When I use the pen to annotate pdfs on the Flyer, the width of the ink is WAY too large, even when I use the pen menu to turn it to the smallest setting.

The ink width is so wide that it's unusable for me. I was really hoping to read/annotate on the Flyer for work, but this seemingly small issue makes it impossible.

When I zoom in on a PDF, the ink width scales up proportionally. Ink shouldn't do this! I want to zoom in so i can write a small footnote in the margin, but the ink just gets bigger the more I zoom in.

Anyone else notice this? Anyone using the pen to annotate PDFs, and if so, how is it working for you?

One more thing: I can't erase or undo my highlights in the PDF viewer.
 
I didn't even try the built-in PDF viewer until you mentioned this. Which would be handy since using it doesn't freeze the screen for a snapshot scribble. Except that, like you said, the ink is too dang big. It looks like a kid grabbed a giant marker. It would be difficult to use is like this for professional wok, which is how I would use it. did you try the biggest size just for fun? riduculous, lol. I agree that its a problem. They limit you to one pen type and the smallest size is too big.
 
Same issue with pdf viewer--only one pen and one eraser and the smallest size pen is too large. Zooming does not help as pen size increases.

Strangely in Polaris Office--still only one pen but the smallest size is much smaller there. However, Word does not recognize the ink that is produced with Polaris on the Flyer, so not useful for sharing or even using on one's own computer. I am trying to figure out if there is way there--like converting to a pdf somehow but have not figured out anything.
 
This was the best I was able to get out of the PDF Viewer inking. Consistent with what you guys are seeing?
