Pdf viewer that allows you to annotate and save your annotations
 
im looking for a pdf viewer that lets you annotate the document (either text or handwriting, i dont care)

kindof like you can in Okuliar in presentation mode but with the anotations being persistant if you change slides, and then being savable so you can acsess them later.


basically im often in a lecture where the lecturer expects us to view the slides on our laptops while he anotates them on the big screen i need to be able to copy thease anotations onto my own copy for later without having to print the slides beforehand (expensive on uni printers) and use a pen

You need the genuine Adobe reader (free from their website) rather than one of the open-source ones. Of course, the document must have been created with commenting enabled: check by clicking on File - Properties - Security.

Okular in kde4 does a good job, although the annotations don't show up in other pdf readers unless you print it to a pdf

PDFedit, is for advanced users, and is said to be "the most reliable PDF editor for the GNU/Linux desktop

Jarnal
Quote:

Jarnal is an open-source application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal, making a presentation, annotating a document - including pdf - or collaborating using a stylus, mouse or keyboard. It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal and to the earlier Mimeo whiteboarding and Palm notepad applications. There is also a commercial knockoff of Jarnal called PDF Annotator - for $50 you can enjoy a subset of the capabilities that Jarnal provides for free.
