I've always envied Adobe Reader/Acrobat users and tablet apps users who have forever been able to freely write on PDFs as if they are physical sheets of papers. Yes, you can use #Xournal++, but I want it as a streamlined UX built into my day-to-day #GNOME PDF reader app.

Although it was not implemented in #Evince, the #Poppler library has some support for ink-like handwritten #PDF annotations.

I have now put together usecases & broad ideas into this #GNOMEPapers ticket: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubat…

I'd settle for page reorder, doc merge, etc. Preview on macOS have been doing that since forever and I think poppler supports it.

For starter.

@hub As I understand it, @pabloyoyoista is not against someone going through the design process and implementing pages manipulation in Papers ;)
