Issue with PDF annotation links on Android / Question regarding native PDF viewer (version 3.6.3)

Hi everyone,

I've been using SiYuan for about a week now, already paid pro subsciption ( lifetime) after migrating from Obsidian and Logseq DB, and I'm really enjoying the experience so far. However, I've encountered some unexpected behavior on the Android mobile app regarding PDF deep links:

  1. The Issue: When I click a link to a specific PDF annotation, it works correctly the first time. However, if I click a second link to a different annotation in that same PDF, it simply opens the file in my default external viewer (Google Drive) without jumping to the specific highlighted page or annotation.
  2. Native Support: Does the SiYuan Android app have a built-in PDF viewer? In Obsidian, I used a plugin (PDF++) to handle this flawlessly, but I am looking for a way to make this work seamlessly(natively?) in SiYuan.
  3. Clarification: Is native PDF support with deep-linking capabilities currently in development for the mobile app, or is there a specific setting I need to adjust to keep these links functioning within SiYuan?

I would appreciate any insights or workarounds from the experts here!

    Welcome to here!

    Here we can learn from each other how to use SiYuan, give feedback and suggestions, and build SiYuan together.

      Thank you. I am specifically looking for an in-app PDF viewer (for siyuan android)with annotation capabilities. My goal is to be able to read my notes on android phone with direct links back to the annotated PDF or specific pages. This is essential for reviewing my work while traveling. I’m very glad to hear this feature is being developed

      Currently, opening PDFs is not supported on mobile devices. Support may be added in the future; please follow Issue #10911 · siyuan-note/siyuan for updates.
