Onyx PDF Desktop App?

Mano_26 · 09-04-2020, 03:16 PM

Hey guys,

I mainly use the onyx boox for editing my pdf's when I am on the go. I would like to edit the highlights I make on my desktop when I return home. What would be the best way to do that?

As far as I know the onyx pdf reader is not available for desktop. And adobe reader doesn't work that well on the onyx :/

You can export the highlights to a text file, which you can then copy over and edit.

@M4H35H but then I would only see the highlights itself and and not the whole pdf text.

Does no one else have the problem of working on your pdfs on both your onyx and pc / laptop?

Is there a pdf reader that works well both on the onyx and on pc?

My Deep Guide has a review on the new Onyx Max Lumi where he shows that the annotations you make on the device will show up in adobe reader on your computer. But annotations made in the computer don't quite work as well showing up on the device.

See here. Link is to the 27 minute mark where he starts talking about this.
