Thanks for the clarification. I asked this question here in this org-pdftools repo, yes I realise I should have asked it on your fork of org-noter. My question was more about how you make org-noter, org-pdftools, pdftools, and org-ref play nicely.
By header I meant the org-mode #+
headers which specify title, author, and export parameters etc. org-ref and helm-bibtex do it a bit differently. Basically I wanted to know your workflow:
1) which function you call to create a note
2) After exporting the skeleton, when you add more annotations in the pdf using other app (like skim or okular) how do you update the corresponding org-note?(do you re-export the skeleton)
3) Your fork of org-noter allows placing annotations in exact location in pdf, but the annotation which is created in the pdf just holds the position, and the note content for that annotation has to be added separately using pdftools. On the org-notes side, the Note:
entry becomes the heading for that annotation in the skeleton and again the content of the note has to be added separately. Am I missing something?
Please do share your configs when you feel they are ready. Thanks!
I am closing this now.

org-noter-insert-note
, read org-noter manual here: https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter
Later, in doom-emacs +ref
flag, I will unify the helm/ivy-bibtex and org-ref edit notes function to make them open the same org files with org-noter.org-store-link
, and then in the org buffer call org-insert-link
. That way the text will be underlined and a org-pdftools link will be insert to the org buffer.+ref
flag. Probably I'll just advice those notes editing functions to the same one.Thanks again for the detailed reply!
Thanks for this very useful package. I have a question. I am also using pdf-tools with org-ref (+ helm-bibtex). There are many ways to create "notes" for a pdf, using helm-bibtex or with org-ref or with org-noter. But the headers are differently created. Can you explain your workflow and what are the required changes in the doom private configs?
For example, in the documentation, the path to pdfs is set like this
(use-package org-pdftools :config (setq org-pdftools-root-dir /path/you/store/pdfs))
. But I have pdfs stored in hierarchical sub-directories (by journal and authors). What would be the way to work around this?
