So I was trying out another PDF reader just for the hell of it, and was confused about highlighting (There was a tool in the ribbon bar that I was too stupid to use).

Instead of looking through documentation, I actually tried to use the built-in AI to see what wisdom it could offer a peasant like me.

On the same subject, are there any open source PDF readers you can recommend?

    I’ve been using Foxit PDF Reader for several years, works well enough for my needs which are, admittedly, not extreme.

      I’ve used foxit, but the biggest issue I have right now is that they pay walled the bookmark feature. I’m trying to sort through hundreds of pages, and bookmarking is pretty much the only thing that keeps me sane.

      They silently removed it in their more recent updates and added AI instead.

        While ‘pdf24’ sounds like some cheap knock off software, it’s actually an incredible open source tool that can do most pdf editing you might want to do.

        There is no paid version.
