hi this is Matt Matt in this video I'm
going to introduce you a very useful
note-taking software let's get started
[Music]
many of you know I'm not taking software
like Google keep Microsoft OneNote and
sorna and you use them in your online
courses recently one of my friends
showed me another software PDF annotator
and I really liked it and I decided to
share it with you there are really cool
features excellent tools in the software
I'm going to share it with you in a
minute but first of all let's go to PDF
annotator calm and download the software
you can click the link in the
description below and access the website
and here's the website this is not a
free software by the way but we can try
it for 30 days they just released the
latest version of PDF annotator guys it
has PDF annotator 8 they just released
at last week and let's download it and
try it if you like it you can buy the
activation key and use it forever you ok
let's install the software
it is installed now let's see what we
have when you first open it it elevates
flow because it uploads some pages from
the internet and we can close this
introduction page now we need to create
a document or a floor the PDF file to
work with this software ok let's create
a document first we just need to click
the file ribbon and choose new documents
and look at those options guys we have a
blank paper striped paper squared paper
and graphing paper designing papers and
dots papers there are a lot of options
I'm going to choose 5 millimeter squared
paper we can also set a paper size I
really like a 4 but letter size is
popular here so I'm gonna choose a
letter size and you can also decide the
number of pages you need and let's say
10 pages and click OK I want to use my
graphics tablet and write something but
the cursor is not visible you are
probably seeing it very well because of
the screen recorder I'm using it it
effects some animations on it but when
you try it you will see the problem and
I will also share it with you now so
look at this one guys so it doesn't look
really good right it's really hard to
see the cursor however on there is a
solution let's click on extras ribbon
and it shows settings and there are a
lot of settings here and we can go to
cursor now and yeah let's make it
visible all the time and that's great
you can you definitely need to open this
setting guys now it is easy to follow up
I created 10 pages documents and if I
need more pages I can easily add it and
we can click edit ribbon choose page and
see I can insert different kinds of
pages different sizes and multiple pages
here if I want to delete some pages
again I can use the same ribbon and
related I can also edit the pages like I
can rotate it and I can move it etc and
let's start writing it right let's write
something on it I'm not using this
software like that because I usually
upload my PDF files but if you don't
have PDF files if you want to write on a
blank paper so it looks like that
when you write on it so now I will
insert a PDF file and let's click the
file ribbon click open choose the file
and I created this nine questions sample
for you guys to show on all the features
of the software my document is here but
again it doesn't look user-friendly
right all these are toolbars and ribbons
and options I really don't like it so
click this little rectangle icon at the
top it is fullscreen icon and let's zoom
in yeah that is much much better right
and on the left hand side we have the
toolbars and we can easily access the
tools now and after we edit this toolbar
it will be really really really useful
for us I'm using blue green and red
three pens and let's add them here let's
make this one blue I always choose the
second thickness that's great I will do
the same with the green and I need one
more a red pen let's click on the
Settings icon at the bottom close this
part and let's choose a blank rectangle
here it automatically gives you a pen
and let's make it red okay and we need
to move it to top next to other pens
right you need to click ship move up
button but the thing is you have to
click it one by one and let's change the
thickness and use them to solve first
question
I also use highlighters one yellow one
blue it's really useful you can
highlight anywhere you want it can be
attacked a picture or your solutions and
there is also additional setting here if
you click this on text option the red
one if you open this and the software
detects the texts and you can only
highlight a text so if you click the
world it will automatically be
highlighted however I don't use it
because it doesn't let me highlight my
solutions you see it says no text found
there's also a text tool sometimes it is
not easy to write long sentences with
the pen and in those situations guys I
use a text option and just type on it
and there are two text options you see
the first one has a white background the
other one has a yellow background I use
the yellow one in my lectures because I
want my students focus on what I am
writing on it right and next there are
some stamps here they are really useful
when I solve multiple choice questions
or questions like in example two we have
some correct and some wrong answers here
and they can definitely show the
solution with test stamps okay look at
these guys it looks great it looks
professional and when you click on these
stamps guys you can see tens of them
here and you can choose the one you want
to use in your lectures and there are
also some emojis here okay they are
really cool let's try this one
very good very high quality stamps we
have
and there are also some dramatic
elements we can use to enhance our
online lectures and we have lines arrows
and some shapes here let's change the
settings one more time and see the
elements on the toolbar I want to add a
line here and align with the arrow here
and I want arrow on both sides to create
something like coordinate planes and you
can choose what exactly you want that's
great and I want a dashed line and
they're really useful in geometry
lessons and there are also two shapes we
can add we can add a rectangle and we
can add an ellipse and let's talk about
example three we and we draw a table
after we find the roots right so we can
use the line tool
however it's not easy to draw vertical
and horizontal lines there are two ways
to cut this problem the first way is you
can press shift while you are drawing
like we do in Microsoft Office programs
it gives you the lines in every 15
degrees and if you say my keyboard is
far away from me and I can edit I cannot
reach a shapes right and you can
definitely click this line tool and open
this setting the angle one it gives you
the same future
a next example once also draw a triangle
but we don't have a triangle in this
software and however we can easily use
the line segments to draw if you want to
create triangles you don't need to open
this angle setting guys because
sometimes it doesn't let you connect the
corners as you want and it's useful when
you draw right triangles but not useful
all the time and there's another feature
here guys the software automatically
detects the shapes and connects the
corners by itself when you get closer
closer to it and it's really cool and
let's talk about the question again yeah
it says draw a right triangle let's
raise that one and to access razor
quickly guys we can use the shortcut
cheese on the pen you have here and or
you have a shortcut keys on the tablet
you can definitely use it if you don't
want to use those keys guys you can use
your keyboard and E for the eraser and P
for the pen and they are really really
useful I also use another shortcut the
letter U
it is a selection tool it lets you
select things you're right and roll by
using these two guys you can definitely
move your writings move your drawings
and you can change their size you can
make bigger and smaller or you can
duplicate them and let's draw a right
triangle ABC here and I need two
perpendicular sides right it's like one
vertical one horizontal so I'm gonna use
the angles angle option for those two
sides but I'm not gonna use it for the
last one so here is the right triangle a
next example once asked to draw a
coordinate plane now we can use the
lines with the arrows let's open the
angle option one more time and draw it
and here's the current plane we can now
show the points
to solve this question guys we don't
need to actually draw it right we can
also upload a blank coordinate plane as
a picture from your computer or from the
internet so let's search on Google as I
found a lot of blank coordinate planes
here and that this one looks really good
let's just copy and paste it to PDF
annotator you don't even need to
download it guys just copy and paste it
and after you paste it you can resize it
and that's it you can annotate on it it
is really simple next let's talk about
measuring angles we can measure distance
area perimeter and angles in this
software is a cool and I will show you
how we measure angles I will leave the
full-screen mode and choose the angle
sign right here you have to choose the
vertex first and then one side and this
sides in should be in a way that you can
draw your angle anti-clockwise you can
also graph with this software I'm going
to create a bar graph not with those
values but I will just do a random
numbers random bars let's create the
first axis by using line segments and
again the angle option open okay now let
me put some random bars here we can use
rectangles to do that and by the way
when you draw shapes like rectangles
guys you may realize that it gives you
the dimensions and area at the top
another thing when you choose a
rectangle tool and click this Red Square
icon it gives you the square and ellipse
tool also works the same you can graph
ellipses and if you click this red
circle option it gives you circles I
actually talked about copying and
pasting picture option and I will give
you another example very quickly we can
use digital tools to graph this function
right because we don't have a graphing
tool here but after you graph it you can
copy the graph
by using snipping tool and paste it here
then resize it annotated investigate all
the important elements of the graph and
the last example once asked to draw a
crude triangle and it wants us to find
the height and for those questions guys
you can definitely use a dashed line I
will show you one more same guys
the laser tool they just added this
feature of last page it is really cool
it's a digital laser and you don't need
to highlight everything because it looks
messy when you do that right you can use
this tool and students will easily
follow what you are showing and there
are more and more tools you can
definitely check your shelves and try
and see how it works and please comment
below your experiences and share with us
you
