Effective use of pen and touch in PDF exchange Pro

Post by JohnCLeBlanc »

I'm now involved in music transcription, which relies heavily on both graphical input of musical notation as well as text. I'm there for using my Microsoft Surface more and more in tablet mode an relying on my Surface Pen for editing and input. I'm struggling to use PDF exchange effectively when not using the keyboard. I've searched the documentation but found very little information about how to use touch and pen effectively. I've just learned that PDF exchange has a touch optimized interface, which is great, but there is very little documentation. Have I just failed to find documentation showing how to use pens and touch effectively in PDF exchange? For these music pdfs and while using tablet mode, I'm now using Drawboard PDF as my first application since it is easy to annotate music PDFs both with musical notation and text. I also can't find much at all about touch and pen with PDF exchange with a general Google search . Are there any tutorials, introductory guides, or videos on how to use pen and touch effectively with PDF exchange pro?

Hi John,

I just replied to your other post on a similar topic. I agree the documentation there is scant, we'll take a look at that.

I've also been told that we will be focusing more effort on the Touch UI after the initial Version 10 release. As that work progresses we will endeavour to document it and make that available in a reasonable time frame.

I hope that helps.
Best regards
