The views expressed in this website are those of me and not my firm, Black Helterline LLP. So, if there is something you don’t like, blame me.
The trademarks, trade names, service marks and the like used on this site are the property of their respective owners.
From time to time I may refer to products and services available on the web. If they are products I use and like, I may use a “referral link” that if you click, I may get some sort of spiff, free month of service, whatever…I won’t do this unless it is a product I use myself. Fair enough?
Sometimes developers give me free versions of their products to review. If I decide to keep any of these products for my own use, I’ll pay for them after the review is completed.
Finally, even though I’m a lawyer, this site isn’t legal advice and I’m not your lawyer. Yeah, it is kinda silly to have to include a statement like this on a blog about the iPad, but some people have to ruin the fun for everyone.


Do you have a review of PDF products for the iPad? I want to annotate PDFs that I read — and wonder if an iPad can permit this. Here is one example of an app:

Great question. The short answer is that there is nothing out there right now that I would use for myself. I do know of one product, Aji’s iAnnotate, that some people use and like. It appears to have the expected annotation tools like text notes, underline, highlighting, etc. I plan on tackling this in a review sometime soon so you can get the full scoop. From my searching (that I have done a lot of), I think this is the only true iPad specific annotation tool out there.
Same question. Pdf’s?
Perhaps something is in the pipeline?
Take a look at iAnnotate. My review is here and the app has since been updated with features addressing some of the drawbacks I mentioned. As far as I know, iAnnotate is the only real game in town with the feature set desired by lawyers.
