Thanks for opening an issue. I'm guessing that's possible (because it might need to be explicitly supported, which I didn't do), but I don't have a PDF with notes to check. Can you please provide a sample PDF file with notes (you can attach it with your comment here), a screenshot which shows what you expected to see and a screenshot of what you see instead? I'm guessing that will be helpful to whoever decides to work on this so that they have an easy way to reproduce the problem and verify a solution (I probably won't have time to do it in the near future). Thanks again!

Use this pdf for test.

Overview of NetworkX — NetworkX 2.pdf

This pdf contains one note in the highlight area. If you use atom-pdf-view, only the hightlight area will show, but the note is invisible. If you use other pdf tools, you could see the highlight & notes both.

Thanks.

Thanks, @Marcnuth -- that's helpful! I just tried viewing that PDF in Chrome and it showed the note:

However, the MacOS PDF viewer didn't show them:

In any case -- I'm guessing something needs to be added to this package so that notes are supported, so I'm labeling this as an enhancement request. Perhaps someone from the community would like to work on that (maybe even you? 😄).

Thanks again! :bow:
