About the pdf readers
-
Hi all, I have an interesting but easy problem. I read e-books but mostly I stop them before finishing all and than come back after 2 weeks to continue reading from where I have stopped. But boom! Neither Adobe Reader nor any simple reader let me put some bookmarks or take notes on the .pdf? I forgot where I stopped and what did I note down? I can accept than the notes that are taken on the e-book, are on seperate file than the original .pdf. I would be appreciated any help otherwise when I find time, I will try to code it myself.

PDF is not designed for e-books, anymore than Word. Yes you can use either of them that way, but the actual readers do exactly what you want them to do, out of the box. Why use a hammer when you need a screwdriver?

Foxit Reader remembers your position. I don't recall it doing specific bookmarks though.

Why a two-week delay between readings? Just jot down on a sticky note where you left off.

Under linux, kpdf always opens up the PDF to the same position as you were last viewing it. This works even if it's a PDF that you have downloaded again. Works very well.
