You can expand these extractions to Edit them, Comment on them or add handwritten notes. AutoExcerptĪutoExcerpt extracts sections of your PDFs to your canvas. That way, a single tap would be enough to select many resources without having to tap the icon again. It would be easier if this feature could support a multiple-select mode. You have to keep tapping Select More each time you want to select another section. You can select multiple items to comment on them or extract them from the PDF.
#LIQUID TEXT REVIEW PDF#
Select More lets you select multiple sections in your PDF to act on them. Comments don’t extract anything from your notes, they just refer to them. For example, follow-up questions can all be red.

Selecting the text on the PDF gives you options to:Ĭommenting creates a note linked to the section you selected on your PDF. The first column won’t have this problem. The best way to go around that is using the pen tool to extract sections on the second column. LiquidText doesn’t handle two-column documents well. The pen tool can also extract PDF sections onto your canvas. They have a wide range and cover some basic, as well as, fancy colours too. For PDF reading, these colours are more than enough. Drag a colour to replace one of the favourites. The pen tool has 17 favourite colours that you can replace with one of 31 preset colours. The Straight one draws straight lines for underlining important information. To handwrite notes, choose the Freehand setting for your pen. These look and feel the same, but the Ballpoint pen (with pressure sensitivity turned on), works better. For a PDF reader, not a note-taking app, it is fantastic! The app has a BallPoint and Calligraphy pen, which you choose in the settings. Writing in the app feels natural and smooth and we love it. LiquidText has an impressive accurate representation of my handwriting. It is useful when you like referring back to your resources. In LiquidText, you can easily link ideas back to where you got them on the PDF. Most PDFs don’t have any space to write on, so the canvas comes in handy. You can annotate the PDF or write notes on the canvas. It seems they might have to bring it back down where it was before. iPadOS 15 has made them a bit of a pain to work with because tapping them accidentally brings up the multitasking gesture. Your annotation tools are on the top toolbar. You can move these around, but its best to keep them where they are, to avoid any confusion. The left sidebar configures how you interact with your documents while the right one configures your canvas. LiquidText has three toolbars, one at the top and two floating/mobile sidebars. Outlines are awesome because they help us navigate through our documents faster. You can resize this to make it bigger and you can toggle it away to create more space for working. You also get an Outline of the PDF if it has one. The DocPane lists all the documents in your project. You can then rename the document and Import Document to add it to your project.

The images can be from the Photos Library or Files. LiquidText creates a document from all the images you add. In your project, you can add documents from other LiquidText projects and choose the documents you want. You can easily switch between the documents as you take notes. You can add a lot of resources to your DocPane, but can only open three documents at a time. At least your handwritten notes remain uniform. This does not affect the zoom percentage of your canvas, which is awesome. The workspace in LiquidText has two columns that you can resize. LiquidText converts word and ppt documents to PDF first, before opening them in a workspace. In Files, you can select multiple documents to get started. On the homepage, you can import documents into LiquidText from Files, a website or photos.
