Just to distill what I was getting at in the previous post: I think the ultimate outliner needs to have a very easy (drag-n-drop, hotkey, markup) internal and external linking capability, so that all ...

In terms of academic process flow, what I've been finding challenging is to a) to be able to annotate a reading, b) have the annotations organised thematically into a a hierarchy (outline) while prese...

Oops, sorry - the PDF Preview menu doesn't work on mine either. Though Home and Help are fine.

Alternatively you could combine a scanner front-end and OCR such as ABBYY FineReader http://finereader.abbyy.com/ with a PDF organiser such as Debenu Benubird PDF: http://www.debenu.com/products/deskt...

But I'd also say that managing textual fragments (notes, quotes) and outlining are closely related and it's a bit of a poorly served area. CT and PiggyDB seem to have some answers to it, but generally...

New Ipad, what apps to put on it?

Multiple Monitors
