How to setup pdf annotation on MAC?

[MaikoID]

Hello!

Its my first time using obsidian so I am not sure if I am fully understanding the installation process.

I followed this doc: https://markmindckm.github.io/markmind-docs/index.html#/pdfAnnotator

I am using a MAC Verona

1. I download the PC version of pdfjs
2. I put it on "PDF reader path" in the plugin's settings: /Users/xxx/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal/obVault/Studies/.obsidian/pc.pdfjs
3. I run "set up pdfjs plugin path"
4. Restarted Obsidian

5. Created a markdown file called Mozilla (I can open the pdf URL using Firefox)

annotate-target: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/legacy/web/compressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf annotate-type: pdf

---

6. There is an option to "Annotate pdf" on the ... for the file. I click it
7. It just shows an empty file.

What am I missing here?

The step is right ,and you can try this

• open setting tab
• check the mac pdfjs plugin path
• rename pc.pdfjs to pdfjs
• copy the mac pdfjs plugin path and paste it to pdfjs plugin path
• restart obsidian

then try again

Thanks! it is working now.

I think I discovered a bug, when you write the path at the "Mac pdfjs plugin path" it removes the first / when Obsidian restarts. Filling out both fields "Mac pdfjs plugin path" and "PDF reader path" works!
