    I would also like the annotation tool to support inking from touch screen devices.

    Yes, please. I find the PDF commenting tool difficult to use. I keep having to toggle back and forth out of comment insertion mode just to see the next lines of text. Also, the size of the text box in which the PDF appears is so small I can only see one paragraph or two at a time, at most. Ideally make it so teachers can see one full page of work at a time.
