Google Scholar PDF Reader
Sioyek is a PDF viewer designed exactly for reading research papers and textbooks: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek.
- ArXiv now offers papers in HTML format

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Sioyek: a PDF viewer optimized for reading research papers and textbooks. https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek
It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

SumatraPDF Reader
I implore all developers of PDF readers to implement sioyek's overview feature[0]. When you hover on a cross-referenced entry, it opens a little preview window with the contents of the reference. It is an absolute game-changer for reading textbooks and technical papers; I cannot overstate its utility.

- Vimtex: sioyek is not executable. Any idea how to solve this. I'm on wsl2 Ubuntu.

Sioyek PDF Viewer on Asahi Linux
Has anyone been able to run the sioyek PDF viewer (https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek) on Asahi? I've tinkered around a little, but the max I've gotten to is a black window with the executable complaining about an inability to compile certain shaders. Would this be due to the current OpenGL in mesa-asahi-edge (and thus can't be solved until we get more recent OpenGL version support) or is there some way to finagle around this?

PDF Viewer that Compiles LaTeX Notes?
Maybe chat to the dev of https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek about adding this as a feature. It's probably the closest pdf viewer I can think of that might do something like this in the future.
- What software would you like to see ported?
- Good PDF reader/annotation for research

Adding names on picture from table
Depending on the output format you need you then either use Windows' "print to PDF" driver and print these documents on your cards or, if you need a picture format, install a printer driver to "print" to tiff, jpeg or png.

PDF printer - possibility of no dialog save & no subscription
Look at https://github.com/clawsoftware/clawPDF you should be able to build a printer that meets your requirements with it.

I have one large document I need to OCR (500 pages) I don't want to buy anything
Another possibility would be to install a virtual printer driver like clawPDF and just print the required pages, either to PDF or to multipage TIFF (if your music scanner accepts that). Windows' own PDF printer doesn't seem able to print only part of an opened document.

PDF tömörítés
Az érdekes, hogy a pdf creator magja az amúgy open source, csak ugye nem teszik ki ezt az ablakba, meg buildből csak a reklámokkal telitoltat rakják ki. De! Létezik a ClawPdf ami konkrétan ugyanaz mint a pdfCreator, csak nincs benne a sok reklám meg hasonló borzalom: https://github.com/clawsoftware/clawPDF
