Whether you are at the workplace, studying for exams, or conducting independent research or writing projects. The PDF annotator can be a powerful ally. Here are some ideas for how to put its various features to work.

The PDF Annotator is an excellent tool for anyone doing almost any kind of research.

Take detailed and organized notes from sources while you read them, tagging with knowledge categories, topics, or even future project sections.

Use highlights, pins and references to extract key quotes and information from articles and sources, copy them into your notes for latter use.

Build up a “to read” section by copying then tagging references that seem interesting or useful as you encounter them.

Use the Pin to connect sources to notes unobtrusively, building your bibliography and footnotes as you go.

Upload all your PDFs to keep track of them easily with a folder for each class or topic.

Pin the appropriate papers, textbook chapters, and handouts to each section of notes.

Use the highlighter to track what you need to work on; use different colors for ‘understood’, ‘ask questions’, ‘research more’, ‘flashcard’, and so forth.

Use references and pins when taking notes off textbooks or papers to copy essential quotes and easily find important references later.
