Use-case I had never thought about: filling out PDFs
Got a PDF that I had to fill out for work. Everything is supposed to be super clear, and (you know how they get sometimes) they're being very anal about using specifically Adobe's "sign and fill" tools. Cringe. I hate Adobe with a burning passion.
About 35 minutes into trying to figure out why I can click into a date field but not enter text, it dawns on me: "wtf am I doing?"
If you've ever tried then you also know that filling out a form by hand and then trying to "scan" it using a phone can be frustrating and after like 7 tries you often still wind up with something that looks really jank and unclear.
So I just uploaded the PDF to Supernote partner app, opened it on my A6X, filled it out (this was super easy thanks to being able to adjust my pen thickness to something sensible), and then just exported the filled form.
It looked great, was easily accepted, and most importantly I didn't need to install Adobe or any of their bloatware (if you're reading this Adobe actually fuck you for trying to bundle McAfee with Acrobat WITHOUT EVEN A WARNING.)
