Using the Tablet PC with Acrobat

Tablet PCs are growing in popularity in the legal community. Using one of these specialized laptops, you can write directly on the screen.

For example, Lenovo's X200 Tablet is a convertible which changes from a standard laptop to a tablet by swiveling the screen:

To use the Tablet PC with Acrobat, you'll need the $69 AutoInk Plug-in from Evermap.

AutoInk installs a toolbar into Acrobat that allows you to write directly on top of PDF documents.

To get a demo of this new plug-in, I went to James Province of the TabletLawyer.com. James is a practicing lawyer who resells Tablet PCs and provides consulting and training.

James was nice enough to let me record him doing a demo of AutoInk on his X200 Lenovo tablet.

Following, I also provide some additional information about using the plug-in.

Can a PDF Portfolio have bookmarks?

People just love bookmarks, the TOC-like panel that let you jump from page to page in a PDF:

Bookmarks Panel in Acrobat

People like Bookmarks so much, they wish they could have the same organization tool for a PDF Portfolio, which is a collection of individual documents in a PDF container. I have several other articles you can read on Portfolios in my Portfolio Category.

While PDF Portfolios don't have bookmarks per se, I do have a workaround that might make many of you happy.
