How to take notes on the computer
Hi Everyone,
I want to start taking notes on my computer directly on the slides. I tried to get the lecture slides from avenue onto microsoft one note but I couldnt figure out how to do it. How do you do that? Also, if there are any other programs that are better for note taking what are they?

If it is a PDF, download PDF X-Change viewer

http://www.tracker-software.com/prod...xchange-viewer

If it isn't already enabled, right click the toolbar and enable comment and markup toolbar

How do you know how to use the Internet? It's like you skipped a step.

Either print to One Note, or use a pdf viewer that allows inking and notes (i.e. Foxit). Some also allow copying and pasting figures from pdf if you're set on One Note. Pdfs are rather stiff to manipulate around though, so retyping or copying and pasting text might work for you.

Foxit reader allows you to type notes directly onto the pdf and save it.

Just use a sharpie on your monitor. Most computers digitalizeate your marker strokes into computerized writing. I think.
