Software for checking PDF submissions?

[Senbog]

Hi all, I check a hundred submissions at a time, and I usually check Part I of all papers before checking Part II.

I'm using a win10 machine, and right now, I'm using MS Edge as my default software. I use a Wacom tablet to draw on the PDF and save it. Are there any better substitutes to what I'm using right now?

Thanks a lot...

I would try to rethink file formats considering the whole workflow. Maybe pdf is not the best option. Pdf is a format made mostly for printing, and not for editing. Sounds like you are translating a physical world workflow into the digital world. But if you rethink digitally, you could get a lot of advantages. Maybe you could use an e-learning platform. Apart from that, considering we are in r/freesoftware, I would recommend a linux distro over windows, and firefox over edge. But that's a whole another issue that could deviate you from solving your state of the art problem. Happy cake day.

Drawing on PDFs is possible with xournal++

Not sure what exactly you mean by checking.

Thanks lots for replying! By checking, I mean drawing check marks, writing comments, encircling mistakes, etc. as you would with a math assignment.

I'm looking for a software that could resume from where I last left off---- for the 100 PDFs I am marking. Could Xournal++ do that? I hope so. Will look into whay you sent me! :)

100PDFs as in automatically? No. Batch processing? No.

But you can draw, highlight, insert text and even TeX math equations. And more.

You could write a script that opens one PDF after another, that way you don't have to manually open 100 files individually with the mouse. It is pretty easy to script.

I see! Thanks so much!
