How do you mark up with the stylus. Is this a feature of Adobe
Reader, or do I need professional? Or do I need another viewer
altogether? Can the marked up pdfs be saved as such?

MS-Journal which presumably came with your computer can import PDF files
and you can write on them while presenting. I believe it has a full-screen
display option.

I do not use windows, I have linux based UMPC, on that I use "xournal"
(opensource free etc) or "jarnal" (opensource free etc).

If you do not have MS-Journal, you can use jarnal on windows too (for
free again).

All this software can save the marked up pdfs in their own format or
export to pdf. I use this feature all the time to mark-up papers and send
them to students, postdocs etc.

I bet there is a way to do this in windows too, but I would not, however,
under linux, if you have a device that can run "compiz", you can use its
"annotate" plug-in to mark up anything you want on the screen. That only
can be saved as screen shots. I use this sometimes if I am teaching
someone how to use a piece of software etc.
