Working with PDFs on a grad student dollar
March 3, 2009 2:49 PM Subscribe
I need a way to annotate/highlight PDFs for cheap/free. Illegal solutions acceptable.
I'm a graduate student in biology. I recently got my hands on a copy of Endnote and have been collecting all my papers digitally and linking them into the library. Since I'm going all-digital, I need a way to mark-up my PDFs with notes and highlighting.
I absolutely CANNOT afford Acrobat Pro. I really, really can't. I make $1,100 a month, live in LA, and my advisor left the school unexpectedly so there is no grant money around.
I'm just trying to finish this thesis so I can get out of this nightmare. If anyone has suggestions of alternate programs, hacks, torrents of cracked versions, whatever, I'd really appreciate it.

This post was deleted for the following reason: it's pretty clear form the FAQ that illegal solutions are really not what AskMe is for. -- jessamyn
