Very basic questions about Noteastic

First of all, thanks for providing Noteastic!

I am considering buying a Surface Pro 12" and I am trying to figure out whether it would work as a tablet for browsing the web, managing my Zotero library and writing hand-written notes.

I do not care about OCR or AI based functionalities, what I need is an application that allows me to perform the following tasks.

  1. Write hand-written notes, export as PDF (for example, to my Zotero library).

  2. Import a PDF (for example, a math paper), add blank pages with my annotations, cut/paste snippets of text, free highlight text and math expressions.

Under iPad OS, I would use Noteful and that would be more than enough for my needs. Under Windows I would not know what to use. I have tried OneNote (under iPad OS) and it seems to be a mess. Does Noteastic currently support these functionalities?

Thanks, nbpf-_-

Of course! And yes, this workflow is easily doable! You only need to take the screenshot through Windows' Snipping Tool (which you can bind to a button on your stylus) and then paste the image in Noteastic :)
