Highlighter 2.x

ABU 21-feb-2025 - Updated to version 2.1

Highlighter 2 is a fully redesigned evolution of Highlighter, a full app for reading and adding annotations to PDF documents.

With Highlighter 2 you can browse and annotate multiple documents at once. Documents are organized in a znotebook and they can be detached as independent windows so that you can look at, compare, and annotate two documents at the same time.

Here is a preview
