  • Excellent application to handwrite, to (in my case) solve physics problems for the students. It has many useful tools, it is intuitive, performant and clear. You can also anotate pdf files with Xournal++ The only problem is that in order to have the LaTex insertion active, the installation has to follow some steps (you have to be sure to install the right version and install the standalone latex via sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra ) Thank you for the excellent app!
  • This app was the key to me come back to Ubuntu. I couldn't stay on Ubuntu without this one, it is the equivalent of Preview on Mac OS, even more powerful than Preview. Thanks indeed
  • just simple and excellent to modify/annotate a PDF
  • Perfect for PDF annotation
  • Really good job guys. Microsoft can go jump off a cliff! What one needs for this project is more exposure and marketing, such that support for the people behind such open source initiatives and this projects itself can grow. Cheers !
  • OneNote for Linux
  • Awesome tool!
  • Fast, easy, effective app for pdf annotation. Well designed by having the edits saved in an XML gzipped file (the .xoj project) which can be easily updated also "by hand". A few rough corners (like cursor alignment with actual edit position) but this is why it's only version 0.x :) Thanks and keep up the great work!
  • Best note-taking and pdf annotating app I have ever used! The app is super lightweight and it works wonders on my old little x61; I have used Xournal for a few years already and I wouldn't be able to find any flaws in it: it has a lot of powerful features and doesn't waste resources with needless eyecandies. I have primarily been using it for taking notes during lectures and to fill forms and sign pdf files but the Xinput function makes it a good tool for basic sketching too. Last but not least is its cross compatibility with linux and windows. Seriously, I couldn't ask for anything better, thank you Xournal team!
  • Great tool for .pdf notes!
  • I work with Xournal very often, mostly annotating existing PDFs. It is doing a great job. Nevertheless, I miss a search option so much. Bit it is stable, consumes less memory and less space for the annotations also. I would like to see more progress up to version 1.0. Thank you for sharing this toll. Kind regards Detlef
  • Great for taking notes in class! I used it my entire senior year of highschool with no fuss! Whenever I had to turn in homework, I just converted it to PDF (so I could interface with their Microsoft network). Though not as feature-packed as Microsoft's Onenote, it is a more than adequate replacement.
  • Seemed to work great on the surface, but there's a major horrible flaw. I spent many hours modifying a PDF file, but Xournal has it's own internal format which is of course unreadable by anything else. I forgot to save it as a PDF, and when I reopened the Xournal file, the entire PDF background was gone (it only saved my typing, the original PDF graphic form was gone). End result, I have to redo all of my work - in some other application I have not decided on yet. After it was too late, I noticed there were patches that have never been applied - sitting there since 2012. I do not think any of them applied to this bug. The worst thing about it, there does not seem to be anywhere to get support. I dare say this is a dead project.

  • I have been using xournal for several years now, marking up student papers, using it in class to present and write on PDF's, and even as a quick drawing program to generate diagrams for an OpenOffice presentation. Helped me save many trees, the best notetaking program I ever used.
  • Xournal works perfectly.

  • This software has got a lot of potential, but sadly, it is prone to lag issue in its win32 form. I would be ready to participate in a Kickstarter campaign to help the developper get the necessary funding to bring it up to speed, since i lack programming skills of any kind. This is quite a pity since tablet are getting performant software, but rather unprecise capacitive hardware capability, and PC is plague by the opposite, with affordable, basic wacom tablet and lacking software ( Windows Journal won't let you easily export/annote your handmade PDF). Xournal is the solution on PC, and i hope it will someday gets more interest. With a cloud option like Dropbox, you could work on either your tablet (when excellent touch/ stylus will arrive), or on your PC, without always have to manage files.
  • Perfect to editing PDF
  • I work with xournal! its great! Its free! Waitting for new releases!
  • Love this software!!
  • Well done !! Very useful.
  • I will recommend xournal to my friends
  • excellent application!
  • Great software.
  • Great project. I use it with python-whiteboard to project problems in my math class and xournal to show work. Export to pdf lets me save class notes to send to absent students.
