Hello, I do not own an iPad, but I recently got a Macbook Air. I am constantly taking notes in class. Is there any program I can download onto my macbook so I can take great notes on locked PDFs that I can store in google docs (just like my friends do with annotate apps on their iPads)? I know I can't use a stylist, but I would like to type, highlight, underline, etc. Please help!
Cheers,
AR

There's an app in the AppStore called PDF to Word. You can use it to convert PDF's to word docs and edit them as you like.

Thank you for such a great suggestion! This could solve all my problems, if the PDFs were not password protected. Do you know if PDF to Word will only allow the conversion if I have the password for the PDF? I definitely don't have the passwords for the PDF documents. I saw another app for example that looks great but it says "To convert encrypted word files, you'll need to type the corresponding password before converting."
Thanks Again,

I have been using the app for more than half a year and haven't encountered such a message so far.
That sounds good to me. Will have multiple options of annotation as well that are usurer friendly?
I use the app to copy parts of academic papers to documents I am preparing as references; In that sense it's very simple to use. . However, I'm not well informed on editing capabilities. You can give it a try and find out for yourself.
Thanks for your help and directing my research in the right direction! I will do a little more research and hope to find the app that "makes all my wishes come true!"
