A seamless integration with Xournal++. Xournal++ is an open-source and cross-platform note taking application for digital, handwritten notes and PDF annotations.

Install Plugin | Documentation | GitHub | Discord

Features

• 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.

Usage

[!IMPORTANT] 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).
