How good is the palm rejection? And, can I download PDF files and add blank pages to add my notes to that PDF file on any of the recommended apps?

Certain apps can do exactly want you want, I suggest getting Noteshelf on the App Store, it's an awesome note taking app (I use it and I absolutely love it) you can download your PDFs and add additional pages to it. As for this stylus, noteshelf has a palm rejection feature that syncs to the stylus and it's awesome, you can write while having your palm resting on the screen. But make sure you disable multi tasking gestures. It's really neat, Palm rejection works so great I had no problems whatsoever.

the palm rejection worked great for me.no problem there. as for the PDF files, i didn't even really get into that. the buttons on the pen were simply undo and redo shortcuts in the app i used. i used the pen for about 10 minutes and didn't like it simply because the lines would not come out straight. not good for tedious work. hope this helps

I've had problems with them. The 2 finger scroll does not work. The other options work though, such as setting it to maximize a page with 2 finger tap or returning to desktop with 3 finger tap. You can set those to perform other options too. But you are right, finger scrolling does not work.

I was lobbying customer support to add the capability to upload PDF files :) I just got this idea - you can read email attachments, so could you send yourself a PDF and read it?????

Sorry, Mohammed - I am having a bear of a time just trying to get my Encore 5.0.2 to work properly (you have to exit the file and re-enter in order to edit mistakes, as if it forgot what it was doing right while you were working on a very delicate musical passage. It's a very nice program otherwise, but seems to be quite self-contained. A quick perusal of "Help" and "Open File As..." mentions nothing about PDF. Nor is there a Converter. The last posts I have seen when I Google "GVOX" or "Encore 5.0.2" are from around 2011. Tell you the truth, there are a lot of questions I would like to ask them.

The Palm TX comes with a plastic digitizer. The touch screen that is used for stylus input. Over time the plastic tends to stretch for lack of a better word and you begin to experience problems with drift, etc. The glass screen eliminates this problem and in fact gives the TX a more solid feel. There are 3rd party programs that can also address some of these problems but over time they will return. This replacement will markedly improve the funtionality of your devise. The site on E-bay is called itsnotthere. The gentleman fixes and sells updated palm devises. His rating is 100% which is incredible, but he does excellent work. As I mentioned for a fee he will even add an internal microphone. There are other places that sell the digitizer but you will have to install it yourself which takes a degree of skill. For about $75.00 you can have it done professionally and have essentially a new Palm TX.

You can easily scan a mufti-page document to PDF using the ADF (automatic document feeder) and included software. I prefer to use Adobe Acrobat professional to do the task (Create PDF with scanner) as it works best in my workflow. Tip: the Paperport software included really sucks and uses non-standard formats for saving documents. There is an option on installing the drivers to skip it. I recommend you do as it adds startup overhead for software you will never use.

I originally had the Note 2014 edition and replaced it with a SP2. Ultimately, I wanted to - take notes with a stylus- work with Word (work/school)- annotate PDFs with a stylus- Full web browsing (teach online, so full browser was key)Ultimately, Android is terrible at handling PDFs (seriously, check the reviews for PDF annotating apps) whereas Drawboard and OneNote are perfect for this. Also, native Word beats any and all attempts by other programs. OneNote + Wacom Stylus = perfection in note taking.And... as a bonus, all the desktop programs work. I can do everything with my SP2. I still had to lug around a laptop if I wanted to do Dreamweaver, etc. with my Note 2014.Your use-case may push you in another direction.

Re frame grabber: I haven't seen a paper manual or even a downloadable pdf manual. I bought the download version, rather than the boxed version. However, it has pretty good helpfiles, and there are a number of very useful videos on YouTube. Mostly I'm working with building a narration with a music background, for which I use the Acid Music Studio that comes with the package. When I'm done, I will load the narrative-music audio file into Sony video studio and complete the movie. As for a frame grabber, there is a frame grabber that copies a frame from the preview window and allows you to save it. I've never used it, but I'm sure it will work. If I want to grab a frame from the internet, I use the shift Shift Print Screen function in Windows, then paste the frame into Photoshop or other digital editor and crop out all the garbage. That works great. Hope this helps. C.B. Hampton

No, you will have to use a capacitive stylus. It gets the job done in One Note but no palm rejection. I agree you can't beat a digitizer pen.

Goes anyone know of a good "stand-alone" (as in NOT with a telephone) PDA?If so. PLEASE let me know. Thanks.

The Tungsten series were the last of the PDA's with Tungsten E being the first and TX being the last. On smart-phones, the Treo 650 was the last to have the Palm operating system. The Treo 700 and later having the window os which IMO was more confusing. My wife and I both use the Tungsten E2 (enough upgrade over the E to make it very worthwhile and definitely a huge upgrade over the Zire 150) and we have never had a problem. Also, don't disregard the used ones on Amazon (some as low as 15 dollars), we have always had good luck on the used ones, just make sure that you at least get one with a stylus, usb charging cable, and good battery. Good luck

you need a application, such as Annotation.You can open PDF file on that application and add notes on it.And I believe this device is good enough for taking note.But it's hard to write small size words. And also you need to optimize window system.(you can find how to optimize on forum web sites.

Since you asked, I've done a little research. Support appears to mean read. I downloaded two apps that will allow you to start a new document, but its not full-featured. When I made typos, they weren't recognized and the review pane was off the screen. Not very helpful when I make so many mistakes!

I primarily use this to sign PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat. You need to download other programs to use the pad. It works well though I mainly use the same sig over and over instead of putting in a new signature.

You should be able to do that. Actually, that is why I bought this program because I had a blank govt. PDF job application that I wanted to fill in the requested personal information with my computer rather than write it in. It worked well for me and the price was right rather than buying a current version of the program./

As a simple stylus, sure. You'll have to check penultimate website to see if they support pressure sensitivity, eraser and Palm detection. But I don't know why you'd buy this if you don't use paper. Paper is a free app, and if you use pencil with it, all of the paid tools are available for no added charge.

I might get an-hour. Ematic' nor Android apps impress me. Get a regular laptop computer. The tablet is so-so for reading pdf books' my primary reason for purchasing it. Cao!
