An app that you can write and type on with the stylus for powerpoints? - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General

I have a lot of classes which lectures off the powerpoint. Preferred is doing notes on a different page too. So far, I can only type notes or textboxes. Any apps that lets you type notes and use the stylus to write on the powerpoint?

Why not spit view with PowerPoint in one window and lecture notes in the other? It's what I do in my lectures, works beautifully

What do you mean? Thanks.
Also, polaris office 5 says it doesn't support free drawing on ppt.

Convert it into pdf file and then there are a lot of app to write on pdf file (like ezpdf reader ora papyrus)

Great tip. This is exactly what I do. I use Polaris to convert to PDF. Then use Papyrus to write on it (text or handwriting).
I havent found any of the PDF annotation apps as convenient as Papyrus. The lasso tool and one-finger erase function of Papyrus cant be beaten!! While Papyrus doesnt actually "annotate" PDFs (other PDF apps cant edit the changes you made using Papyrus ), you can export it again to PDF to view on other devices.

This is exactly what I do as well. It's very efficient and helpful.

you guys are not answering his question.
Im a student too and i have using polaris office 5 to annotate pptx. to annotate ppt polaris office 4 would be required or you can choose to save the ppt file as pptx using polaris office 5. however, i have never enjjoyed polaris office apps, as their frequently buggy. i think that hancom office can do the job well after some testing in shop, but i havent update my note so i cant confirm that.

Best app for Displaying Adobe PDF Files

I know the THD has Adobe Reader LTE on it, is there anything better for viewing PDF files.

What's wrong with Adobe LE? Have you tried using Adobe LE's "reflow" function? Head to the registry HKCU\Software\Adobe\AdobeReaderLE 2.5\ and change the value of "EnableReflow" to 1. Restart Adobe and now you can "reflow" the text from tools->view.
I don't think any other pdf-viewer has this feature, which makes Adobe LE by far the best reader IMHO.
try fox-It reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/mobile/wm_ppc.htm
I don't want to start the same old discussion here.. But
Adobe Reader LE is
a)Faster
b)Better resolution.
c)Has better Reflow.
d)Has better memory management.
e)Is free (comes with device)
What more do you need. ??
do a google for mobilexpdfwm6, it gives more detail than adobe for me.

I'm reading an e-book using Adobe Reader LE but there doesn't seem to be any settings whereby I can bookmark the last page I read so that I can return to that page once I reopen the same e-book. Does anyone know how this can be done or if not, whether any other readers has this functionality? Thanks.
Don't know about that functionality, but personally I love Repligo if you can be bothered with the conversion process. Light weight, provides flow mode (yeah, PMS on demand!), and seems to work nicely with large PDFs.

I like PocketXpdf with it's "View text only" feature. However, some PDFs can't be opened

I used to usse Repligo on a Palm, and loved it. But now Repligo says it no longer makes the version for WM. Where did you get it?

Best PDF reader

Just throwing out a line to get some ideas on the best PDF viewer, possibly with annotation (although not required). I'm looking for something fast and smooth that can navigate larger documents, etc.
I like the polaris office one, at least better than adobe reader, which seems sluggish.
+1 for Polaris Office. Not perfect, but faster than the Adobe Reader app.
Hmm, I might have to try to find a copy of Polaris, it has disappeared from my app list in the midst of various ROM changes.
Repligo PDFReader
I use it to have clients sign contracts right on the screen. But has so many functions.. Check out the Video
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result
It is $4.99 but well worth it.
+1
Polaris Office
Repligo +1 for me. And for read the include Acer Lumiread.
At some of android news website I saw a test of pdf readers and the winner was ezPDF reader. Maybe you'll like it (sorry for my english)

Thanks, I'm trying it out now. Seems pretty good, overall.
Did you ever try ezPDF? I've been using Repligo for about a month and I love it! It was definitely worth the $4.99 (actually, when I bought it, it was $1.99 @ the Amazon Appstore).
I looked forever for the perfect android PDF app for reading books and ezPDF won hands down. Amazing control, bookmaking, and text rendering. I couldn't believe how many of the apps weren't up to par.
Sorry to drudge up a moderately old post, but I have a question about ezPDF. Can you rotate documents? I scan a lot of stuff into PDF, and sometimes I need to rotate the pages on the fly?
Also, does it support adding notes (written with stylus) and bookmarks? I've seen other posts and some say that it has this feature, others complain it doesn't.
Thanks,

I do not see rotation in the settings anywhere.
And it does support adding notes, annotations. Just tap and hold screen and chose "free hand". It will ask u if u want to make a copy for annotating which is great so u dont mark up the only copy u have. It will create another copy if u like to mark up. Once u chose, then write as much as u want. Good program.
i'm working with lots of PDFs - non-editable, editable, with markups, making markups - and right now the best reader and marker for PDF for me is RepliGo.
The PDF Viewer from Picsel Smart Office is as well very good and very fast but without marking capabilities.
Picsel Smart Office has as well the best excel, word and powerpoint readers/editors.

[Q] PDF Annotations

MSFT was annotating PDFs in their Reader app during the presentation of the Surface PRO. I tried it on my Surface RT, but couldn't find a way.
Did they use some unreleased preview version or has anyone found a way to annotate PDFs ? I couldn't find any other Readers in the Store either.

I don't know about Annotating PDFs in Microsoft Reader but Adobe reader is available in the Store, & I imagine that you should be able to get Adobe website Reader from the Adobe website as well.

The store just links to the Desktop app which I cant install on Win RT. Normal notes work just fine (doubleclick to select text), but I cant get touch input (capacitive stylus) to work.
Windows can't tell the difference between a finger and a capacitive stylus; you need a digitizer stylus for it to be recognized as pen input. I think the annotations thing may only be for pen input, sadly. It works great on my (old) digitizer-but-non-touchscreen tablet (which I upgraded to Win8) but like you, I couldn't make it work on my Surface RT.

Yeah to a touchscreen a stylus is just a finger, but if you have a Wacom digitizer on the screen with a pen (like thinkpad x tablets or the galaxy note series, Samsung x86 slates) then there is very precise, pressure sensitive input that is read differently by the computer.

best office app

Hi i bought my wife a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 2014 edition
ive been using it and really lke it
was thinking of getting one me self to replace my laptop as i work offshore and it would be easyer to take away with me for a month at a time
i like the expandable sd card slot so would be able to save all my films etc to it to watch when am away
the thing thats put me off is office apps
while am away i have to send off my timesheets etc
on my timesheet i have a windows word timesheet with a excel spreed sheet on the inbedded in the word document
on my wifes tab i am yet to find a office program that will let me edit my spreadsheet thats embeeded in word
what offices do you,s all use , and what is the best
I use Documents To Go due to its Bluetooth keyboard integration. The spreadsheet is used about 15 or so hours a week with a Bluetooth keyboard. If keyboard integration is not a consideration, Office Suite or the free ones are OK. If you are looking at moderate to heavy usage (me) then consider a Bluetooth keyboard case (I have a Poetic combination). Before settling on an application, consider your usage of a Bluetooth keyboard followed by compatibility.

Documents To Go's Bluetooth implementation is superior to the rest, though it lacks in the bells and whistle department. It works and is stable.

Try Polaris Office 5 for tablet first because it is free (Samsung apps).
Then you can try Office Suite.
Sent from my SM-P605 using Tapatalk
i like office suite the best, but its too expensive for what it is. Kingsoft is a close second for me and it's free. Quickoffice is ok. Polaris is horrible, mostly because it sucks at rendering pptxs from powerpoint. Couldn't comment on the word processor aspect.
I have used all of the above. I like Office Suite the best and I got it for free during one of Amazon's free app of the day. I have seen it there at least twice for free, but if you have to have a good suite try Office Suite 7. King Office is good, but to me, kind of cumbersome to use. Just my opinion...
Kingsoft worked best for Excel

I have used all of the above as well, specifically OfficeSuite, QuickOffice, Kingsoft Office, Documents to Go, and Polaris. OfficeSuite used to be my favorite until I started having problems editing an Excel worksheet. The formulas were broken and necessary. I started testing all of the office apps with that specific excel (including a few other free office apps that I don't remember) and Kingsoft was the only one that could handle it well. I now only use Kingsoft office and haven't noticed any loss of functionality. It should be noted that I primarily use it for Excel so I can't comment on how it works with PowerPoint or Word. I have viewed PPT files using Kingsoft and that worked well, but did not edit them.
Edited to add documents to go to list of office apps tested.

No. I have a bluetooth keyboard, but I never use it. I almost always have a laptop as well, so ifI need to lo lots of text entry I use that instead. Kingsoft office is free so you could dolwnload it and try it.
I have installed it several times and due to its Bluetooth keyboard support, uninstall it. Thanks though.

Word with Annotation

I love the S-Pen functionality and want a good MS Word compatible application that will allow me to draw annotations on the screen. I have to review loads of docs and want to be able to red-line my stuff. Any suggestions? I have Office Suite Pro 7 and tried Polaris but it didn't seem to work.
Hancom Office.
Thanks! I am giving it a try. I wish they would add the annotation to Google docs.
