I had an exchange with the developers at iAnnotate about this, and was very sad to hear that they couldn’t do anything about it in the short term. Instead, if we accept the generalpointthat in cultural terms, teachers, like other workers, are creatures of their occupational situation, then we mightdo betterto addressourselves to how the materialcircumstancesof the occupation mightbe modifiedso as to elicit a different kindof culturalresponseĪnd that’s a total pain in the butt to edit manually. Looked like this in the annotations I emailed to myself: Instead, if we accept the general point that in cultural terms, teachers, like other workers, are creatures of their occupational situation, then we might do better to address ourselves to how the material circumstances of the occupation might be modified so as to elicit a different kind of cultural response For example, in a recent article I worked on, a sentence which looked like this in the actual PDF: However, back in March I started noticing that iAnnotate seemed to lump a whole lot of words together, which were not lumped together in the original text. I then create a separate file in Devonthink (copied to Evernote), where I add my own summary and comments to the annotations. Every time I have marked up a PDF on my iPad, I extract the annotations (this is a feature in all good quality PDF apps for iPad), and email them to myself as plain text. However, both of these apps have now left me with a problem which is a complete deal breaker: they lump words together when I export annotations.Įxporting annotations is an integral part of my work flow. I have also previously used PDF Expert quite a lot, and decided a couple of days ago to test out their new app, PDF Expert 5. I have previously sung the praise of iAnnotate in this post, as I consider it one of the best apps for marking up PDFs on an iPad. I use my iPad as my main tool to annotate research literature, as well as sorting data and commenting on draft papers or student work.
