Samsung Notes

Whenever i export annotated (highlighted) pdfs from samsung notes, the highlighted text becomes less visible as if the highlights are blocking the letters. When will this issue be solved?

I have no answer to your question.

It seems like it would look the same if it were a photo that was highlighted through the native photo editor.

For now, I think one workaround is to take a screenshot of the annotated pdf doc then import that pic to Samsung notes.

It looks like this on samsung notes (not yet exported)

Yes, so I think you can keep on doing a screenshot every time you want to add it in Samsung Notes app for now. And I hope this post will get devs' attention and resolve it.

If you don't mind, why do you use the Samsung Notes app for this?

Hey, you might wanna use this app to open pdf docs. This might have a better integration with Samsung notes app.

From this app, you can share a text pdf to notes then highlight from there.

And it's a single app for all other Microsoft Office tools - word and excel too. I haven't used PowerPoint though.

After using this for a while, I've uninstalled Adobe acrobat, MS word and excel.

Thanks but i'll just stick to samsung notes. The least thing I could do for now is to lower the transparency of the highlighters.

You're not ditching Samsung Notes by using Microsoft Office. Look at how I import pdf to Samsung Notes. I'm not using Adobe, but MS office to open the pdf doc then I share it to Samsung Notes like in these pics.

The highlights go to the background of the texts so they stay as readable as the orig pdf doc.

Yup I understand, i have no problem with importing pdfs. My concern is about exporting the annotated pdfs, the highlighted texts get less visible

[EllisKai]

Sorry, my bad. Are you exporting it as pdf? Or as photo?

[camsss16]

Its okay. Just when i wanna print out the annotated pdfs
