Annotating and Drawing in PDF Files

Librera supports basic annotation and drawing markup tools in PDF documents.

NB! These tools work only in SCROLL Mode

To make a PDF document suitable for drawing and/or annotating, the user should switch to Scroll Mode.
This will reveal the Edit icon on the bottom menu.

PDF Files without a Text Layer

• Handwritten notes
• Freehand drawings (a stylus is highly recommended)
• Blotting out text, pictures, credit card info, etc.
• Erasing previous markings

  Tip: Lock the “lock” in bottom right corner to prevent lateral movements!

PDF Files with a Text Layer

In addition to the above markings:

• Text highlighting
• Underlining
• Striking through

  Tip: Just select a word (with a long-press) to open the toolset

Marking Up with Preset Tools

The + sign allows the user to add to the list of tools just one of the three in the currently chosen color.
This creates a tool preset with which you can promptly indicate the words and word sequences related to each other or deserving your special attention (like the name Girault in the example below)

Saving Edited Files

• A Close gesture will open the Save changes? window
• You can save your changed file by tapping YES
• You can save changes to a new, renamed file. Tap RENAME
• Edit filename at the bottom of the Choose window, and tap SELECT

Note: The Eraser in the Annotations and Drawings palette can be used to nuke drawings left by other applications.

You can invoke the palette by:

• Tapping on a marking
• Tapping on the Edit icon on the bottom menu

Select the Eraser (Waste Bin) by tapping on it, and then tap on the markings you’re about to remove.
