Editor's Notes

  • #8 Lack of advanced features: Compared to some commercial note-taking applications, Xournal may lack certain advanced features. Limited file compatibility: Although Xournal excels at annotating PDF files, it may face challenges when working with other file formats. Limited community support: As an open-source project, Xournal's development and support depend on the efforts of volunteers.
