The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Starting in Chrome OS version 73, is the ability to have native PDF markup in the Chrome browser.

    You have to enable it by browsing to chrome://flags/#pdf-annotations and select enable, then restart your browser. Then you can use the markup pen or highlighter. Works best on touchscreens. No stylus needed.

    And what's even nicer is you can do the markup from within the files app:
    With the PDF downloaded to your chromebook, open the files app and select your pdf (without opening it in the chrome browser), then hit spacebar to quickview and edit.
    After the edit, just select the download arrow to save it.
