Write on PDF

PDFs are extremely useful for reading long documents and reports. The thing which makes PDFs great is that once a document is converted into a PDF, the document's formatting stays the same. This is a great feature for PDFs as Word files normally show different formatting when using different Word versions. With PDFs used a lot for formal communication, it's obvious that you would sometimes need to add a few comments or suggestions or draw something to visually point out your idea. However, PDFs are normally not editable and you need a different paid software altogether just to be able to edit a PDF document. However, providing quick feedback on a PDF file can be made easier by free apps like Write on PDF. This app is a PDF annotator and lets you draw or add text to PDF files so as to provide your feedback quickly without any hassle.

The Write on PDF app is a Samsung offering and only works for select Samsung phones. The purpose of the app is to provide the Samsung user the chance to easily provide annotations on the PDFs they are reading. You might want to draw on the PDF file in order to help you in remembering something or you might want to add your own comments in order to be able to remember your thoughts when going through the file. It's also great if you want to provide quick feedback to any intended recipient by drawing or coloring or adding text wherever you want.

The PDF annotator app has an extremely simple user interface. It's easy to download but it's usually a bit harder to locate on the phone. The app does not add a shortcut automatically on installation. This means that you can only find the app when you would open any PDF file. When the file would be opened, you would be prompted to choose between your regular PDF reader and the Write on PDF app. Once selected, you can start using the various tools and features offered by the Samsung app.

There are three main features of the app including 'Pen', 'Eraser' and 'Text'. The Pen function is its most useful and its most elaborate as well. Designed keeping in mind the S-Pen, it basically allows you to draw or write whatever you want wherever you want on the PDF file. There are six different types of pens available with each offering a different drawing and writing style. You can also choose from a variety of colors and can also decide on the weight of your drawing or text. The Eraser feature is provided just so that if you do anything by mistake, you can erase it with ease. You can only erase any drawing or text you have added through the app and can't erase anything in the original file. The text function is for adding textboxes in the PDF file. This is a great option if you want to provide longer feedback or want to add a lengthier description. The text box is normally the more formal option and works just like a note does in the PDF file.

The app does have a few issues when it comes to saving the file. The files are saved with a different name and the recipient can only see the changes if the file is opened with the Write on PDF app.

Features:

• Great variety in the types of pens available for annotation
• Nice range of colors in which drawings and comments can be added
• Easy to remove whatever you have added with the Erase function
• Very simple to add textboxes and leave your comments wherever needed

Conclusion:

Write on PDF is Samsung PDF annotator app which offers nice features and great usability. If you are a Samsung user and regular read and review PDF files, this app can prove extremely useful.
