I'm researcher and I usually read/annotate PDF files. I love to manage them with Calibre for several reasons and I use calibre companion to sync my library with one android device. I also use this android device to perform annotations. In PDF files annotations are included in the PDF itself. However, Calibre Companion cannot push back the updated PDF file with the annotations (or I have not found the way to do it).

I would to know if this is posible and if it is not possible to make a request for its implementation. For me it would be the killer feature although I understand that each person has their concerns. Thank you.
Syncing books back to calibre inside a device driver such as the Wireless Device isn't possible without significant calibre changes. However, you can accomplish what you want using the following process:
  1. In CC, connect as a wireless device.
  2. Switch to calibre's device view
  3. Right-click on the PDF you want to update then select "Save to disk". Put the book where you can find it.
  4. Switch to calibre's library view.
  5. Select the book you want to update. The book details pane will show information for the book.
  6. Drag the book onto the book details pane. This will replace the format (the PDF) in calibre's library.
