Issue with pdf-tools on 3k display
Hi, I bought a galaxy book 3 ultra, which comes with a 2880x1800 display with 120hz. I am having a hard time to use github.com/vedang/pdf-tools with it. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time the scrolling of pdfs gets really slow. If I change the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets back to normal and scrolls smothly. I tried running both on xorg and wayland and got the same result. Also, I tried running on a fresh emacs installation with the only package being pdf-tools, and the issue is still there. Does anybody experienced something similar? I am using emacs 27.1 on PopOS 22.04.

Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Just started learning LaTeX. I have a few questions
If you want to avoid extra software from AUR, there's a plugin for Emacs called pdf-tools. Mind you will lose an option to forward/inverse search! AFAIK pdf-tools is supported in ArchLinux, so you could use already installed Emacs as a PDF viewer.

how to run pdf-view by default (and not Docview)
Pdf-view let you annotate the document. See https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools for more features. There are also quiet a few packages that work with pdf-tools.

Under the hood everything uses pdftools -- you can do highlights and other annotations but they live in the original pdf.

Replace Jupyter with Emacs Org Mode: Unleash the Power of Literate Programming
I love org mode for scientific writing (especially with org-ref [0]) but it’s just not very convenient for collaborative projects because there are very few emacs users (in my field at least). Overleaf has been workable in my experience, but I still get pushback sometimes.
A diff-aware org-latex import would be amazing for this actually, like if pandoc could do tex -> org but align all the code blocks / generated figures

Why use Emacs for LaTeX instead of Overleaf?
Do you have experience with org-ref? If so, would you be able to help me out and tell me why you prefer Citar? It looks very interesting.

Sorry, I'm not using org-ref myself yet. However, I think it pretty much addresses your use-case.
