iBooks and notetaking
I have an iPad running iOS 3.2.2. I absolutely love it, and iBooks is a great app.
For school, most of my assignments are PDF files—half are scanned from printouts meaning they are technically images and the text is not searchable, while the other half are fully searchable and may even include photos, links, and indices.
Since PDFs are different from ePub, I was wondering if there was a way to take notes with my PDF files. I'd love to highlight and add small text notes to my PDF files in iBooks but there seems to be no way to do that. It'd also be great to underline/highlight by swiping my finger across the text just like on real paper, as opposed to double-tapping and then dragging on of the edge sliders.
Is this possible at all? If not in iBooks, is it doable in a third-party app? I think iBooks is almost a perfect replacement for actually printing out these PDFs but as of now it doesn't replace everything I need when it comes to PDFs (ePub files are darn close, though), as far as I know.
