Hi is there any pdf reader for the g tablet that you can mark the text???
RepliGo PDF Reader. You can highlight (if the text is understood as text, depends on how the PDF was made), put sticky notes, and draw freehand. The last option isn't optimal, but once you get used to it, it's reasonably functional. It's not free, but it seems to be the only option out there, and $5 isn't too bad if you're like me and your work really benefits from this functionality.
excelent, it is perfect
Also, the QuickOffice HD that Gojimi ported over from the Adam has a viewer as well as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.
Looks REALLY good on the gTab!
Thank you but the quick office can't highlight the pdf text, or am i wrong?

You are correct, niether RepliGo or QuickOffice can highlight text in the form you are thinking of. RepliGo can "Select Text" to copy but it can't highlight text as with Adobe Acrobat (for PC's) does when you are using PDF like you would a text book and a highlighter to quickly find vital text for homework and assignments etcc..
I've used ThinkFree, Quick Office, RepliGo, and ezPDF but niether can highlight text and save the highlighted text to the document you are working with.
I've yet to find an apk that can match Adobe Acrobat as far as that function goes.
Tek - no, RepliGo can actually highlight text. And make sticky notes. And do other annotation. And it saves it to the document. I keep all the PDFs I use for my work on my Dropbox; when it syncs the changes I make via RepliGo, I can pull that PDF up on a computer and see the notes - hand written, highlighted, or sticky.
It can't match Adobe, but it does more than the QuickOffice suite does.
[EDIT] I've attached a screenshot of me using Reader to see drawn markups and a sticky note. This was a scan of a document written in 1926, so highlighting wasn't possible (the text is an image, not characters), but still, it demonstrates that the markups were made in RepliGo and are visible via Adobe.

I've seen the error of my ways, I've been browsing the PDF files on my network via Estrongs and simply opening them up from the network. What I did not see was that the files were being cached to a temp folder and opened as read only!
I copied a bunch of PDF files to my GTAB and then from there I was able to edit them (higlight, sticky, etcc) using REpliGo V3.1.2.
I should have realized it will only edit "native" documents.
Thanks for the heads up!

Hi,
Downloaded a few ebooks onto my Hero, was looking for a pdf viewer to read them. The adobe app doesnt cut it... no bookmarks, or pagejump? i wonder why they left those key features out...
Anyway, im after an app that will show me my pdf's in colour, and in text view (as in adobe reader app). But also have the ability to bookmark pages, so i know where i have read upto, and can come back to key highlighted points.
What are your suggestions? I have tried beamreader also, but cant find an option to create my own bookmarks so im guessing it does not have this feature
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Have you looked at Aldiko app, I think it uses .epub but u could always convert using calibre on your computer
The stock Adobe Reader
Looking for an ebook reader that supports highlighting and bookmarking of that highlighted text so that I can go back to review it later. If it works with flat files (ASCII), all the better. For example, I have some legal briefs which I want to be able to read, highlight and go back to later. Anyone have some suggestions?
If your documents are .pdfs you can use any tablet or reader running Android 2.0 or above with the Repligo Reader app. It lets you highlight, underline and annotate .pdfs. The app is $5. It's the best money I've spent after getting my eLocity A7.
Not sure if it meets your needs, but I know that Kindle for Android allows you to annotate, highlight and lookup words. I would probably mean converting your texts (which can be done with freeware) though. Maybe worth a look?
I have both DocumentsToGo, and QuickOffice on my G-Tab. DocsToGo will let you open a Word Doc, but when you go to edit, it opens a new edit dialog with the previous sentence (at most) visible. It does not seem to allow you to edit many formatting options, and I can't see any way to use it to insert an image file into a document. QuickOffice lets you edit inline, but otherwise seems to have the same limitations.
Is there a "complete" word processing program for the G-Tab that will let me do some formatting and insert pictures, as well as produce a .DOC or .DOCX compatible file?
Is there some way to setup Google Docs like this, and have it be available if I don't have a connection (maybe through dropbox)?
TIA!
I'm using the QuickOffice HD from the Notion Ink Adam and it works great!
It's available via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
Right now, the current version lets you connect to Google Docs and both edit AND create new documents (Word, Excel, PPT) as well as read PDFs
You could easily open a document up and re-save it internal to your gTablet for offline use -- or as you suggest use Dropbox to keep a local folder synced up for offline use...
Google only recently added support for the XML office files to GDocs -- so creation of new documents in those formats isn't natively supported in this version (but may be available in a newer version of QuickOffice HD I suppose)
Long Pressing in a Word document brings up a dialog with the following options:
- Add Image from Gallery
- Add Image from Camera
- Select Text
- Input Method
You can also change Fonts (inc. set Bold, Underline, Italic, etc), Alignment, Colour...
I think that just about meets your requirements (?) -- give it a try...
+1 for quickoffice tablet addition from notion ink. Works great for me!
OK, have given it a try. To begin with, I feel a little odd using it since I can't find the HD version in the market, so have to wonder if it won't up and die on me at some point.
In any event, I was able to insert and resize a picture, but couldn't find any way to select just the picture so I could try to center it. Selection handles seem a bit difficult to operate. Also could not find any way to edit my headers or footers, or to apply my document styles for chapter hearings.
Tool may support all this, but the online help isn't the greatest either. Half tempted to register and see if there have been any updates.
FWIW
The HD version is great. Use it for my college classes and I love it. Have the USB case and this and ur good to go. Being integrated with google docs and dropbox is a nice feature too

I just side loaded the Notion Ink Quick Office app, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to create a document. Am I supposed to create a Google Docs account or something? Or should I just be able to create a document on my G tab?

I think you click the app (e.g., word), then select SDCARD, then press the small + at the bottom, which will popup file or folder choice.
Jim
Got it, thanks. Very cool!
Wow i must say the Quickoffice HD is way better than my DocstoGo full at this moment. Wasted my money on Docstogo...
I like the ported canvas app as well.
This seems to be much better than doctogo.
It asked about registering it do I need to?
Nope it's optional.

Is there an app for the Xoom that lets you fill in forms? Adobe Reader doesn't allow it
I can't really give you a positive response but the following three programs don't allow filling an Adobe 9 form either:
Documents To Go (paid)
Picsel Smart Office (paid)
Quick Office HD (incl w/ Xoom)
Did you try a market search?
yup.. i did, thanks for the heads up though!
Repligo does what you need.
Repligo is the only .PDF reader that also allows you to draw/write free hand in a file that I found after searching for 5 days. I purchased it ($4.99) and figured it would be worth it because now I can take digital contracts to all clients and have them signed and copies emailed to them in minutes. If you search youtube for Repligo you will also see a full video explanation of the features.

Free hand is not exactly the same as filling out forms but it's a start. Thanks for the info! Hopefully companies will discover the value of the android tablet market soon.

I don't want to point out the obvious but if you have a scanner and printer then print the page outfill it in and scan it back to the computer... I think you could also print the page and scan it back in the computer under a different format so you could type it then do what you got to do
Think of PDF forms as being in the same space as HTML forms. You have discrete fields with the ability to have logic and calculations in Adobe's version of javascript. Handwriting over it or printing out negates the whole point of making it an Acrobat form.
I was told that the Adobe app supported forms but I have not tried it, so the person I was talking with was probably mistaken. I think Adobe themselves would be the most likely to support form elements in a standalone manner (i.e. not using the Acrobat Forms Server, or whatever they call it now).
thanks for all the replies. i wanted to use my xoom for work and have clients fill out forms via the PDF.
Here's what I've tried:
G:RSS (don't want a web based solution)
Google Reader (nice, but not quite)
NookFeed (doesn't work)
Nook Reader (doesn't work, just tries to open then closes)
NewsRob, Feedr, etc...
Calibre - push epub to dropbox...formatting is just a bit ugly. Don't want to have to wait for a scheduled time to sync.
All I want is a nice e-ink friendly app. If you could even get G:RSS without the damn add and the table size slightly increased, that would be perfect.
Of course i would find what I was looking for right after I post this. For those interested:

No google reader auto-sync, but it can import an OPML file that one can export from google reader (manage subscriptions > import/export > OPML)
Also can inverse the screen, and has nav arrows below. The only problem is it doesn't scroll (with or without hard keys). But the font works out so I can read nearly all of it, and there's a go to link button if you really want to check it out
EDIT: Seems you can scroll down the article with a swipe, but it needs to be nearly a top to bottom swipe. Also once you do this, you cannot use the nav buttons on bottom to go to next/previous, but must back out then select the article again. Still the best I've found
Why is it better than Google Reader?
Google Current has paged reading, which would be awesome. It can read rss feeds too. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the nook, see the other thread..

It's better IMO. Less refreshing, quicker, and better use of hard keys (I want had keys for both paging up and down the articles and their lists).
