the fastest way to take notes using OneNote
in [Tablet PC]

From: Mike on 15 Feb 2008 17:36 Hi all, I am not sure if I can post questions about OneNote and generally note-taking as one part of student life here. If you know a more focused group/forum/list talking about OneNote and notetaking softwares, please let me know... My question is: Is there a notetaking software that supports the following feature? When I read e-books (in pdf) on computer, I use markers/highlighters to mark important portions. And then once I finish reading the book, by clicking a button I will be able to have all the marked portions (including text and graphs) all extracted out from the pdf file and put into a seperate pdf(or other format) file, and then the newly extracted book becomes a condensed version of the old book and a review-sheet with all the important points outlined. Can OneNote do this? Or any other software? I found it's increasing needed to create a marked-outline of those important portions of the books that I've read. Currently I am doing this by hand. It is extremely tedious. I have to copy the screen, and extract a portion as a bitmap, and then paste into a WORD file. But placing bitmaps into WORD file in a nice way isn't easy - it's very tricky to layout bitmaps after bitmaps. If there is no software/automatic solutions, any easier /more convinient solutions for the manual side? Thanks
From: Chris H on 15 Feb 2008 20:29 The microsoft.public.onenote, where the program is supported by the OneNote MVPs, is a good place for your questions. As for your annotating PDF file, you really need to bug Adobe because they're the ones dragging their feet with Ink support in their programs. If you do a quick search on the Internet you'll find quite a few programs which claim to have these functions, so the choice would be up to you. -- Chris H.

I searched a lot but couldn't find any software with the feature of not only annotating the PDF, but also extract out them to be a condensed version.

Yes they can annotate, but none of them can extract the annotated parts into a condensed version...
