Not seeing annotations made on Onyx Note 2 on several Linux pdf viewers
Hi everyone,
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? |

You could try to run adobe reader or something with Wine. Idk if that can be done.

Hello julian, quite the experience I got with the Boox Note Pro (1):
I solved it for myself with the Xodo Reader for android / but be aware that not every version may work! (also I work now with a cover for my wrist rest ...multitouch not that great while writting with the pen in that app) see: Quote:

Try using the pencil to make annotations, rather than the brush. That worked for me.
