Dear All,
I'm looking for a specific workflow but haven't been lucky so far. It's quite important to me - if I don't find a solution, I would sell the Note 10.1 again...
One big thinkg I'd like to do with the Note is to read scientific PDFs (e.g. Nature, Science,...) and highlight text in them. For a smooth procedure, I would like to have the following functionality:
- Highlight text with the pen (and pen only! Not with the fingers)
- Move, Zoom, etc with fingers (and not with pen)
Both functions should work at the same time without the need to switch anything.
This functionality is present e.g. in S-Note when you choose "Pen only" (I think that's how it is called). Then you can write on the screen only with the pen, while the fingers will zoom etc. No interference between these two functions. However, AFAIK S-Note cannot handle PDFs...
I there any PDF viewer/editor which has such a function? I've had a look at quite a few but found nothing...
Doesn't need to be a free app.
Many thanks in advance &
Kind Regards,
Andre
P.S. To make myself even clearer: In all PDF apps I tested so far the workflow is the following: (1) Use fingers to zoom, turn page, etc. (2) To highlight, go to menu, select highlighting pen, then select text. This often goes awkward if you place the balm of your hand too early on the screen because then everything between the hand and the pen is highlighted... Depending on the App, the highlighting mode stays on or it turns itself off after one highlighting procedure. (3) Turn highlighting off, (4) zoom, move page,... (5) turn highlighting on again... This is too tedious. I would like to use it as if you have a physical sheet of paper and a highlighter pen.
