I would like to propose the ‘inline PDF’ feature. When using Evernote, I often ‘scan’ documents into PDF to archive them digitally. When using their GUI based applications, it would show my scanned document inline. Given: There is only one attachment The markdown is empty except the link to this…

I am also highly interested in inline PDF support. Having used Evernote with loads of scanned PDFs this would be an enormous step ahead! Although the links work well in both desktop app and mobile app, it would be great to at least have the first page rendered and open the PDF externally when click…

I registered to cast another 2 cents; this feature would be invaluable for me.

If Joplin could show PDFs in-line like Evernote does, I would be able to switch everything across - that’s the only thing holding me back because I scan a lot of documents into Evernote.

There's a react-pdf package that we could use. But I see 3 issues with this: react-native does not allow to use external js, which means it has to be injected support for non-latin characters is an extra step (I do not know how much resources this requires) the pdf has to be copied to a temporary …

I too would really like this feature. One alternative, if rendering the PDF would be problematic as tessus mentions, might be to instead generate a thumbnail image on the fly and treat it like an image link (and clicking the image would open the PDF like the resource link does right now). Of cours…

[image] File Uploader and OCR Apps I published this to pypi today! It’s packaged in a more sensible manner now and should be easier to get up and running. Just pip install, call rest_uploader with a directory to monitor. I wrote the uploader app to solve this exa…

First of all, I love Joplin... it does everything I need in a note keeping app and then some. In fact I'm in the process of replacing Evernote. Already imported my notes and will probably maintain both apps for a while (adding new notes, web clipping, etc). I found that I really miss the inline PDF…

For problems 1 and 3, perhaps we could start with only supporting this in the desktop version then later extending it to support mobile too (since that’s more complicated)? Seems better to at least have the inline rendering for desktop, unless @laurent would prefer the desktop and mobile clients to …

I’d love to see this implemented as well. I also scan / archives a lot of documents, all in PDF (90% of my notes are basically composed of PDFs only) and having the possibility to see the content of PDFs in one glance would make my daily work a little bit easier. However, I don’t think this is rea…

For OCR, there’s a project for it for GSoC: https://joplinapp.org/gsoc2020/ideas.html#5-ocr-support
