    I just bought a new vaio and have been taking it to class

    BUT I'm having trouble adding in notes to my PDF lecture slides

    I'm currently using adobe 5.0 and adding in notes is pretty inefficient, and they don't print properly (become enlarged overtop of the slides and such)

    Is there a better program for taking notes on such PDF/PPT slides? Are the newer Adobe programs better for this??

    Thank you

    I;ve never tried writing notes on top of preexisting PDF's. I use Microsoft OneNote for notetaking and I love it. I'm inclined to say that one of Adobe's other products might help you with this, but I'm not certain.

    I've always found printing out the PPT and just writing/highlighting it works better.
