JUDGES REVIEW

PDFs remain a widely used way to convey and consume long-form content, like instructions, studies, and papers of all sorts. When I read one, I often like to annotate and hightlight. But that’s meant printing it out until, well, relatively recently anyway. Rather than wasting paper, I’d rather consume a pdf on my iPad. But marking up a PDF hasn’t been as easy as using a pen or highligher. With a number of freehand notetaking applications it’s now become quite possible. And I’ve tried a bunch. PDF Cabinet is the best app I’ve come across so far for marking up a PDF. It’s focus is one of those twin-edged blades though. You can only use it to mark up a PDF and a PDF only. Other apps allow you freehand your way through a variety of PDFs AND images. So it has limited applicability. Another con: It’s got a funky interface where the main metaphor is a leatherbound notebook, which gets carried to a disconcertingly weird extent: Notebooks (the equivalent of a file folder) are denoted by leather labels stitched to a leather surface. It looks like something you’d find inside a jacket in a closet instead of a notbook on desk.
