Good Annotations is completely free :)
Free of charge != Free Software :)

#22I created a similar service Kontxt (https://kontxt.io) that converts PDFs to websites with Google Doc like shareable controls and inline annotations: highlights, comments (with @mentions & deep-links to page-parts), polls, and auto-scroll navigation.

#23If one wants to keep one's privacy and use desktop software, then I can recommend Ocular, which is developed by KDE (think Plasma for Linux): https://okular.kde.org
* It's cross platform (not just for Linux) * Can read and markup/highlight: PDF, Postscript, DjVu, CHM, XPS, ePub and others.
I use it as an e-book reader for mostly books in PDF format. There are better e-book readers, but Ocular meets my needs of highlighting and taking notes in the PDF. Admittedly, Ocular seems to have some limitations with ePub files.

I forgot to mention that Ocular is free (no cost). The Dev team also provides related software that is referenced in the link already provided:

* Free Software PDF readers
* Poppler

#25Content warning: strong language I literally just spent an hour trying out different apps on a windows pc to annotate a scientific paper (standard arxiv paper) with a stylus. The results are devastating ... Every app is so broken, hidpi isn't there, font rendering is crap, touch on windows is essentially unusable, many apps didn't even let me un-fullscreen without going back to desktop mode (this is a convertible). I…
I had the exact same experience. It's intolerably bad on Windows. Can you give me an idea of what worked well with Debian? I hadn't even considered that as an option.
Ubuntu studio worked best for my touchscreen laptops. Only distro I found that handled things well.

#26I see a lot of complaints on this thread and those complaints lead me to believe you guys haven't tried the outstanding Drawboard PDF.

>It is so much worse than on debian I feel you. What DID you end up using on Debian then?
https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp Not perfect but so much more workable than what I saw here. Also much more workable on linux than on windows... :| Edit: I had written "sadly much more workable on linux than on windows" but honestly I don't think it's sad at all.
xournal has builds available for windows. I just showed my wife how to sign a pdf her laptop last night (the only windows machine in the house).

I tried that (well, xpurnalpp, not xournal) and the stylus/touch story didn't compare to the Debian experience at all... :(
