How can we make Xodo even better?

Linux app

I would very much like a LInux version of your app. I work on several different platforms and it is frustrating to use one program for one platform and another for another.

    With schools going virtual, many documents will need to be filled out virtually. I did this with students with disabilities in the past.

    Some districts are taking advantage of computer recycling centers that load Linux on older laptops. Many cannot run a full Chrome instance, so are using lighter browsers that won't necessarily run an extension or webapp.

    I know linux is a moving target and hard to support with differing package managers, but perhaps you could support just one...such as appimage or snap. That could be a start.

    Either way, I appreciate the development. Yours is an excellent product. Thank you!

    I would also like to see this working on Linux. I've checked out the alternatives, and none are at the level of Xodo. Xournalpp comes close, but it does not recognize the pdf as text, which prevents highlighting, underlining etc! Foxit is much less friendly for casual markup and annotations of pdf files. The same with Okular. So something like Xodo is sourly missing!

    I think they will never make one. This request was made in 2014. They could have already made one by now.
    I use Foxit Reader in Linux. You can find it here , just scroll down and click on free download.

    You can do anything in foxit that you do in xodo. I also think it is better than xodo. But their android app is laggy.
    I use xodo in android and foxit in linux.

    You can install Anbox in linux system and install XODO in that. But by doing so you cannot view documents outside anbox. First you need to copy your documents to anbox using adb push.

    Learn how to install anbox https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/install.md#install-anbox
