I recently purchased a galaxy note 10.1/2014. My goal is to transfer my lecture notes, currently in a big binder, to the tablet. The notes are hard copy text with script annotations on many of the pages. I assume that I either need to take pictures of each page, and convert them into pdf files, or scan them into pdf files. What is the best way to do all this and organize the notes into folders for each lecture – HandyCam, CamScanner, S-Notes, Evernote, Lecture Notes, etc? Beyond this, I would like to add images and videos, if possible. Can PDF files be inserted into any of these apps, which would then allow further stylus annotations?
I would use evernote and scan them in. You can scan via a pc to make it easier. Then you can further annotate with the plethora of pdf editors

Good question. I'm contemplating converting a bulging filing cabinet into an electronic one on Google drive.
what I have found so far hope this is of use to you. I'd love to hear from other experiences too.
I have camscanner paid version. This is really good, IMHO for improving and unskewing photos taken by the tablet. You can then upload to gdrive and in theory they should be ocr ' ed by gdrive. Trouble is gdrive doesn't seem to ocr images in pics embedded in pdfs, which is what camscanner uploads them as.
but gdrive does ocr jpg's fine. Camscanner also has an ocr function but frustratingly, this is only used for docs stored locally, and not added to the pdfs it Uploads!
So I think that this is a two stage process. Scan in camscanner, then using gdrive app upload the processed jpgs from the camscanner directory on the sdcard.

Not specifically a note 2 question, but maybe someone can help me out. I've been trying to share pictures taken between my wife and I on our phones. I have note 2 now and she has galaxy s3. I've been using google drive with an uploader program and shared a folder on each drive so when I take a picture, it uploads to my drive and that folder is shared with my wife and vice versa. that works but its clunky as the drive app kind of sucks for displaying photos and drive videos play like crap on the phone.
I've done the same thing with dropbox and thats better as at least the app has a photo section but that apparently only works with photos taken on my phone, so photos from the folder that my wife shared with me don't show in the photo section.
google + uploads photos but of course those get resized which i'm not crazy about, but at least those will display in the gallery. What I finally did last night is to add my wifes email to my phone and sync to picassa. Now I can see the photos she takes in the gallery, but that is a rediculously unsecure way to share photos. I guess not bad if its your wife, but still giving anyone access to your email isn't great.
Plus while it works on the gallery now, the gallery interface leaves a lot to be desired, I now have like 20 albums sitting there with no way to say Gallery, just show me the few I want to see.
And I still have to use dropbox or drive to upload fullsize photos as I don't want all my photos resized.
I want to be able to buy books in PDF format so that I can use ezPDF Reader to highlight them and take notes. What is the best way to do this if possible?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, looks like the best thing to do is use the Nook Reader app. It allows you to highlight and make notes.
Just a thought but can't you just change the ext to .pdf and see if that works.

Also a lot of the readers on Google Play have ways of marking passages and other types of note taking.
Hi there, I noticed when I import a PDF from into the S Note app to make annotations, when I export it again as a PDF to a computer, there is a significant drop in the file size and the resolution/quality of the pictures, text etc. on the PDF, making it so that it's not quite usable anymore! Is there a fix to this, i.e. can I retain the original image quality of a PDF if I want to annotate it in S Note? Thank you so much for your help.
I like using the Note as a note taker to write on top of my lecture slides, and then review them later on my laptop. The best PDF editor out there is the S Note app itself I feel, except for the annoying fact that once I export it back into my laptop it's all fuzzy, especially for the smaller diagrams. Using ezPDF Reader atm.
Same here, i was looking for an answer to the same problem. When i export s note .snb to a pdf file and open it on my pc it looks owful. My intension it's to print that pdf. any solution????
Hi guys.
Beyond using ezPDF Reader Pro, I wanted to use SNote for my converted PDFs from Powerpoint and the other one for text-only PDFs. The problem is that in this new S-Note the PDFs arent converting well, as I see some script is completely missing from the text. This didnt happened on my original Galaxy Note 2012 SNote app.
What is going on wrong? Could i modify something on the original PDF so the S-Note convertion goes well?
Is there any way to access to the pdf files saved in my phone(or watch) and read them easily with zoom in the moto 360?
Also is there any gallery app that allows infinite zoom for detail precision?
I want to be able to read documents and pictures of handwritten notes . Not sure if possible
Thanks so much
It seems like google keep allows me to do it but it is kinda buggy.
I wish I could find a better reader haha
this one works well:
