Can You Write on a PDF or Powerpoint and Import Into OneNote?

[mozman68]

I've used the pen to add notes to a PowerPoint that was sent to me, but it seemed kind of clunky as I had to activate the pen feature on each slide... otherwise, it assumes the en is a pointer as the default. I guess that makes sense.

So, do I use OneNote to pull the PowerPoint in to OneNote so I can just "write" on the slides and send out as a OneNote document or is there something I do while in PPT to export into OneNote?

I'll admit, I haven't tried very hard to figure this out, but I now see I have 3 PowerPoint files to comment on for folks that work for me and I would rather just write my notes on the slides in OneNote and have them make the corrections in their original PPT file.

Hi, can you tell me which Pen you use to annotate on PowerPoint, as I have seen this done, but cannot find anything on the Internet about Pens such as these

Thanks

It's a Surface Pro thread, so we are using a Surface Pen.

Drawboard app is simply great to annotate PDFs.

I use the Modern UI version on my SP3, since the form factor is better. I use OneNote 2013 on my desktop to do the more powerful stuff. And since I have Office 2013 on both my SP3 as well, I have that capability too. Best of both worlds IMO.

Completely agree. I feel the Modern version of OneNote is more usable for a pen/touch environment. However, it's missing so many features of the desktop version. I wish they would just add more features to the Modern version. The desktop version is full featured but it's borderline terrible for touch. I use the Modern version most of the time and when I need to do something special to the OneNote page, I then load up the desktop version.

You can't even change the color of the scribble once it's done with the Modern version (like changing a blue note to a red note)! I can't believe even some basic features are missing from the Modern app.
