Item Description
Jotsy Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Jotsy 1.0, our powerful app that provides a convenient means to annotate PDF documents on the BlackBerry® PlayBook™. Jotsy is a full-featured app and is available for free download for a limited period of time. A separate PC component is required to enable synchronization of documents and annotations with your MAC or Windows PC. This component is available on jotsy.com, and is also free for a limited time.

Several of our users have requested MAC support for file synchronization. We are pleased to announce that both MAC and Windows sync components are available on jotsy.com

As an important step towards true mobility and collaboration, Jotsy 1.0 brings PC synchronization to your Box (box.com) accounts. This feature allows Jotsy users to annotate PDF documents that have been uploaded any of their existing Box accounts. These files can come from various email environments, other PCs or Macs, or any device with box.com access.

Jotsy 1.0 has been optimized for Play Book OS 2.0, which we expect to be available at the end of February. When you upgrade your OS, Jotsy 1.0 usability, especially browser scrolling,  will further improve.

Features contained in Jotsy 1.0 include:
-	Several bug fixes related to document scrolling, loading, and WiFi connectivity
-	Ability to sync and access documents stored locally on your MAC or Windows PC
-	PC – based access to documents stored on any of your Box accounts
-	Upload annotated PDFs to your PC or Box account for further distribution
-	“Bear Paw” navigation for easy access to text boxes, highlight styles, and pen colours
-	Individual or global removal of annotations
-	User selection of Bear Paw menu position
-	Pagination, jump-to page number, and “dogear” current page for future reference

In addition, Jotsy has been designed to manage annotations and enable collaboration amongst work groups. Look for the following in future versions;
-	Management of annotation layers generated from several sources on a single document
-	Managed distribution and access of documents and document sets 
-	Jotsy on other OEM tablets and native file access

Enjoy this free trial version. Thanks for your support!

I finally got this to work!!
May 20, 2012
After getting frustrated and leaving it for about a month, I finally gave it another shot and it worked.  Here is what I did.
1. Verified the version numbers on the pc client and pb client matched (had to look at the version doc on the pc)
2. Turned off my McAfee firewall (now I'll suppose I will just allow it through)
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled my Playbook Jotsy App.
4. Copied PDF files to the \jotsy directory
5. Waited a few min and launch the Playbook app
6. Hit the sync button and type in the IP address of Jotsy (found by mousing over your  Jotsy icon in the notification area).
7. The PDF's should shownup on your Playbook.

This is cool!
Works, but...

Well, unlike many others, I made it work on my PB incl. sync to Box and my PC.
But it is awfully slow! A 470 pages PDF took one second per page(!) to open...
Three stars because I like the idea.

Synchronisieren funktioniert nicht
May 01, 2012
wie auch schon viele andere geschrieben haben ist es mir nicht möglich die app gescheit zum laufen zu bringen. ich benutze einen mac, habe mir auch extra einen box account gemacht aber nichts funktioniert.

alternative ist qpdf kostet in der vollversion aber auch knapp 10€. 
eigentlich bin ich beim kauf vom playbook davon ausgegangen, dass es mit sicherheit eine app gibt in der man gescheit pdfs bearbeiten oder wenigstens markieren kann, aber das scheint ja eine riesen aufgabe zu sein. 

vielleicht kommt ja irgendwann eine funktionierende version von jotsy raus, bisher ist es jedoch zeitverschwendung.
Unfortunately useless

I'd love this one to work, but like many (many) other people I can't get it to sync. Jotsy support is no help and the 'manual' is as useless as the app. Without the ability to sync, there's no way to use the app.
