Xournal++, alternative Linux à Adobe Acrobat Reader
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Xournal++ is a strong replacement if you prioritize annotation, handwriting, and visual markup over complex form handling or digital signing. It excels at highlighting, drawing, and adding text to PDFs with better stylus support than Acrobat. However, it is not a direct one-to-one swap for users who rely heavily on filling interactive PDF forms or creating legally binding digital signatures. For readers who mainly consume and mark up documents, it is a solid, lightweight choice. For heavy form users, look for a different tool.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Adobe Acrobat Reader
Xournal++ opens standard PDF files directly. When you save your work, it typically exports to PDF, preserving your annotations on top of the original content. It does not edit the underlying PDF structure, so complex form fields may not be preserved or editable in the exported file. If you need to keep interactive forms functional, you may need to use a different tool for that specific task.

Can I fill out PDF forms in Xournal++?
No, Xournal++ is not designed for filling interactive PDF forms. It is better suited for annotating static content. If you need to fill forms, use a dedicated PDF viewer or editor.
Does Xournal++ support digital signatures?
It does not have built-in tools for creating or verifying digital signatures. You can draw a signature image, but it will not be a legally binding digital signature.
Is Xournal++ good for reading large PDFs?
Yes, it handles large PDFs well and provides smooth navigation. However, if you only read and never annotate, a lighter viewer like Evince or Okular might be faster.
