    I've posted about this before, and I'm still waiting for a clear response. Are you planning to support catching PDF files and annotate on them? I would like to use just one bookmarking service, but because of little things like this one, I still find that FURL is very useful.

    On our To-Do.

    Does Furl offer web annotation, and do they offer it for PDF? don't think so. What do they have that Diigo doesn't have?

    Of course not. That's why I demand more from my favorite bookmarking and researching tool: Diigo.

    FURL does catch PDF files. So I keep using it. If the site with the PDF file goes down I still have a copy on FURL.

    I work a lot with PDF files, since I read scientific journals. FURL keeps a copy for me, but Diigo could do much more. You understand what I mean.

    I had thought about adding this as a request, but it seemed to me to be far more difficult to annotate a pdf file on the web than an HTML file. This being said, many journals offer a pdf as well as an html version and I simply annotate the HTML version. There are however those who do offer HTML files so if pdf annnotation is possible, it would be great.
