Fully-suited and ergonomic tool for all PDF annotation needs. I use it for annotating handed-in assignments at university. The Linux Mint version crashes with Unicode characters like checkmarks though. Better to use the most recent .deb file from Xournal here, since they often do fixes and seldomly get updated here.

Using with XP-Pen stylus, this app is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to marking digital assignment, grading scanned papers, etc. Resulting PDF is only marginally larger. Feature-rich, polished and developed with care. A+!

I can draw or add base content backgrounds, text, images, SVGs, shapes & Insert/Delete pages in PDFs. This app fills a big gap for the open source community! Thank you!
