How Do You Edit PDFs on a Chromebook? by Gabe Landau

Name: Notable PDF Chrome Extension

Link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/notable-pdf-best-viewer-a/ecnphlgnajanjnkcmbpancdjoidceilk?hl=en

Platforms:  Web (with the Chrome Browser), Chrome OS

Cost: Anyone can connect a Google Account to Notable for free, there are some premium features that cost $1/month or $20 for a lifetime purchase.

Summary: Notable PDF is both a chrome extension and an app. It allows you to either import a PDF from your downloads folder, or from Google Drive. Once the PDF is loaded into the program, it allows you to highlight text, add your own text, draw over the PDF, and format text.

The app works very well with Google Drive. It can be setup to automatically open all your PDF’s so you never have to link it again.

Students can also open PDF files from Google Classroom, creating a new copy for each student (if the option is checked when the assignment is made on classroom). Students can submit PDF files in Notable back into classroom as well for grading.
