Summary
Training guide on how to installing and use OrbitNote.
Body
The OrbitNote Extension allows you to read PDFs and take notes on them.
You can either upload PDFs from your device’s files or though files in your Google Drive.
You can even convert images into PDFs and then read them using the “
Image to PDF
” function found on the far left of the screen (above the settings).
Most of the tools in OrbitNote are the same as in Read and Write, but there are a few unique ones.
Many of these functions are useful for taking notes on the PDF itself or for filling the PDF out like a worksheet.
After you are done with your PDF you will hit the
Upload
button near the top right of the screen to save your work. You can also hit the three dots next to the upload button and then hit the
Dashboard
button to leave without saving.
