Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Max Lin (@maxlinbuilds), and I’m a heavy PDF reader. Like many of you, my biggest frustration wasn't reading, but retrieving the knowledge I’d highlighted weeks later. I tried several online converters, but two things bothered me: I didn't want to upload my private research and documents to a random server. The output was always a mess of unformatted text that required another 30 minutes of cleaning. That’s why I built PDFAnnotations. I wanted something that was: ✅ Local-first (using WebAssembly for speed and security). ✅ PKM-ready (instant formatting for my Obsidian and Notion workflows). ✅ Free & Simple (no "Sign up to download" traps). I’d love to hear your feedback! Are there any specific Notion templates or other export formats (like Logseq or Heptabase) you'd like to see next? Let’s unlock your PDF knowledge together! 🚀
