Hello, HUG!

We have quite a number of schools out there using Chromebooks with Haiku.  When downloading annotated files from the Dropbox, this can cause a bit of trouble because Chrome's built-in PDF reader does not currently support the kinds of point comments (those red flags!) that Crocodoc currently uses. 

In the past, we have suggested the PDF reader PDF Zen, which seems to work pretty well in some cases.  Are there any other Chromebook PDF readers out there you use?

We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. 


Thanks!

Really need an answer to this... our students are using Chrome and having trouble viewing teacher annotations on their assignments!

Thanks!

Hi, Kori!

Have you tried PDF Zen yet? I know at least a few schools have had some success with that web service.

Cheers,
Justin

Just passing this along:
Our instructional technologist seconds the motion that PDF zen will display the comments.

Note: but that google drive integration (with PDF zen) is currently problematic
