Emacs + org-mode is cross-platform. Anyone using it for their PDF workflow? If so, what works or doesn't work well and what is recommended setup? And is there any way to map digital ink annotation into something more emacs friendly (i.e. text-based representation)?
- ashton314 7y agoI have been using this a little bit. I just use preview and macOS to annotate the PDFs that I read, and they are stored inside of a data folder that org mode can use to attach to notes in an .org file. Right now beorg does not support attachments, which would be one feature that I would love to have. I keep everything in a GitHub repository. This set up is far from perfect, but I have liked it more than trying to use Devon think or other tools, because I can still easily access all of the PDFs in the file system. I am really curious to learn about other workflows.
- elviejo 7y agoI'm using it with org-noter. That wsy my annotations are saved in an org file, and they are linked to the PDF. Then, since it's org mode I can organize and edit the notes.
- selfishgene 7y agoOrg-noter looks useful ... only minor issue so far is apparent lack of support for djvu format.
