This looks great! I've been bouncing between PDF readers that supposedly deal with highlighting well, and most of them are terrible. Is it possible to export highlights and notes as Markdown? That would let me dump my notes into Obsidian.
- pj747 4y agoThat's a very neat idea! Will look at a few more standards for exporting notes.
- dotancohen 4y agoOkular used to store annotations in an XML "sidecar" file, though it now stores the annotations in the PDF itself. However there may still be a sidecar file option, or perhaps the annotations are still in XML in the PDF itself. You might want to take a look at that.
- lf-non 4y agoYou should look at logseq [1]. It is primarily an outliner but has a good integrated PDF reader with highlighting & annotation support. Content is saved as markdown. It has pretty much replaced other note taking tools for me, but I know of people who use it in conjunction with Obsidian/Zettlr/Zotero. [1] https://logseq.com/ https://logseq.com/
