So I just got my Note 2 and I'm very excited about it! I want to use it mainly for reading academic papers, and managed to set up syncing between the Note 2 and my computer using Dropsync. I tried adding annotations to a pdf using the pen, and it does sync back to my computer. However it seems that while the annotations are there, I cannot see them with any of the pdf viewers that I tried (okular, evince, ubuntu reader, qpdfview). I can only see the annotations if I send the file to a Windows PC or in gmail.

Does anyone has a solution for me?
It sounds like the same issue we discussed in this thread:

As suggested there, the solution is either use MuPDF as your viewer, or manually update poppler to the latest version which has better support for the quirks of Onyx devices.
