How do you enable your PDFs so that you can add handwritten notes? in Adobe Acrobat Professional: Comments | Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader... Then when the file is opened in Adobe Reader open up the appropriate toolbars. Does that mean you can make handwritten

Hi Thomas, Sometimes ago I asked a related question about TeX, iPhone and electronic books, as far as reading mathematical and technical papers are concerned. But now that the iPad is out your question makes even more sense. I don't have yet an iPad but found the following after reading your

I have a full TeX suite on it (w32tex since I'm running on a 4GB SSD), as well as traditional graphic design programs like FreeHand and FontLab. Handwriting recognition works well and allows me to not carry the added weight of a keyboard. Using a stylus works well for me and is very

Otared, Hans, William, and all, thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions; there's a lot of useful info in this thread! In my personal workflow, I don't think I could actually use an iPad or a similar device to produce content; so running TeX on it is not something I find interesting. But

Hi Thomas, you can even do presentations of PDFs with an iPod touch. You will need a dock connector/ TV out cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/ ht1454). In iOS 4, you have direct support of PDFs, i.e. you can copy PDFs directly to your iPod. Before that, you needed a separate app to view
