PDF Note Workspace (English)
On this page
This directory contains the guides for using the English release. Begin with Getting Started when installing the application; after that, choose a guide by the task you want to perform.
- Start:
pdf_note_workspace.exe - Read-only viewer:
readonly_viewer.exe - Documentation and licenses: this
docs/directory and the releaselicenses/directory
Package folders differ slightly by edition: Full groups LibreOffice components under lo/; Lite keeps only the bundled fonts under libreoffice/. Getting Started explains how this layout reduces extraction-path length problems and where to extract the package.
Using the Application is the everyday starting point: open a PDF, add notes or annotations, then save or export your work. Guides for formats, recovery, and troubleshooting are for the point at which you need them.
