4. • The iPad constitutes a new interactive system of visual
communication.
• It can be used to read books and to communicate with others.
• It does not replace computers; rather it complements them.
• It is also very intuitive; users do not need to learn anything new and
the OS is the same as that on smartphones.

How do I use it?

8. UPAD
This is a note-taking application available for download from the
App Store. There are two versions, a paid one and a free one.
These differ in the diversity of formats in which files can be
exported.

13. UPAD
• This software allows users to create a new note or to modify an existing
document. In both cases, the edit tools are similar.
• There are different format options for text files: users can open a
new note and start writing, or they can open a PDF document or
image for subsequent editing.
• Documents can be given a title.
• Users can draw graphs using different marker widths and colours, or
delete them, and texts can be handwritten.

14. UPAD
• Tags can be added. This option is very useful, since the tags are typed
using the iPad keypad, and it is possible to modify font type, text size
and tag size and colour.
• One of the greatest advantages UPAD offers when adding information is
the ability to insert images. By clicking on the appropriate icon, users
can add images from their iPad photo album or from the iPad camera.

15. UPAD
• Another useful option is that part of a document can be selected by
hand. This is automatically marked in a different layer and can then be
cut, copied or deleted, or the colour can be changed. This option can
also be used to move parts of the document from one place to another.
• If unhappy with the result of these modifications, another option allows
users to cancel them, returning the document to its original version.

16. UPAD
Various options exist for exporting a finished document. If the original
document was a PDF, the format cannot be modified but the document can
be exported. There is a vast range of possibilities: the document can be
stored on the device itself, shared on countless social networks (Facebook,
Twitter, etc.), or even sent by email. Besides these options for sharing, if the
original document was a UPAD note, users must choose the format in which
to create it. This is where the difference between the paid and free versions
of the application resides, because in the latter case, the only option is to
export the document as an image, whereas the paid version allows users to
create a PDF.

17. iAnnotate PDF
This is a recommended PDF reader, notable for its speed of use coupled
with the ability to create annotations, as well as to manage files. The
application is designed for professional use and is only available in a paid
version.

21. iAnnotate PDF
• Given its name, one might initially think that this application only
supports a PDF format; however, in terms of reading files it also
supports images, Word documents and PowerPoint.
• Unlike UPAD, this software does not allow users to create a new
document for subsequent editing. Rather, it is used to edit imported
files.
• Users can import files or to create them as new graphic pages.

22. iAnnotate PDF
• The Scroll tool enables users to rapidly and smoothly scroll vertically
through the entire document.
• The application offers a wide range of mark up tools: pen, marker,
typing, stamps, adding notes using the device keypad, underlining or
striking through. It also allows voice recording and annotation copy and
paste, even from different documents.
• Furthermore, given the large number of options available, it can be
customised on the fly by dragging and dropping the required tools to the
toolbar.

23. iAnnotate PDF
• The search option can be used to look up specific words in order to
locate a given text in a folder, and a filter can be applied to the results.
• A multi-tasking tool enables users to have up to 8 documents open at
the same time, and to switch smoothly between them.
• Documents can be organised into folders or contents, and various
criteria can be applied to order them.
How do I use it?

24. iAnnotate PDF
• There are several export options. Before choosing where to export
(email, social networks, memory device, etc.), users must select
whether to permit further editing of the annotations to the original
document once the file has been exported.
• In addition, summaries can be added that include the types of
annotation made, page numbers, or the text that has been marked up.
• As regards security, the documents form part of the Apple Keychain
system.

25. iAnnotate PDF vs UPAD
As described above, both applications offer numerous
and diverse possibilities. iAnnotate is a powerful,
sophisticated and professional tool for creating, editing
and managing documents. UPAD provides similar
functions, and although it is perhaps not as powerful, it
has a possibly more intuitive interface.
Final remarks

26. iPAD, iAnnotate PDF, UPAD
Using applications such as UPAD or iAnnotate PDF
on an iPad provides a much more interactive and
visual mode of presentation that facilitates
enhanced content management and retrieval.
