Hi
i am using opensuse 11.2.
i downloaded couple of books from tldp.org and wanted to highlight some text to make notes.
is there any application for linux available to highlight and bookmark text in pdf?
thanks

the way you ask the question leads me to think you know of such an app
for some other operating system(s)…if so, you can try going to these
sites and search using the name of that known app in the other systems:
http://linuxappfinder.com/

http://www.osalt.com/
http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
http://sourceforge.net/
or, say that app is named “PDF_Highlighter” then try something like
this: http://www.google.com/linux?q=PDF_Highlighter
or, say you don’t know the name of that other system app, then try a
normal search with something like this:
http://www.google.com/linux?q=pdf+highlight+bookmark
but, i’m sure you tried that already, right?

If you use a Wacom or similar then I would recommend you “Jarnal” a Java based program that offers various types of highlighters and also a group work functionality. You can find it in the regular repositories.
Thanks for reply
yes i was using foxit pdf for windows.
i have already tried searching web and came across
some of the other links i visited for my search of pdf highlighter
Comments, annotation, highlight on pdf file - Ubuntu Forums
Linux Notes: PDF Viewer with Text Highlighting
Linux.com :: GNU PDF to fill missing gap in functionality
Linux PDF editor for manipulating PDF documents
Foxit Reader with wine - Ubuntu Forums
Frank’s Corner, Running Windows applications and games on Linux/title>
after going through above info i will try foxit with wine tomorrow.
Okular; the highlighting is saved separately - so you have to save the PDF with a new name to include the highlighting.
Good that you mention it, in Jarnal it is the same. I think it is unavoidable as it is the conversion of a text into a picture.
I use PDF-XChange viewer under WINE. The save a new copy thing in Okular is just too awkward, I really need the annotations to travel with me across viewers and platforms. PDF XChange seems to be crashing more here than it was under Linux Mint Cinnamon (I’m new to OpenSUSE). But even with frequent crashes, at least it does what I need.
Too bad there isn’t a native Linux app of the same caliber.
