A seamless integration with Xournal++. Xournal++ is an open-source and cross-platform note taking application for digital, handwritten notes and PDF annotations.
- Automatically export Xournal++ notes to PDF whenever they are modified, so that they can be linked, embedded, and viewed in Obsidian
- Easily create new Xournal++ files (.xopp) directly from within Obsidian, accessible from the ribbon icon, file explorer, and command palette
- Access the "Edit in Xournal++" option via an icon in the PDF preview as well as in file explorer (by clicking on
X++), enabling quick navigation to the corresponding Xournal++ file.
Ensure you have Xournal++ installed on your device.
If you run into any issues, you might have to manually add the Xournal++ installation path, refer to Setting the Xournal++ Installation Path for more information.
Be mindful that any PDF files sharing the same name and location as Xournal++ (.xopp) files will be overwritten with the exported version. This ensures seamless integration and consistent file management within Obsidian (regular vault backups are therefore recommended).
