I miss the continuous scrolling and the set mark/return to mark feature of iAnnotate, but apart from that it has all the features I need. GoodReader is a high quality app, and at 5 dollars in the app store it’s arguably better value than some of its competitors.
#GOODREADER APP UNDO HOW TO#
I immediately contacted the developer, and they had the same response as Branchfire (the developer of iAnnotate): they don’t know how to fix this in the short term.
#GOODREADER APP UNDO PDF#
When I tried PDF Expert 5 a couple of days ago, I ran into the same problem.
I compared a range of PDFs from different academic publishers, both old and new, and the result was consistently the same: iAnnotate would lump words together, while GoodReader didn’t. They suggested that I attempt to go through an additional step of rescanning the document in Preview or Adobe Acrobat on my mac, but since I already had GoodReader which didn’t give me this problem, I just switched apps rather than adding an additional step to my workflow. I had an exchange with the developers at iAnnotate about this, and was very sad to hear that they couldn’t do anything about it in the short term. Instead, if we accept the generalpointthat in cultural terms, teachers, like other workers, are creatures of their occupational situation, then we mightdo betterto addressourselves to how the materialcircumstancesof the occupation mightbe modifiedso as to elicit a different kindof culturalresponseĪnd that’s a total pain in the butt to edit manually. Looked like this in the annotations I emailed to myself: Instead, if we accept the general point that in cultural terms, teachers, like other workers, are creatures of their occupational situation, then we might do better to address ourselves to how the material circumstances of the occupation might be modified so as to elicit a different kind of cultural response For example, in a recent article I worked on, a sentence which looked like this in the actual PDF: However, back in March I started noticing that iAnnotate seemed to lump a whole lot of words together, which were not lumped together in the original text. I then create a separate file in Devonthink (copied to Evernote), where I add my own summary and comments to the annotations. Every time I have marked up a PDF on my iPad, I extract the annotations (this is a feature in all good quality PDF apps for iPad), and email them to myself as plain text. However, both of these apps have now left me with a problem which is a complete deal breaker: they lump words together when I export annotations.Įxporting annotations is an integral part of my work flow. I have also previously used PDF Expert quite a lot, and decided a couple of days ago to test out their new app, PDF Expert 5. I have previously sung the praise of iAnnotate in this post, as I consider it one of the best apps for marking up PDFs on an iPad. I use my iPad as my main tool to annotate research literature, as well as sorting data and commenting on draft papers or student work.
