       | I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the
       | "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a
       | dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising
       | amount of configuration available for those who need it.
       | 
       | Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project:

           | Edit: just tried it, tap-and-hold on a note brings up a share
           | menu that lets you select PDF. Hopefully that helps!

             | Thank you for sharing this! I've been searching for a
             | _good_ open-source handwriting app with pen and pdf support
             | on android, and this is by far the most functional I 've
             | seen. Actually good enough to start taking notes on my
             | tablet.

         | Please note that the original app was Xournal [1]. The one you

         | Xournal++.

       | Great application when used with a display tablet. Lacks
       | handwriting recognition, though.
