Obsidian PDF++ plugin demo｜完勝PDF Annotator插件，簡直開外掛
Oh, I love this! 一見鍾情
- Select some text in the PDF.
- Click on a color on the toolbar. This creates a link.
- Paste into any note. Remember to press RETURN. Voila! See the pasted result become a nice color box.
- Hover over a link to get a popup preview of the context.
Quick verdict: 4/5
Cons
Does not work with:
OCRed PDF book with vertical text e.g. Chinese: a huge disappointment
The performance there is much worse than Obsidian plugin - Annotator｜PDF註記插件. It's practically unusable.
Issues
Mouse selection sticky
On one occasion, my mouse selection goes berserk: it slips and ends up selecting more text than intended as I navigate the context menu.
Solution
Restarting the computer worked. Glad it's only a one-off anomaly.
Auto-paste needs extra new line at the end to avoid gluing together successive quotes
Solution
Guided by forum, made my YT self-guide
