Do you simply want to annotate the PDF documents or actually edit the content. If it's the former then either iAnnotate or GoodReader will work just fine. iAnnotate is the Rolls Royce annotation program but GoodReader is much cheaper and does a whole lot more.....

Tks for your help. I just need to annotate the PDF file and I hv also bgt the iannotate software but how do I bring up this software when I m in iBook ??

For eg, I hv scan a music score as a PDF file and park it into the iBook library. As I need to put in some notes on the score, how do I do it using iannotate ??

Tks for yr help.

Once it's in iBooks, the only way I know to get it into iAnnotate is to email it to yourself. The book is then sent as an attachment. When you receive the email, you can open the attachment in Mail and then select the 'Open in' option from the menu bar. It's a workaround, but I don't know any other way.

You might want to take a look at GoodReader, neu.Annotate, PDFReader, even Quickoffice Pro HD.

PDF files that I just want to read, but not do anything else with, I load into iBooks. If I want to highlight or annotate them, I use GoodReader or iAnnotate.

Even if you have PDFs in iBooks, if you can find them using Safari, you can open them into one of the other PDF applications. Otherwise, as an earlier poster suggested, you can email them to yourself and open them into one of the other apps.

By the way, I forgot about Dropbox, which can be used very nicely with GoodReader, to store or access PDF files.

Currently, I think that you will have to email the PDF file to yourself. You can then tap and hold on the attachment and open it in GoodReader.

There is probably also a way to sync your iPad to your laptop or desktop and copy the files to a place where GoodReader can access them. Another poster may be better able to detail this option than I can. There may also be something in the GoodReader instructions for this.

If the PDF files are on Web sites, you can use Safari and open them in GoodReader.
