PDF Annotator 3 Student License

Mark up any PDF file

*** Due to the overwhelming response GRAHL software design has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

Please note folks: Today's promotion is for the student license of PDF Annotator only. It's the exact same as the regular PDF Annotator license, but at a special price for all those starving college kids (sorry faculty, this doesn't include you). Students save 33% off the regular student license, which is a whopping 71% off of the regular license price ($69.95)!

For quite a while, Adobe PDF documents were a lot like goldfish - nice to look at, but you couldn't really do anything with them. For instance, if you wanted to make a comment or correction, you either had to email your suggestions outside of the document, or, worse yet, if you needed to sign a document in PDF form, you'd have to print it out, slap your John Hancock on it, then rescan the whole thing back into PDF.

PDF Annotator 3 brings a whole new level of utility to PDF documents, by allowing you to add your own comments, corrections, signatures, highlighting, even designs and drawings to PDF files! Your annotations are saved as part of the original PDF file, so you can email documents back and forth with coworkers and everyone will instantly see your notes when they open the PDF, without the need for any additional software.

With PDF Annotator 3, you'll have access to a handy page manager that allows you to work with your documents as thumbnail images that you can rotate, reorder, and clone. A toolbox function means that access to highlighters, colored text, underlines, and push-pins are just a click away. You can even use a tablet or your mouse to draw lines in freehand in the document, and PDF Annotator 3 will automatically smooth those lines into crisp and clean horizontal and 90 degree vertical lines. And, of course, you can manage bookmarks and perform perform text searches!

The latest and greatest version of PDF Annotator 3 gives you the ability to work within multiple documents, with navigation as easy as clicking on tabs to switch documents! Rotate and flip annotations, or crop the pages and add margins to make room for more notes. All of this, plus new tools for drawing arrows, lines, and geometric shapes, and PDF Annotator 3 is better than ever before!

But best of all, PDF Annotator 3 now gives you the option to create PDFs from any application's print menu or context menu. That's right folks, PDF Annotator 3 isn't just a helper-utility anymore. It's a full-featured PDF creation and annotation powerhouse!

Check out the PDF Annotator site for a complete overview of what's new in v3!

Michael K Just a note to say I bought the full license when it was last offered on Bits and I love this program!

I also wrote to support once and got a great response very quickly. from Oliver.

If I say more good things you might think the Developer and Bits Du Jour are paying me and........ you'd be wrong. It's just a matter of praise where it's due.

I shall make the same comment on the full license when it's on Bits again.

Thanks

Michael

Roger Thomasson @ Michael

Feel free to wax poetic, PDF Annotator is one of our most popular titles and has been for quite some time :-)

BitsDuJour Admin - Oct 15 2011 at 12:25pm

Rick Truell Some PDF readers will allow you to enter info into fields in a form and let you print the filled-out form, but you can't save it. Thus, if you find you have to add additional info at a later date, you have to fill out the entire form all over again. Will PDF Annotator allow you to save the filled-out form so all you have to do is update it as necessary?

Oct 17 2011 at 9:30pm

Oliver Grahl Rick: With PDF Annotator you can type on top of PDF documents, no matter what kind of documents they are. Your annotations will be saved with the PDF, in a form so that any PDF reader can display them (one doesn't need PDF Annotator to read your comments). When you reopen the document in PDF Annotator, you can edit, move or delete your comments and save again. So, you can write on top of forms, no matter if these are PDF forms, or just simple documents with white spaces (like a form generated from Word, which doesn't show form fields in Adobe Reader et al). Means, we ignore embedded form fields like Adobe Reader would use them, but you can place text boxes whereever you like in your document.

Let me suggest that you download our trial, so you can see yourself how it works.

Oliver Grahl Rick: We monitor incoming orders and ask for scanned in proofs in some cases. But over all, I think it's a matter of fairness in both ways, and we trust you!

At the moment I can't say if BitsDuJour will pick the regular version again for a deal, and when. We had it up here a couple of times, so chances are good.

If anybody here would like to get the regular PDF Annotator license, but doesn't want to wait that long, I think there's a 20% voucher available for PDF Annotator here on BitsDuJour. Click "All Deals" on the top, then scroll down to "Hot Deals" section.

Oh, I shouldn't have given that hint here in public... ;-)

GRAHL software design Vendor - Oct 18 2011 at 1:19am

HJ B I have tested this software and it is well worth the price. It is better than Acrobat for some of its editing functions, and also provides a free pdf creation print utility. Whereas Acrobat pdfs are composed in other applications, PDF Annotator also permits creation from a blank screen within Annotator. It also appears to permit selective locking of pdf features so as to protect against modification, in the manner of Acrobat.

Oct 18 2011 at 2:16am

Peter Smith I own adobe acrobat but still purchased this. It's just so much easier to add annotations and stuff!
Some of the tools do look a bit pre-W7, but they do their job and they do it fast!
Hopefully new versions of this software will give a more modern touch to some of the tools: shadows, more of a 3d look, more stamps and so on. But I'm pretty happy with it.

Oct 18 2011 at 5:50am

VLM To those who already have licenses for this product ... what is your opinion regarding the extra 2-years of upgrades and priority support?

Oliver, how frequently have major upgrades occurred in recent history?

Oct 18 2011 at 5:53am

Oliver Grahl @GuyWithTheLongName:

We issue major updates at least every second year, version 4 is due next year (Sorry, no info on what and when and where exactly, since this is really work in progress).

Images can be added (we support all common bitmap/raster formats). There's no special support for tables, although you can draw one and work with separate text boxes in its fields (but that's probably not as comfortable as you'd like it to be).

GRAHL software design Vendor - Oct 18 2011 at 6:01am

J J Hey oliver, Takes 2 seconds to right click & copy! How about showing some respect, after all, the gentleman is The Presiding Emissary !!!

Oct 18 2011 at 7:23am

VLM Thank you JJ.

Oliver, thanks for your timely reply. Yes, it would be nice to be able to work in real tables. How about this: Can one copy/paste a table from, say, Word, or perhaps from Excel (as a selection of cells). Or perhaps an html table from some reasonable editor?

More broadly, can one paste pretty much any printable content that one can get into a copy buffer?

Oct 18 2011 at 7:29am

Oliver Grahl @JJ: Respect is an important characteristic, totally agree! :-)

@VLM: There's no copy/paste of formatted content, sorry. Our scope are lightwight tools, not to replicate a word processing app. So, we more do markup, short comments, stamps, than whole paragraphs and tables. But the future will tell where all this will lead, never say never.

We're talking about one license for version three, yes. (Good point!)

Nelson Carvalho Hi,
(Sorry my Englsih)
You can insert a picture in the middle of a text or paragraph ?
The image stays over the text or the text is shifted?
Thanks.

Emily Willson For creating PDF documents, you can use Smart PDF Creator. It creates professional PDFs in a couple of clicks. You can try it for free here: http://www.smartpdfcr
eator.com

Oct 18 2011 at 9:15am

VLM Thanks for the suggestion, Emily. You just made me remember that Nitro PDF has a PDF-to-Word converter. I've not used it, but if it works well, then any PDF should become editable. :)

Oct 18 2011 at 10:17am

Oliver Grahl @Nelson: When you insert pictures in PDF Annotator, they will be on top of the original document, just like any annotation. We never touch the original content. One thing to understand about PDF is, that PDF is a print format, not comparable to word processing formats. That means, PDF documents only consit of instructions to draw objects at specified places on a page. They don't know about those objects' relationships (that those five letters printed next to each other will form one word, for example). So, it's almost impossible to reflow such documents after inserting a picture. The best chance is to convert the PDF to DOC like suggested elsewhere above. There are tools out there which specialize in that task. They may work well with most documents, but often they'll also have to give up, because they can only guess which letters form a word, which words form a paragraph.

Steven Aves Oliver, I was in the process of purchasing using the 20% off deal here at BitsduJour with the 2 year upgrade offer until I ready the description - The upgrade doesn't include Windows 7 or 8:

PDF Annotator Upgrade Assurance 2 Years [#300260211]

Unit Price: USD 29.95 [Volume discount prices]
Platform: Windows 2000, Windows XP x32, Windows Server 2003 x32, XP Tablet PC, Windows XP x64, Windows Server 2003 x64, Windows Vista x32

I have a Windows 7 HP Slate 500. So it appears this upgrade offer with the 20% off is either old or not valid.

Oct 19 2011 at 11:41am

Mark K @ Steven Aves

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I installed the trial copy. It installed and started fine. What I did find was the program sometimes blocked the cursor from showing on the opened pdf. I could move the cursor around the Windows taskbar and the rest of my desktop, but couldn't get it on the program. Sometimes it would work fine. I don't know if it's an incompatibility with Windows 7, a problem displaying on my HD display, my video drivers, or??

Mark

Oct 19 2011 at 1:22pm

MK I'm on Win 7 64 bit and no problems.
Refreshes a wee bit slow when changing view, but no blocked cursor problem.

Oct 19 2011 at 1:30pm

Oliver Grahl Steven: I didn't even realize this platform info is on the purchase page (which is hosted by our payment processor ShareIt, not by ourselves). It doesn't have to say anything and I'll get this removed. We currently support Win7, Vista, XP and 2000. There's no reason why we wouldn't support Win8 when it's out.

GRAHL software design Vendor - Oct 19 2011 at 2:43pm

Oliver Grahl Mark: I haven't heard of this problem before. I believe support has a workaround for one cursor issue, but I think that was different. Would you mind sending an email to support AT GRAHL-software.com, and ask for it?

GRAHL software design Vendor - Oct 19 2011 at 2:45pm

Mark K Hi Oliver,

I downloaded the trial to see what the program did. I'm not a student and believe in the matter of "fairness". Sorry, I'd like to help but I uninstalled the trial yesterday.

Oct 19 2011 at 6:06pm

Rick Truell Oliver:

Thanks for the answers. I'll definitely play with the trial some while waiting to see if the regular version comes up here. Or until I decide to use the 20% discount you pointed out. Depending on how long my patience lasts :-)

Oct 19 2011 at 7:20pm

Steven Aves Thanks for the quick reply Oliver.
