Help PDF Annotator win the 2007 Epsilon Award
Just got a note in Outlook from the folks over at GRAHL Software. Their awesome application, PDF Annotator, is up for the 2007 Epsilon Award and they’re looking for support in the voting. I personally have no issue casting my vote for PDF Annotator as I consider it a "must-have" for any Tablet PC or UMPC owner. The Epsilon Award is provided by the European Software Conference and the winners are announced in November. If you’ve gained value from PDF Annotator are so inclined, consider supporting GRAHL with a vote.
For folks not familiar with PDF Annotator: it allows you to ink or mouse annotations within Adobe PDF docs. I’ve found it valuable for marking up documentation as well as providing my personal signature to contracts and other artifacts. You can grab a free, 30-day fully functional trial direct from GRAHL right here.

I voted based on your recommendation. (And I downloaded the free trial!)
Thanx Kevin!
I did not vote for it. Seems rather useless
As well as getting a vote, I wish I could submit a NEGATIVE vote, for software that should NOT receive the award. PDF Annotator should DEFINITELY NOT RECEIVE ANY KIND OF PRIZE because it lacks an essential, basic, and easy-to-implement feature.
PDF Annotator does NOT have an autosave feature, which is a DISGRACE is a supposedly professional editing program. I learned this the hard way, after losing about 5 hours of work, with no possibility of recovery. I had just assumed that a ‘professional’ program I just paid $50 for would automatically autosave to a backup file, and that the most work I would lose after my computer froze (ironically while trying to save my editing changes in Pdf Annotator) would be 10 minutes or whatever the default autosave period is. HOW WRONG I WAS. No autosave file at all. FIVE HOURS OF WORK ON “PROFESSIONAL” EDITING SOFTWARE DOWN THE TOILET. I am extremely angry and perplexed – how could they have omitted such a BASIC (and easy to implement) feature???
