Why is there not a single PDF editor/annotater better than Microsoft Edge? I'm sick of needing to use this shit.

How gay do you have to be to actually care about this
Idk what the proper term is I just mean annotater, I guess. I've tried Okular and Summatra and neither of them has as good of a highlighter.
GIMP? As in the image editing software?

Yup, you can even automate it if you handle large numbers using python.
Cannot seem to get this to work for some reason. But evidently "editor" was the wrong word editor, what I really meant is the highlighter tool. I can't find any program for Windows that has as good as a highlighter function. I've tried all these other programs but they're no good when it comes to highlighting single words and double highlighting to make a highlight deeper.
Just convert it to markdown, then bold the desired sentence, and view it in a .md viewer
Why would I do all of that to read and highlight a book
>that was a professional Adobe Acrobat installer, so maybe he is still around and will chime in.
I pirated Acrobat after being dissatisfied with everything else, and I couldn't believe even their highlighter was ass compared to Edge.
Okular is probably the best I've found after Edge but it still can't do what Edge does. I realized it makes the most sense to just provide an example. Left is Okular, right is Edge. The zoom is different but they're highlighted the exact same way.
In Okular when you highlight two words close together it just blends into one highlight, which sucks if you want to emphasize both words, or both in different ways. And when I go over "live-action" with the highlighter in Okular again nothing happens, when I go over it in Edge the highlight deeps. Not to mention how tight the highlighting in Edge is, it snaps to the words and sentences.
>when you highlight two words close together it just blends into one highlight
That's what I would expect to happen.
>which sucks if you want to emphasize both words, or both in different ways.
I would say that Okular's behaviour is more natural, but it would be great if it made it easy to juggle between two colours like in Krita for those of you who want to paint rainbows in their PDFs.
>I would say that Okular's behaviour is more natural,
More natural or not, it sucks. And Edge lets you use multiple colors.
Well, you would need an OCR plugin, which there are, but I don't see why you couldn't do what you want using GIMP. I am sure there are more convenient programs to do this.
I know there used to be a guy on IQfy that was a professional Adobe Acrobat installer, so maybe he is still around and will chime in.
Okular or Evince should work for your use case.
Xournalpp pretty good
Works on windows and linux as well

Only for Mac.
why are you so triggered over colors?
Frick off trannie. Go seek psychiatric help
Did they actually stole the fricking rainbow ?
You mean the symbol that once stood for strength, fortitude and luck in war and made that a symbol for two gays fricking each other in the ass? Yes. Where have you been for the past few years?
I thought original gay flag wasn't rainbow Idk anon I am not really following gay sex lore
Jamal give it back
edge is the best pdf editor + handler on linux by far.
kind of ironic tbh
sumatra pdf is the best pdf viewer for windowsxp, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
It's an okay viewer but can't do what Edge can do.
Edge also used to be the best EPUB reader on Windows. I'm still unable to find anything better than that and am forced to be content with using Calibre reader.
Yeah, it sucks that they got rid of Edge's EPUB functionality. Apparently they sorta brought it back but you have to access it in a convoluted way.
>Calibre reader
I thought Calibre was just a book organization thing?
>Xournalpp
I'll have to try it out
Imagine this being the determining factor on whether or not you use a piece of software. Just don't use the themes, problem solved.
There is, just not for loonix
There are several PDF editors and annotators that offer extensive features, potentially more than Microsoft Edge. Some top-rated options include:
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: Known for comprehensive editing and annotation toolsAd1.
PDF Candy: A well-regarded free editor2.
PDF-XChange Editor: Offers a balance of features and affordability3.
PDFelement Pro: Combines a clean interface with powerful editing capabilities2.
Sorry for using ai, but you could’ve just asked ai this fricking question.
Thank you Chat-BBC
Time to put OP on suicide watch
lmao OP will have to buy a subscription for the rainbow highlighting
How dare you use a dead mans face
The laugh lives on, for we witnessed it
You laugh but I may actually kill myself over this
Maybe think of a better workflow that doesn't involve using shifty pdf format
Xournal++
edge is a good browser
