So far the best PDF annotation device, I have used is the Surface Pro 3. At 12 inches it displays PDFs very well. The pen is pressure sensitive and will reject any outside inputs.

Out of curiosity, have you tried a Samsung tablet with a Wacom digitizer and their S-Pen stylus? I'm currently looking for a device that lets me scribble into language learning work books, I'd be interested in hearing your comparison to a SP3.

Some people in my lab have samsung tablets (including myself), and others have a surface 3. The samsung tablet has all the right hardware but the software is lacking. In general. I've tried all of it, really. Android onenote, lecturenotes, papyrus, s-note, etc. It all kinda blows.

I'm curious about your lecturenotes negatives. It has so many customizable options I have a hard time imagining how it failed you. I've been using it for over a year for mostly math applications and it's been indispensable.

The only feature I would want integrated is the "infinite workspace" of papyrus. But even then who cares I can still have infinite pages.

Bluebeam? ezPDF? Any software than allows on the fly translation (word by word)?

Thanks

FWIW (anecdote warning) I have the Galaxy Note Tab 2014. The Stylus works great, but I only use it for drawing, and definitely wish I'd just waited for the Surface 3.

What program do you use to annotate PDFs? I have a Lenovo thinkpad with wacom support, but I haven't found a good piece of software to sign PDFs with.

I use qPDF Notes (there's also a qPDF Viewer, which I think is their free app) on my Samsung Note Pro (12.2")

I think you can import PDF's into Lecture Notes also, and annotate around them there, but I haven't bothered trying that, and I /expect/ it'd feel sluggish.
