Quick update:
We will finish the massive task of the sidebar refactor which has taken way longer than we expected.
The PDF annotations are already 80-90% done so hopefully it will not take as much time anymore now.
Very excited!

Hi,
Any news about that ?
Regards
We got a big step further by prototyping the pdf implementation and it seems to work well. Annotations anchor and can be made with a full-featured PDF viewer.
Now the next blocker is that we need to figure out how to adapt the data model and sync properly.
We have parked the full implementation a bit though to not distract the work on the sharing/following features we got the main funding for and some other work that needs to happen before we can tackle the final implementation of the PDF annotations.
We’re on it.
Awesome! Can’t wait!
Hi! Are there any updates re: PDF annotations?
Hmmm, they must have met a bigger-than-expected bump in the road. I’m also eagerly looking forward to PDF annotations
Same here! Eagerly waiting for PDF annotations!
Yeah some other priorities…buuuut!

How can i use this function ?
NOW you can
Update to 2.14.0 and you’ll be able to use PDF annotations.
It’s a first version that we felt comfortable enough sharing even though there are still some bugs and a lot to improve.
Consider checking the section "known issues"
We’re happy about any feedback you want to leave here.
Here are some instructions on how to start using it: https://worldbrain.io/tutorial/pdf-annotations
Great news ! This is an important first step to really be able to use Memex Worldbrain for work… at least when we will be able to work on PDFs locally, which I think is the most frequent use for students, researchers, journalists, etc…
We’re looking forward to the stabilization of the tool! Good luck and long life!
I was wondering if there is any update about the PDF annotations on local files.
We have it planned out and is ready to be implemented. Currently finishing the multi-device sync, then the notifications for shared annotations, and right after the local PDF support!
Thanks. Do you have any idea about the timeline to get at least an early version?
We are almost there!
Already on the finish line for the local PDF support.
How do I stop memex opening my pdfs? Should I turn off Allow access to file URLs
Looking forward to annotations for local pdfs, and also an option for multiple highlight colors (helps organize my thoughts). Loving Memex!
Local PDF support already works in our proof-of-concept.
Finishing this is up next!
