A seamless integration with Xournal++. Xournal++ is an open-source and cross-platform note taking application for digital, handwritten notes and PDF annotations.
Install Plugin | Documentation | GitHub | Discord
Features
- Automatically export Xournal++ notes to PDF whenever they are modified, so that they can be linked, embedded, and viewed in Obsidian
- Easily create new Xournal++ files (.xopp) directly from within Obsidian, accessible from the ribbon icon, file explorer, and command palette
- Access the "Edit in Xournal++" option via an icon in the PDF preview as well as in file explorer (by clicking on
X++), enabling quick navigation to the corresponding Xournal++ file.
Usage
[!IMPORTANT] Be mindful that any PDF files sharing the same name and location as Xournal++ (.xopp) files will be overwritten with the exported version. This ensures seamless integration and consistent file management within Obsidian (regular vault backups are therefore recommended).

- Open Obsidian and got to Settings → Community Plugins
- Turn on Community Plugins
