“In December 2015, I reviewed LiquidText, an iPad productivity app for reading PDF documents,” James A. Martin writes for CIO. “At the time, I wrote that ‘LiquidText is a simple, useful app for highlighting text… but it doesn’t let you draw annotations using Apple Pencil.'”
“As of March 14, that’s no longer the case,” Martin writes. “The latest version of the iPad-only LiquidText app enables freehand inking with Apple Pencil and an iPad Pro. And with this significant update, LiquidText may just be the app for reviewing and annotating PDFs using Apple’s tablet and stylus.”
“Though LiquidText is free, you’ll need to make in-app purchases to reap the app’s full benefits. If you want the capability to view multiple documents, it’s currently $5. LiquidText Pro, which enables the inking, is currently $10 (or $5 if you’ve bought multiple document support).”

MacDailyNews Take: Let’s face it, there’s really nothing cooler than annotating PDFs.
Notability…is fantastic..but I’ll give this a look too. Thanks.
Ehhhh, Idunno, PDF Expert is the way to go if you work with PDF documents regularly.
Have been able to do freehand annotation in GoodReader years ago. And a whole lot more.
Goodreader was mind blowing with their first version..it was out right after the first iPad was released and really opened people up to what’s possible on an iPad. Transformative and, in my opinion, helped apple in ways they probably take for granted.
I like Upad 3. And it’s ApplePencil capable also.
I just spent $10 on the full version of this “LiquidText” app. And I am not happy!!! As soon as I do anything to one of my PDFs, it is no longer a PDF. If I email it to anybody, they can only open it on an iPad that also has this app.
If there is some way to do that, please let me know?

And that needs to be apple’s next ad for the iPad Pro.
Apple needs to highlight what apps can do on that big screen. This ad does just that. The way she circles the graphs and pulls them aside is fantastic.
Looks great! However, I don’t have an Apple Pencil “yet” because I hear the second version of Apple Pencil is coming out soon. In the meantime, my finger works pretty good.
Oooh — now we can scribble on a PDF just like five year olds with a crayon — earth shaking news! Wake me up when the iPad pro comes anywhere close to the PDF editing capabilities of a computer running Acrobat or Illustrator.
