1) Is it also copying the annotations, I do not think that is supposed to happen. I will look into the code. 2) I am working on a way to merge the annotations of the native pdf viewer with xournal (i.e. loading a pdf and importing the scribbles form the metadata.db into xournal), but progress is slow due to limited time. 3) This is also on my wish list (being able to edit multiple documents with one instance of xournal) I did not have time yet to look at it. I can ask the original author of xournal, to see if he has any plans. |

Xournal Patch V7
I added some extra (experimental) functionality to Xournal and updated the zip-files in the first message of this message thread.
The new version adds the import of annotations that are made by the iRex application. I added this because several people have reported that they have problems merging annotations with the original pdf (due to several reasons: No windows PC available, too many annotations, ...); the merged annotations do look ugly; and because I just was curious on how annotations work. I added two menus in the File-menu: - Import Annotations: you need to select a pdf-file that you have annotated with the native iRex application. The annotations will be imported and translated to xournal scribbles. These can then be 'merged' by chosing 'Export to PDF'. - Merge Annotations: I noticed that the file of cmhsieh54 caused some problems with displaying the ~12000 strokes of this file. So I created a menu item that imports the annotations and exports them immediately, avoiding the display problems. You first need to select the file with the annotations you want to import. After the import you need to select the name of the pdf-file to which the original pdf with the annotations will be saved. Normally you should not need this menu item. Both functions are experimental, so please give me your feedback. Marcel. |

V7
After upgrading to V7, from version 6a, to my surprise I found that there was a writing delay in both experimental and normal mode. I downgraded to version 6a and everything was normal again. Please check.

Thanks for all these improvements you are providing us.

It seems to me that you have already written all the necessary code to provide such a command line tool, and this command line tool would be really useful. |

BUGFIX for V7
I just updated the first mail with version V7b, that patches the problem in the V7 version.
For V7 I merged in some updates from the original xournal version, but these interferred with the code that tries to prevent scribbles and full-screen updates at the same time (which should limit hang-ups), resulting in 'fast-scribbles' being disabled always. This is now patched in the V7b version. I was a little too fast in sending an update to the forum. |

I tried the merge function with a 4-page file and it worked fine. The scribbles look much better than the merge produced with the companion software (I had have to merge with different computer than my desktop).
Nice work. td |

V7b, great!
Dear Mackx, dear all,
Thank you for such significant participation to XOURNAL. Import Annotations translate the iRex annotations to xournal scribbles, that is great. The annotations can be review, edited in xournal, but as I noticed (sorry if I am wrong) this feature is available only after saving the file to xoj format and reopen it. At the first conversion procedure editing translated scribbles is not able, but it works fine at reopening the file. Anyhow even using this procedure this feature is very useful. Thanks, |

Thanks for this update, once again this is getting more and more useful.
Could the import of scribbles be reversed easily i.e. xournal scribbles to irex? This would allow conversion to text via MyScript and replace the standard writepads which are pretty inadequate at the moment. |

Hi td,

Adding this does not seem to be that difficult, let me see if I can get it into a next version. I can add an 'Insert Blank' check box menu item in the Journal menu. So you have a choice. |

If I understand correctly, you want to export the annotations/scribbles that are made with xournal to a metadata.db file and the rest/background to a pdf. So it can be further processed with the companion software and the MyScript-addon on your PC? |

Hi Mackx,
Basically, yes. Not really bothered about the companion software, the only real benefit to me is to be able to use MyScript Notes. I guess it does not even have to be in an irex format, just one that works with MyScript. With this as an addition to Xournal, the companion software effectively becomes redundant. Possible? |

Hi curbarthedog,
Can you enable your option to send private messages, so we can discuss details? Or send an email address as a private message to me? |
