Open ilovejs opened 1 month ago

ilovejs commented 1 month ago

When I open with another pdf viewer, highlight is not write to pdf file. So, how can this feature be done ? / is this supported ? If not, where is the location u saved highlight marks ? where to have prefs.config file when using Ubuntu appImage release ?

Most of software on linux do not save inside pdf only few do. e.g. Okular but it's not very capable.

We don't modify the PDF files in sioyek. The highlights are saved in a file name shared.db (it is a raw sqlite database). We do have a command to create a new file with annotations embedded called embed_annotations.
