PDF annotation disaster
Hello
I have purchased last week a Boyue Alita ereader. The device itself is great, applying the screen protector without bubble and dust was a big challenge but I made it.
After reading this forum I came up with a 128 Gb micro sd as an external storage (don't want to be stucked if anything happens to the device).
Now concerning the pdf annotation, this is a disaster : here is my workflow
- I use a nextcloud account with my pdfs on it.
- So when I want to dl a pdf on my Alita Boyue storage (external SD) I simply sync what is needed through the nextcloud app.
The problem is that Inside the nextcloud app when I try to open the pdf, boyue pdf app is not displayed among all apps suggested to open it (what a shame).
To bypass that I have to browse the File Manager app, and browse into multiple folders to find the correct pdf. Sometimes, I did not see the synced pdf from nextcloud in File Manager, so I need to reset the device to make it appeared (no indexation menu is included in the app).
Once the pdf synced from nextcloud appears in File Manager, I can click on it and now boyue app is suggested : So we can begin to work with the pdf (not very productive)
The annotation with the sylus is very good, I cannot complain, but there is a catch with the export of the annotations : Once you are done with the pdf, you can export it through the notes section of the library (to local, mail, drive and so on). I prefer to do it locally on my SD card. Once it is done the pdf generated by the exportation, has annotations but they are all shifted which is very annoying. Headers in the document are also in chinese (english is set as default is my device).
Does someone has a good (working) workflow to save pdf annotation and export it correctly ?
Maybe I should try to contact them and report them all of this.
Cheers
For me this is unacceptable from Boyue
