PDF annotator which doesn't "import" files

I'm a PhD. student and I have to study a lot of scientific articles, so I bought myself an iPad Air. I have been storing tens and hundreds of scientific articles on my Copy and Dropbox account, well categorized and organized in folders.
If I want to read and highlight or annotate a PDF on my Mac, it's easy; just open the PDF in Preview, highlight what I want and then save the changes, *without creating a copy* of the document.
But what if I want to do this on my iPad? Every app that I tried, when I opened the PDF that I had stored in Copy (say), it *imported* it into the app's library and if I made any modifications to it, the modified file didn't overwrite the original one, but instead saved a copy into the app's library that I could then open if there is a companion Mac app.
So: is there any iPad app to annotate PDFs and not create o copy of them that is edited? I would be really amazed and disappointed if not...
Thank you!

I've done a bit of research on this topic and found out that the app that I was looking for should be, in fact, a file browser, with Dropbox/Google Drive/other-cloud-based-storage sync and some PDF annotating tools. So I bought GoodReader 4 and I'm really happy with it, I can call it a close on this topic.
Thank you.

  • Browse which project to import files too

    Hi,
    I'm starting to do a lot digitizing of old photos/negs and have created projects by year for my organiztion structure.  Currently I import to a temp dir and custom name each month then move the pix to the right project and then album.    It'd be nice to be able to browse where/which project to import files to instead of just having the recent projects or new option, as the recent projects list doesn't show what I need.   Thoughts? thx
    shaun

    You can select the Project to import to by clicking on it in the Projects & Albums (Library tab) list on the left side of the screen instead of choosing from the Recent projects drop down list in the Import settings Dialogue on the right side of the screen

  • PDF annotation(comments) in acrobat increase file size rather than reader

    Hi,
    When I annotating(comments) files in Acrobat Professional(7 or 9) will increase the file size where as if I open the same file in adobe reader I can easily edit the page within short times,Please suggest what is the mechanism used in Acrobat.
    Regards,
    MohamedFaisal.

    Hi MohamedFaisal,
    I am not sure, if i understood you correctly. The file size grows big in Acrobat and when the same file is opened in Reader the size is less?
    Also, please help us with the details mentioned below
    1) Exact version of Acrobat being used
    2) Exact version of Adobe Reader being used
    3) Size difference, when opened in Acrobat Vs When opened in Reader.
    4) How was the file Created.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 doesn't import MOV Files

    Hi, All!
    I'm working on Windows 8.1 64 bit and use Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I've downloaded and installed on my PC latest version of Apple QuickTime 7.7.4.1680.86 from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    I've trying to use some free stuff from http://www.detonationfilms.com/Stock_Directory.html and mix it with my video. You may download example of Pre-Keyed Explosions using direct link: http://www.detfilmsshockwave.com/DVExplosion01.zip or any other stuff from this site...
    ...but my Adobe Premiere Elements 12 with installed the latest updates doesn't import these MOV Files with codec PNG Image
    In fact, Apple does not offer ProRes components for QuickTime on Windows, but I don't know do this problem interact with my trouble?
    IMHO, it's best  to look at the crash logs for QT32Server! I've found executable QT32Server on my PC in next folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\CAHeadless\32\Adobe QT32 Server.exe, but can't found any import logs on my Windows 8.1 including hidden folders. I have trying to check the windows events log for errors %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s but it contains no necessary items.
    I have trying to re-install version 6.5.2 of Apple QuickTime, but without success. May be I must try to install any other older version, i.e. 7.5.5 ?
    I think perhaps such behavior of Adobe Premiere Elements 12 is in design?
    May be I'd try third party free video converter, like SUPER e.t.c. to convert MOV container to AVI?
    Please help me to find a way to fix this problem.
    Sincerely yours,

    What is this "codec PNG image" that is contained/wrapped by the .mov format? What are the video and audio properties of this video...frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, et al.
    It sounds like you have Premiere Elements 12 is running on some version of Windows with QuickTime (latest version) installed on the same computer as Premiere Elements. Great. Requirement for QuickTime met.
    Where is this PNG.mov coming from? And what type of .avi were you thinking to convert to?
    Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime does offer an export with a PNG video codec with the .mov file extension. I am in the process of exporting my Timeline to that type of file and then determining if I can import that back into Premiere Elements 12 project.
    When your png.mov will not install into Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, what is the specific message that you are getting from the program at that time.
    More shortly after my export of the png.mov is finished. Any minute now.
    ATR
    Add On....The png.mov produced by Premiere Elements 12 Window 7 64 bit could be imported into a Premiere Elements 12 project. I am now going to my laptop which has Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 64 bit to do the same thing and see what happens there. Back soon.

    Use import option (File >> Get External Data >> Import)
    or use TransferDatabase action.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • How can my laptop access the downloaded files like mp3 and pdf documents which are in my iphone 4G?

    how can my laptop access the downloaded files like mp3 and pdf documents which are in my iphone?

    Yes you will need to NAT at some point to go from private to public address space. Here is a basic configuration if you are interested:
    interface F8
    ip nat inside
    interface G0
    ip nat outside
    ip access-list standard NAT
     permit 192.168.11.0 0.0.0.255
    ip nat inside source list NAT interface G0 overload

    You did not steal my thunder. You asked for advice, I provided advice. I assumed that since you nor the "support team" could find your files that you did not have any backup. You should have told us you do regular backups. We have no way to know otherwise unless you tell us.

  • AE CC doesn't import Mov Files.  Apple Prores / Animation Codec

    hallo,
    After Effects doesn't import my Prores / Animation Codec Files.
    at very first it did not work and the message appeared: "after effects error: file "xxx.mov" cannot be imported - this "moov" file is damaged or unsupported. "
    Then i restarted AE and my computer a few times and suddenly it worked. but after closing AE again, AE does the same error.  It does not work even with its own rendered Files from CC!!
    I have considered to use only files i know they have worked in the past.
    i also asked some freelancers to open it. and yes they confirm it works on CS 5, CS 6.
    also
    System:
    iMac, 27-inch, Late 2012
    Prozessor  3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Speicher  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Grafikkarte  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    I can not reliably import/export ProRes or Animation QTs with After Effects CC. I believe accepting the latest update to CC initiated this problem. I did not have this problem last week. I have converted all of my source QTs to .PNG sequences and .AIFs as a work-around.
    System Details:
    CS 6 CC | Mac OS 10.8.4 | MacPro5,1 | 96 GB Ram | PROJECT & MEDIA drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | CACHE drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac | CUDA Driver: latest update.
    Troubleshooting Info:
    • I don't have Blackmagic or Aja, but I do have Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac with the latest Nvidia and Cuda drivers. I'll try uninstalling... but I may want to raytrace in the coming days.
    • I've trashed the 12.0 folder and rebooted many times
    • repaired permissions
    • Multi-threding on/off doesn't matter
    update
    • "QT32Server process" appears then disappears Activity Monitor when I try to render ProRes (output module fails...)
    • No firewall
    • Uninstaled Nvidia driver. Restarted. Same problems.
    and then
    • Created a fresh admin user. This seems to work for now: I can read and write QTs through AE again. I'll update if there are any changes.
    update again
    • Once again, I  can not import ProRes QTs into AE CC. Making a new user only worked for 2 launches. The only software I used with this system/new user was Adobe AE CC, PS CC, and Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Best,

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

  • How can i import files to trial version LR5.6? Message:Your disk "MobileBackups", to which you are importing images, is low on space.

    how can i import files to trial version LR5.6

    I currently am up to about 65,000 images cataloged in LR. I backup on launch several times a week and have used the "relaunch and optimize" function periodically as well. I am a bit reluctant to do anything aggressive as, even though I have encountered this warning 6 or 7 times in the past 4-5 months or so I have never had to shut down. I have emptied the recycle bin (which, as I mentioned, usually has very little in it) and then I continue and notice no impairment of function. So at present it represents more of an annoyance and a bit of a mystery only. Maybe I will just report this to Adobe and sit tight unless someone can see an obvious explanation and correction here.
    I appreciate all of the input and advice I have received already.
