General notes

  • requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run
  • cross-platform
  • not very fast, but useable
  • main concept: the tool loads a pdf file as an background image, then allows simple drawing on another layer on top of the background
  • allows exporting the result as another pdf, combining the original pdf and the new layer
  • further info can be found at Jarnal home page: http://www.dklevine.com/general/software/tc1000/jarnal.htm
