| Jun 30, 2015 at 4:58 | comment | added | Sam Lewallen | This question is fairly old, but personally, I'm still struggling with exactly the same thing, and have had difficulty finding any good solution on a Mac. Anyway, I just tried Clearview, and it seems that actually, one can activate an option in preferences so that annotations are saved directly in the pdf files (and therefore viewable in other applications). Possibly this feature was added since the abovecomments by fnurl. Anyway I would love to have other opinions, but as far as I can tell, this in fact does make Clearview reader the (unique?) app satisfying the OP's criteria. | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 21:53 | comment | added | fnurl | I just downloaded the trial and tested, and unfortunately (for me at least), annotations are not saved to the PDF and are are not viewable in other PDF readers. This is too bad since I liked the tabs and library. By not saving annotations to the original, things like viewing annotations made on an iPad on the Mac and vice versa is not possible. | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 21:44 | comment | added | fnurl | Do you know if Clearview Reader saves annotations inside the PDF or in their own database? I read this on their home page: "Revisions will be saved in library database automatically, not on the original book files, so "save changes" prompt dialog won't appear in your smooth reading. Line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, highlight, strike, underline, free text, comments - for PDF annotations;" | |
