I’ve consumed the Obsidian Field Guide from top to bottom and now I’m getting the idea of why this is potentially such a great app. One use case I have (lawyer) is marking up and grabbing quotations from PDFs. The pre-release version of Obsidian on the desktop now lets you do this natively. You select text in a PDF in the attachments folder and you can then paste either the selection or just a link to it in another note.
I’d love to do this on the mobile version of the software (especially on iPad). I signed up for the Obsidian TestFlight beta and in the instructions on what to test, there it is: “Test PDF selection”. But, when I try it (using the same PDFs i was successfully able to do this with on the Mac, I am not able to select text at all, let alone perform any functions on it. Now, that may be a bug and I will report it that way just to be sure. But it may also be an intended “feature” (if not being able to do something can be labeled a feature!).
Hoping someone here can shed some light on this. I posted in the Obsidian Forum but so far no responses.
