I am experimenting with a new workflow. I am using WebDAV method to serve the wiki. Using file upload plug in, I added few pdfs into this wiki. Is it possible to annotate those pdfs using the dynannotate plug in ? I saw an old discussion in the google groups regarding a similar approach to annotate…

I can’t answer this question about dynanotate but I can say I get value annotating PDF files on disk with the Free Foxit reader, the annotations are written to the actual PDF. This is feature rich and they maintain it.

Any possibility of pdf annotation in tiddlywiki as a plug in in the future?

[image] arunnbabu81: Any possibility of pdf annotation in tiddlywiki as a plug in in the future My guess is no. As i understand it pdfs inside tiddlywiki are like a binary file and the browser uses its pdf viewer to display the pdf not tiddlywiki. Keep in mind tiddlywiki makes full use of th…

The current version of Dynannotate cannot annotate PDFs, but potentially there is a route to getting it working with the same pdf.js library that Zotero and LogSeq use. PDF.js from Mozilla is the library that Firefox uses to display PDFs. It works by rendering the PDF to an HTML canvas, which is not…

As I said I suspect the answer it no, but I expect its not a structural limitation, it is just with multiple layers of software things get less flexible. However Earlier I pointed out Foxit Reader is VERY good at PDF annotation. And PDF’s treated as external files will display any annotations you a…

That is encouraging, even if integrating pdf.js with Tiddlywiki looks like a sizeable project! Thanks @TW_Tones for your answer, but in this case I really need annotations in TiddlyWiki. Having them as tiddlers that one can remix, endow with metadata and display flexibly is part of a very effective…
