OS X, iOS, MacOS X - PDF Documents in Teaching Annotations and Full Screen Viewing

in progress 8Jan2011...

Want to be able to teach from a PDF document, click on links in the document, add annotations while presenting, have the PDF displayed full-screen. I am looking at those options now.


  1. Preview - included with MacOS X, you can present a pdf document full-screen in slideshow mode. View --> Slideshow. Editing is not available in this mode.
  2. Skim - Presentation and full-screen menu options are available.
  3. PDF Studio
  4. PDFPen
  5. Keynote - You can't present and edit at the same time, However you can place and resize several different pdfs at the same time, adding highlights, building out a page and presenting full screen with different themes available.
  6. iOS iPad GoodReader is an option with a VGA cable.
