Reading PDFs, linking to pages, highlights and comments, and exporting notes to PDF.

Reading PDFs

A PDF open in a Jotzen tab with its pages and a toolbar for zoom and find.
A PDF in its own tab.

PDFs in your folders open in a Jotzen tab: pages draw as you scroll, with zoom, page jump, find, the PDF’s outline and selectable text. PDFs are drawn on your computer and their scripts never run; Open in system viewer is always there.

Highlights and comments

Select text in a PDF to highlight it or add a comment. Highlights are kept in a Markdown note next to the PDF (report.pdf.md), so their tags and todos join the Tags and Todos views like any other note.

Exporting notes

Export to PDF (File menu or command palette) saves the open note as a PDF; Export note to HTML saves it as one standalone web page that opens anywhere.
