First, TrialPad has nowhere near the features of dedicated laptop trial presentation software. Responding to these criticisms the developers claim that, rather than iAnnotate, a “fair comparison would be TrialPad against full featured desktop presentation software such as Sanction or TrialDirector.” Not entirely accurate. Not A Replacement for Sanction, Trial Director etc. TrialPad sticks to a red pen and yellow highlighter. iAnnotate includes a large number of built in ‘stamps,’ such as arrows and callouts, and allows you to pick different highlighter and annotation colors. TrialPad eschews tabs limiting the display to a single item. IAnnotate allows a ‘tabbed’ interface wherein you can project an exhibit or impeachment testimony while privately viewing your direct/cross examination outline on the iPad. The developers note that Dropbox support is ‘in the works.’ Trial pad relies on the ‘seven easy steps’ kludge iTunes file transfer feature. IAnnotate will pull in documents from Dropbox. TrialPad only searches the ‘name’ of a document.

iAnnotate will search through an entire PDF file or group of files for any word. IAnnotate, however, has quite a few more tricks than TrialPad.
Both TrialPad and iAnnotate allow the presentation screen to be turned on and off. Both TrialPad and iAnnotate allow the user to pinch-to-zoom the onscreen document. Both TrialPad and iAnnotate allow markups to be displayed on the screen.
Both TrialPad and iAnnotate allow presentation of a PDF through a projector. There are many PDF tools for the iPad, including iAnnotate. The recently released TrialPad for iPad is a good start on what trial presentation for the iPad can be, but doesn’t yet meet expectations associated with its high price.Īt its heart, TrialPad is a PDF viewer and organization tool.
