Request: Page Notes can be associated with the specified page #163

I hope that the Page Notes can be associated with the page, so you can create notes in the scan document for each page.

Frankly, the current Page Notes function logic is not too understanding, it seems that the page is completely free of association

Would this be the same as allowing the "annotation-target" value to include ".md" or "text" within a page/note?

allblue commented 2 years ago

no。For scanning version PDF (each page is an image), the text of each page cannot be selected, so the current annotation cannot work. If Page Note can be associated with page, for the page of interest, you can do page notes in a single unit.

I also hope to achieve this effect.

I believe the reason is that hypothes.is was designed for web pages, which don't have the concept of paper pages until you print them out or convert to PDF. So in the context of Annotator and PDF files, the "Page Notes" feature is a misnomer. It should be called "Document Notes".

Thanks to the explanation, it may be true that this page refers to webpage, so the logic makes sense
