PDF Writer Software Request

[pant90]

Hey everybody


I was wondering whether it was possible to make or (if existing already) port a software to the Pandora that let's you see Pdf files AND make handwriting notes into those files? So that if you had a document you can put in comments, underline stuff and highlight somehow else. Such a software would be great for university students who get most their courses in the form of a pdf file and it would save a lot of work and paper.


So if it exists please let me know of it and how well it works. If it doesn't yet and someone of our great programmers is able to and has the time to write such a program I would be more than thankful and I think a lot of other students would be too


Cheers pant90

Xournal.

This nice PND is exactly what you want.


I use it nearly every day in University.


It can export to PDF after editing it.


You can also type with Keyboard.


You can add/delete pages.

Get this one.


It's a text editor which can open .doc and .txt files and export them to PDF.


It can't open .docx. For .docx you'll beed Pandebian with Libreoffice.

I have Abiword, already. Was not aware it could export to PDF.


Can this Pandebian or Libreoffice do the same with docx files that Abiword does with .doc - that is to say, export to .pdf?

Yes.

Do this:

Then this:


http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/6280-tutorial-installing-libre-office-in-pandebian/page__hl__pandebian


Then export to PDF whatever you want.


Then tell everyone who great the Pandora is.
