't have a good track record of keeping their devices updated and I'm afraid to put my notes in it and be trapped to one device or even one platform.
I'm looking for something more universal, that would work on any Android tablet, not just the Note.

If you want to use handwriting recognition for Flyer/Android, there is an app called WritePad. It's ok.
I used Samsung note stuff for a while but I was never happy with how the pages were handled, and also the speed of drawing on the page was not impressive. The worst issue was that I was not able to sync between my devices because I do not use samsung account etc So I looked around and I tried bunch of apps and I settled with LectureNotes mostly because its indepth settings and it is no bull**** database approach which makes it syncable. A notebookis basically a folder with bunch of files in it in LectureNotes then I use Sycnthing to sync to other devices.
I highly recommend it to YB owners because I feel like it is a great fit and also the speed of drawing in it is much faster than my Samsun 10.1 it feels good. I also use it with real pen tip/notebook to make sketches that works great as well.
LectureNotes offer shortcuts to documents so you can just click an icon and open any document from the desktop.
Anyway I am not affiliated with the dev at all, but he has xda pages and he seems to be super responsive guy. And it is under active development. Check it out, give it a try. My biggest complaint about it is that it does not offer hand writing recognition like the Samsung app does. also no windows app. However it offers PDF exports.

Fow the windows version there is an app called Write which has Android/Win/Mac support as far as I can tell not as feature rich as LectureNotes but seems good as a cross platform note taker. This one uses folders as well so you cna sync between devices.

Artrage is like 5 times slower than any other Android art app really. I recomend Ravioli, LayerPaint, Sketchbook, Infinite Painter if you want more natural drawing experience. I have no idea what the hell Lenovo was thinking when they thought that Artrage would be a good choice to put as a default art app on this tablet.
is there any chance to replace the hot button note taking app? I identified the default app to export wrongly and would like to replace it
I have a Win10 Yoga Book - great tool, I just wish I could take simple handwritten notes on screen, even if it means picking up a compatible Bluetooth pen, such as the recently released Wacom Bamboo Tip. Has anyone had any luck with taking notes directly on the screen?

The Bamboo Tip is not pressure sensitive (neither does it use Bluetooth - I might be wrong). If you don't need pressure sensitivity you can actually use your normal Lenovo Pen with WriteIt straight on the screen... No palm rejection though, but I use it frequently and it works quite smooth once you get used to it...

jamespmi, what is your setup? I have worked with it for several days on my Win10 Yoga Book using the Real Pen stylus and the results have been a bit less than satisfactory. Perhaps I need to tweak the memory. What works best for you?

What I use to do on all PC's first: Flushing the preinstalled OS and setting it up by hand. Debloating it to the max. The difference is more than surprising.

I think it's cool to play around with... But Push comes to shove when doing work related things I never go to it.
I use it for writing down lists for groceries and for grabbing screen shots etc
I use mine to draw and sketch a lot.
It's the main reason I've only had the note series for years.
I use it for work all the time. Being able to jot down notes and thoughts quickly is the best!
Pen? This thing has a pen?

when i first got a Note device ,
way back ....Note 2 and then Note 3 and Note 4 ,
i hardly used the S pen .
Started seeing the value /ease, to do something on my Note 5 .
Really missed my Spen on my S8 + .
Yes, i use S pen a lot now .
Apart from notes etc .
I use Spen for my Klwp theming ,where i found that the navbar gets in my way,
when doing precise value selections etc .
(Navbar either visible or hidden ).
I also sometimes uses it to preview a link or general scrolling .
Also sometimes when using keyboard .
It's just faster than i can type ,with my "dumb" fingers .!
I'm an artist and the pen is specifically why I buy the note phones. While I do all my major work on an ipad pro and desktop, the notes are my go everywhere sketch pad, pretty much everything I draw starts as a rough sketch on the note.
I use the pen to make quick notes at the meetings, shopping lists at home, any time I need to make quick note. I used to use pieces of paper, which usually would get misplaced, then had to look for it, no more. My kids love to draw on my phone as well. Probably use my phone more often with pen, than without it. It's like a mouse on my computer. I feel like dedicated iphone user, only couple models to choose from and high prize to pay. I tried other (without spen) phones, but it doesn't work for me at all.
The pen is very useful, other than the taking quick notes (much faster than virtual keyboard) the most useful thing about it is signing PDF documents, i can pretty much fill out a PDF, sign it and then print to PDF (so no one messes with the signature) without the need to print and scan and much faster. Can do the same for paper forms using Office Lens or Scanbot. Also Microsoft's Remote Desktop client beta version works wonderfully with the s-Pen if you want the portability of a smartphone but the full power of a desktop that's a great go to.
Edit: also anyone looking for a spare s-Pen should look at the s-Pen that came with the galaxy tablet S3, it's a more robust pen, bigger, feels better in the hand and the button works better. Only downsides are it does not store inside the phone and it's not waterproof.
I use my Spen everyday. It's nice to use it to go through your phone. Then not to mention the best part copy and paste anything.
I'm new to the Note universe so I have not used the S Pen much....yet.
I use my S-Pen a good bit - as in at least a few times a day
Notes for both work and home.
Sometimes to mark up a photo to send someone.
I set up to have S-Notes back - so I can make a quick note and have a reminder
Used my trusty old Note 4 for a good while - it is still going strong!
I have the Tab S3 so i sync notes between devices. I make notes every day. I make a note on my Note8 to make sure i don't forget ideas and plans. Very important in business. Writing notes helps me remember information. I use OneNote and Samsung Notes.

OneNote is indispensable, the ability to sync notes between the Tab S3, Note 8 and PC (laptop and desktop) makes it essential, and that's not bringing in the ability to share your notebooks with others. The fact that the desktop app is free and has OCR ability makes it a no brainer. Also Office Lens will scan direct to your OneNote too.

The S Pen is far from essential- but in addition to its "unique" capabilities- I just like using it instead of touch when I can. It seems more precise and if I daresay hygenic.

I would not pay 1,020.00€ for a "Novelty". I already spent near that when the SGS8+ came out.
For me the Note S-pen is the reason I buy......'the Note'..... Its more than a pen its a mouse. I like the hover part when placed over an email or document and it gives you information about the content without opening the mail or document. I can wizz through my emails only opening ones I need to reply to in a hurry. There is so much more to the S-pen.
Ryland
It's the only reason I bought it.
When I had my Note 5 I would use it to jot down random ideas. Also it's really great for meetings. I can write down and organize my notes. Plus it's convenient when used with certain apps. You can hover to see additional content. I've used Evernote and the Galaxy Memo app in place of it but it's not the same

ditto, i use it to sign contracts and other documents in my line of work. also use it to draw on screenshots of software/hardware diagrams prepared using PowerPoint. i'm always writing on pictures shared with friends and i use it for SNote Action Memos, too.
For Mouse Over Actions...that just one...it's awesome. Plus, no fingerprints on the screen. Once you get used to it...you'll find that you may prefer to use it to navigate through the phone with it.
