MacWorld had an article on a new app PDFpen which allows users to annotate PDF files. pdf-notes and PDFpen are very similar to iAnnotate and identical in cost ($9.99). iAnnotate PDF iPad App Review provides an excellent review of the iAnnotate app. What is very interesting is a free (ad supported) version of pdf-notes. Of course, I am always looking for free productivity tools for students who encumber great expenses while attending college, as well as others. A brief comparison of the apps is noted below:
What makes pdf-notes distinctive is the the Settings function includes links to the pdf-notes blog, introduction in YouTube. You can also customize the bookshelf theme and change the icon color. One other feature of pdf-notes is that it allows for mirroring of the iPad2. Since it is a free app and the ads are not terribly annoying, it is certainly a worthwhile use.- All include an comprehensive User Guide with screenshots and explanations. Since the User Guide is a PDF file, users can try out the features while reading the guide.
- All allow the users to link to their Dropbox to retrieve PDFs. iAnnotate allows users to also connect to WebDAV, or a webpage. I have only used Dropbox.
