a program to open and manipulate PDF

Hi ..

I was wondering if anybody knows a program that makes me able to do things we all normally do with real books like Highlighting by yellow a specific part of the text , and stick a yellow paper with some note written on it .. such things is almost impossible to do with PDF reader , the majority of my books is PDF and I hate carrying books .. so they all stored on my laptop and Im off to my university !

it would be really appreciated if someone can tell me if there is a program that capable to open PDF , Highlight text and save notes ..

Might want to consider getting the "full" version of Adobe Acrobat.

OK, here's a listing, and explanation, PDF tools : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software

iText or PDF Toolkit can do what you want, and they're free, but read up on what's out there before you make your final choice.


edit : Oooppss my bad, iText is now $32.
