I use either I Annotate or Fox it PDF annotate program to mark up the DRF just like paper

Just downloaded Fox It app. Exactly what I was looking for and free. Thanks!

Know this thread been dead for a few months but figured I would revive it...

I inherited an iPad Mini from my daughter. I have marked up some PP's over the past few days using the free Adobe app and it works well for me. Do have a couple of questions that some of you might help me with:

1) What are the differences between the Adobe and Goodreader/iAnnoate apps (ease of use, added features, etc.)?

2) Is there any way to move the PP's to a desktop from the iPad after using them? I do like to save them for reviewing from time to time but didn't know if keeping them on the iPad would reduce memory....

You can create a PDF of the PPs, open it in Adobe Reader, and then mail it to your desktop via Adobe Reader. Then you can access it via your desktop email account and save it.

I used to do it the other way around more often. I'd create a PDF file of my PPs on my desktop and then email it to my IPAD, but I just did it the other way around and it worked fine.

I use Adobe Reader to mark up and make notes on the PPs. No complaints. Not sure about the other product.

Totally forgot about this option. I have done this in the past with other files. Thanks for the reminder!!

Have HP chrome book with 14 inch screen, 10.5 hr battery, built in T-Mobile 4G, 16 gb memory. Have used it with TFUS and Bris PDF files. Very fast no issues. Currently using bet/mix almost exclusively. Can spend all day in race book and battery seldom goes below 35%. No longer downloading files and backing up data base. Very liberating. Best of luck to all.

I use iAnnotate with Google Drive.
The setup allows you to constantly sync your marked PP's.

I also like that iAnnotate let's me create stamps and customized tool bars for my most used markings. It has allowed me to be more efficient and has shortened the time it takes for me to mark a full program.

I use the Google Nexus 7 and the iAnnotate Android app.

I still have the urge to print and mark up with a sharpie.

Surface Pro 3 ... Its great with TFUS!... You can split the screen and write notes next to the pp's with the stylus.

I use the same and really like it.

GoodReader allows you to email them right out of the app.
