How to take notes in PDFs in Linux

Adobe's official reader don't support do-annotation under Linux. Evince can't do.

Reading PDF is the last thing on which I can not totally move to a pure Linux environment.

Need tools, thanks!

  • What kind of annotation editing are you trying to do? Create form fields, move or reassign links... ? Jun 6, 2011 at 17:26

I'm using Evince-2.32.0 gentoo amd64.

Open a pdf -> Menu -> Side Panel (check). Probably you're viewing Thumbnails change to Annotations.

Never used that you should do some tests.

Okular allows annotations, but they aren't stored in the PDF, so they aren't particularly portable. which can be stored within the file if you compile new versions of Okular with Poppler>0.20.

Mendeley has a linux version that allows pdf annotation. I don't know where annotations are stored.

PDFXchange and Adobe reader (windows version) will both run under Wine, and can be used to annotate.

  • "add" and "edit" are not the same thing. Please be more specific. What EXACTLY do you want to do? Jun 6, 2011 at 18:02

Xournal is one alternative - Have to add some characters to keep the "trivial answer" filter happy.
