Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • To check if the user’s installer is new enough for your plugin to work and notify them if needed, you will need something like this https://github.com/RyotaUshio/obsidian-pdf-plus/blob/main/src/modals/installer-version-modal.ts This is...
  • Uh .. I use PDF++ to annotate PDFs?
  • There's also [PDF++](https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=pdf-plus)
  • PDF++ is great for annotating PDF files.
  • PDF is a really great standard, and that's what I'm using, but I'm also making sure I have plenty of devices that can read this format that will last long enough in the event the format becomes obsolete and newer computers can't read them.

Cons

  • PDF is never used for photography.
  • Parent context: My portfolio is for photos so are you saying upload PDF format or stick with JPEG if it’s photos that I’m uploading? Reply: PDF and JPEG are not interchangeable. PDF is for documents and JPEG is for images.
  • I have notes but no one else uses obsidian and PDF is not cutting it
  • I've tried PDF++ and Annotator, but since I use Obsidian primarily on my cell phone, I've found both plugins somewhat complicated to manage on mobile devices.
  • It's one of the absolute worst formats unless you specifically *need* to have stuff in the original layout.

My system is mainly focused on being able to easily write math notes, I use latex-suite plugin, auto attachment arrangement, excalidraw and pdf++ to write math easily

Yes, you can create a collage or portfolio and send it as a PDF to clients

Parent context: JPEG is great for photos, but PNG works well for logos or graphics. PDF is best for portfolios. Reply: JPEG is great for photos, but PNG works well for logos or graphics. PDF is best for portfolios.
