Printing PDF into one Note

[someguy7234]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how to print a PDF into One Note 2007 so
that it was not a graphic on a page, but rather a page.

In 2003, I used to be able to print so that the PDF document was the page
that I was writing on which was nice b/c if I was careful around the tops and
bottoms of the page, I could reprint the PDF after taking notes on it.

As it is, I've stopped using OneNote in lieu of Journal for grading
electronically submitted homework, but it would be much easier if I could
keep everything organized in one note instead.

You may want to check out the (free) print manager powertoy at

It will let you resize the printout images and put them one or two or
whatever on a page.

It also lets you set the image as a background image - in this case, that
means you can write/type on top of it.

No, this is not possible. *Printing* to ON *always* produces images.

You could work with Copy+Paste, however.

In 2003, I used to be able to print so that the PDF document was the
page that I was writing on which was nice b/c if I was careful around
the tops and bottoms of the page, I could reprint the PDF after
taking notes on it.

I did not really *work* with ON2003 and can it remember how printing to
ON might have worked there. Nut I seriously doubt that the result if
printing to ON would have been an editable page.

As it is, I've stopped using OneNote in lieu of Journal for grading
electronically submitted homework,

This IMO is not a proper workaround.

For sure!
One can annotate the imported PDFs. Only drawback: The containers with
the comments ca not be tied to the images.
Perhaps using the "PrintOutManager" PowerToy[1] might be of help as oe
can create subpages with it when having printed a multi-page PDF into
ON.

Apart from that: When it comes to annotating PDFs I ca highly recommend
the "PDFAnnotator" [2].
I'm using it very often with importing the result into ON ad adding
links to the original and the annotated documents
