Bug Description

I have found pdf highlighting and note-taking in Ubuntu to be very difficult. I use Mendeley only for this reason, it lets me highlight. I would like to stay away from closed source software and would like to use Referencer as my reference manager. Please, can you work out a way to allow Referencer to highlight pdfs? I know pdf highlighting isn't your domain but this would make Referencer complete and better than Mendeley.

I guess it would be hard to reimplement these features in Referencer. But what if Referencer could simply open your highlights instead of opening the PDF file?

Try this plugin: http://urbas.si/ReferencerNotes.v0.3.0.tar.bz2

Here are the instructions on how to install it (and an explanation on what the plugin actually does): http://urbas.si/
