    On macOS I use a PDF annotation tool called Highlights that is pretty good for excerpts and annotations. It can export these into a .md file. I export my Highlights notes into a folder inside my Obsidian vault. Source: 9 months ago
  • Is anyone aware of what version of the PDF specification is supported by different macOS PDF apps?
    [Highlights](https://highlightsapp.net). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Readlang alternative
    I'd suggest decoupling the process of highlighting unknown words and phrases from looking up their definition. If you are fine with doing a bulk lookup once you've finished reading a PDF, then the Highlights app is pretty great. You can export everything you highlight to a pdf file. I wrote a script to extract the text from that pdf file and use Google Translate to look everything up. I can share it with you if... Source: over 1 year ago

  • Has anyone used UPDF?
    Since the PDF Expert 3 for Mac also adopted a subscription-based model, I am considering alternatives. UPDF offers almost all of the PDF Expert features for free. They also have a separate PDF converter for the Mac with affordable perpetual licence and OCR capabilities. IOS/IPADOS versions of UPDF are also free with the option of a cheap perpetual licence for the scanning ability. This seems to be the best deal... Source: over 1 year ago
  • PDF editor alternative to Preview?
    There is the Highlights app. It is $24.99 a year and includes Mac and iOS. Some people seem unhappy they haven't updated the Mac app in a year or added many new features, but it does work just fine. Source: about 2 years ago

  • Suggestions for a good PDF reader for Mac for use with Obsidian
    I am a big fan of Highlights. It works great on Mac, but I mostly use it on iPad. The markup tools are extensive and easy to use. You can also copy markdown formatted text straight from the app to paste into Obsidian. Source: over 2 years ago
  • looking for annotation centric pdf reader
    Evince reader ask me "save as" every time I highlight or annotate, I couldn't a shortkey for "save" and it's irritating to click "replace" button every time. Is there any app that let me annotate fast with easy to access select colors and doesnt bother me to "save as" and "replace" existing file, like one from zotero beta. I cant use zotero one because it doesn't work with some extension. I am OK with alpha or... Source: almost 3 years ago
