Using Textbook PDFs Instead of Printing!

Hi guys! 

I used to download a lot of PDFs of textbooks for languages I wanted to learn, but it was really frustrating and expensive to keep printing out the pages I wanted to use every day. 

So I'd been looking for a solution for a long time, and I finally found something that works. I downloaded a PDF reader called Foxit, it has the ability to let you draw on the pages,  insert notes, and type in your own stuff where you would normally write on it.

I thought it might be useful for you guys! I'm now using this for my Japanese and German textbooks. I hope you find this tip useful! :)

I work on a tablet, IPad, I adooore Acrobat Reader, I can draw on it, make notes, write comments on my PDF files. It happens to me to scan books and to read them only on the tablet. I am learning Arabic and often the script is too small on print and great on my tablet.

Foxit is absolutely recommended when your PC is slow and it takes ages for Acrobat to open a large pfd (say 100mb pdf with scans).

May be newer Acrobats are better..or not. I was so much frustrated with it a few years ago, when I was reading some old books in such format, that I avoid it since then:) Foxit is fast. There is also Foxit portable, which is small:)))))
PS, I dont' mean i'm using it. I just use anything except acrobat now:)

It's relevant for me too

Then I want to have a mouse to scan all my books in nights
and a little (actually small one) elephant to print all my files during the daytime
and a pretty girl to read this all aloud.
