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... ?

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.

...which does indeed have a Linux port. Color me pleasantly surprised. – Mark Storer Jun 6 '11 at 17:26

@Mark Storer: 1st beta version of that was released in January 2009. Latest is v1.1 from August 2009.... – pipitas Jun 6 '11 at 17:57

...but the Linux version does not allow to add annotations. – pipitas Jun 6 '11 at 17:58

"add" and "edit" are not the same thing. Please be more specific. What EXACTLY do you want to do? – Mark Storer Jun 6 '11 at 18:02

Okular allows annotations, but they aren't stored in the PDF, so they aren't particularly portable.

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.

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