8g ram for mac book pro 2012. Hello, Just a quick question. Considering picking up a used iPP 10.5 mostly for PDF reading. I deal with a lot of scanned documents with handwritten texts and printed text, unfortunately not scannable so it can't be copied as text. Is there an iPad app that allows me to encircle or highlight an area in a pdf and copy the encircled part from the pdf into e.g notes or page (with apple pencil support)?
Like cmd shift 4 in macOS or the snipping tool in windows where I select a specific area and get a small image that I can copy into a document. Of the PDF/notes apps I've tried, LiquidText has by far the easiest workflow for what you want to do. Import a pdf, drag your finger/ApplePencil across a sentence/figure/image/section that you want to highlight and then (optionally) you can 'pull' that highlighted section off to the side of the workspace. There's an option to save and export the pdf + your highlights, or to create a word doc/pdf of just the excerpts you dragged off to the side of the workspace.
The CloudApp Snipping Tool is available for Mac, iOS and Chrome. Downloading is quick and easy. Access the app from GetCloudApp above, from the Apple Store for Mac and iOS, or from the Chrome Webstore to add the extension to Chrome.
I think LiquidText has a free trial that lets you try it out. The Pro version is £4.99 if you have a.ac.uk or.edu (or similar) email address, but it's reasonably expensive if you're not in education and want to unlock the full version. You could also do excerpts with GoodNotes, but it works a bit differently. Import a pdf, use the lasso tool to essentially make a cmd+shift+4 screenshot box, and then you can copy those custom crops to other pages in GoodNotes or paste them into another app. GoodNotes also has searchable handwritten notes (and handwriting-to-type conversion) and it's reasonably tolerant of bad handwriting. A lot of people prefer Notability, which is the other big 'smart notebook' app alongside GoodNotes (LiquidText is its own weird thing).
I'm sure Notability can do the smart-crop thing as well. Noteability has a slightly nicer UI than GoodNotes, slightly more drawing tools if you draw a lot of detailed diagrams, and it can also record audio and play it back so you can refresh your memory of a lecture or meeting as you review the notes, but Notability doesn't have the searchable handwritten text or handwriting-to-type conversion. Anyway, I'll stop now, apparently I have a lot of feelings about notetaking apps. Goodnotes has a snipping tool, I wish one of the apps worked like Adobe Acrobat where you can select why you want, then hit print and print your selection.
I use this feature to blow up blueprints and hand them out to the crews for their days work. Notability doesn’t have a print feature.
PDF expert surprisingly doesn’t have any snip tool. Bluebeam Revu has a snapshot tool also and various tools for marking up blueprints. It used to bog down with large PDF’s but has been reciently updated to fix it, I haven’t had a chance to test it out. For my use case, I’d like to find one app that can sync with Dropbox, easily take a snapshot, fit to page and print, handle large pdf’s without stuttering.

When it comes to cutting-and-pasting something on your Mac, you may wonder if some snipping tools exist like in Windows. A print screen option is a comfortable way to store valuable information or providing a photo proof of, for instance, payment. It prevents the need to type everything manually.
So, is any snipping instrument available on Mac? What about the app that can match MS Paint? Quick Ways to Snip Anything on Mac Let’s say, you wish to save a picture of the full screen to the Desktop. Press Command and Shift and 3 to save an image of your Mac’s screen. Mind that this way you will get a shot saved as a PNG file. Convert it to other formats with the help of free online tools or third-party software. As for the opportunity to store a selection of any screen’s section to the Desktop, another command is available.
