Org-noter odfpdf-tools, and highlighting

Open AtomicNess123 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I was wondering how these two interact. What is the difference between making notes using one and the other. Also, is it possible with org-notes to highlight exactly a sentence in the PDF where to point, or is it only page-based? Thanks.

From my understanding, Org-noter takes care of setting up the window layout and storing current location in a heading. Org-pdftools makes the location that Org-noter stores clickable as a link so it's more "precise".

Highlighting is done by another package called pdf-tools so you should see its source code.

OK, so these three packages are needed: pdf-tools which is different from org-pdftools, and org-noter.
