Just to say that I am experiencing similar issues with PDFs OCR'd with ABBY FineReader. I am using the "Highlight Selection and Make Bookends Notecard" feature in Bookends and would like to keep using this. Is there any application on the Mac that would OCR PDFs in a different way meaning ...

Yes, that's where I was looking. I have tried changing all of the default font settings to a larger font, including 'References' and none of the settings change the font used when double clicking on a note to edit it, or when viewing the edit window which contains all of the notes for a given refere...

Thanks Jon. Leading space is now not there!

I can't see an option to set the default font size for editing references in Preferences. Can you point me in the right direction please?

It's a black background now, so I can see the text clearly. Thanks! I think I may have noticed another issue today. When using "Highlight Selection and Make Bookends Notecard" there is a leading space before the '>' symbol, meaning that the quote isn't recognised as such in the notecard. I...

Ah, perfect. Thanks Jon. Hope you're well!

Hi, I think it used to be the case that, when I used "Highlight Selection and Make Bookends Notecard" a highlight wouldn't appear in the note stream as a separate item. The text in the PDF would be highlighted of course, which is what I want, but I don't want a list of highlights in the no...

Hi,

It doesn't happen every time in dark mode, but it does happen more often than not. When I double click a note to edit it in the note stream I see a blank note, or rather I have white text (which is selectable) on a white background. How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Nick

Sure. How should I send it to you?

Generally all works well in Bookends with highlighting and making Bookends notes from PDFs, but I now have a PDF that displays fine in Bookends, but from which I can't copy text. Similarly there is no text when I try to create Bookends notes from sections of text in the PDF (the notes generated are ...

Hi Jon,

Sorry, I don't follow exactly what you mean. I don't seem to be able to right click on a highlight and create a notecard, but probably I have misunderstood.

Thanks for the update Serge. Do you have an idea of when this will be ready? And in the meantime, what's the best workaround? Should I just highlight on the iPad and then, when I am on the Mac, delete the highlight and replace it with the "Make Quoted PDF Highlight From Selection". It's cl...

Hello, I use the "Make Quoted PDF Highlight From Selection" option in the Mac version of Bookends and I am looking for something similar in the iOS version. I can see that there are notecards on the abstract view in the iOS app, but it seems that I can only generate new notecards on this p...

It was definitely a static group, and yes, restarting the application has removed the issue, for now at least!

Yes, I'm doing this. Selecting the static group in the sidebar, so that only the references from the group show, and then selecting the reference and then Edit->Clear.

OK, thanks. I think you mean that there is no configurable option!
