I am looking for a page turning software that also has abilities of marking pages, crossing out lines of text, highlighting, etc. We are making efforts to eliminate paper and in order to get some of my old-time users to give up their paper copy of what they're working on...I need a digital format of the real thing. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Page turning software? What type(s) of files are you wanting to view? Are these scanned images of paper files, or are they electronic documents of some type? More info would be helpful.
Anything from a Word document to a Crystal report to a pdf. Nothing major...just taking a typical office document and turning it into something digital, yet editable so that I can eliminate having to print bundles of reports for users.
Let me explain WHY...maybe that will help.
If I push going digital and emliminating paper copies of the typical things that float around our office...the arguments I'm going to face (and trust me...they're going to come at me like yellow jackets) will be...."But I need a paper copy so I can "mark" where I am when I'm working my list." or...."But I need to be able to flip the paper over when I'm done." Silly things like that. I can't even convince SOME to duplex their reports much less give them up completely. So I'm looking for a software that mimicks a stack of papers. Something that allows the user to "flip the page", mark a line through the data she/he just "worked", make notes, highlight, etc. If that doesn't exist...here's someone's chance to make a nifty $.
It is much easier to use a common document format for everything, otherwise the viewer software needs to be able to read all kinds of documents. You can use a .pdf creation printer driver to print just about anything to a .pdf file, then use a .pdf reader to read and mark up the document. The link below might be useful.

There may be other options as well.
I know that's a possibility. I was just hoping there was something more akin to a Kindle type interface for pcs.
There is free Kindle software available. And you can read PDFs on the Kindle:

I'm not at all sure that there will be any real advantage over more conventional pdf reading software though.
