Taking notes for a class on a tablet

Hey guys, I just got a tablet pc and want to use it to take notes for a specific class. However, the prof gives us his lecture presentation (which was made in powerpoint) in pdf format. Is there any piece of software that will allow me to "draw" on these pdfs? In other words, I don't want to just edit the pdfs and type in notes. I want to write them on top of the pdf, if that's possible.

    What about converting it to an image then using image editing software to draw? Probably not the solution you're looking for but it may work, can't say I have much experience with tablets but I know pdf files are a pain to edit unless you have adobe.

    There's a program, I think called GhostWriter or something similar, that converts between pdf and word documents pretty accurately. It'll keep the same formating and just turn the graphics into embedded images.
