Has anyone else played with using Diigo and the ability of Google Desktop to view the content of one's files in a web browser? GD also allows pdf files to be viewed as html, so I've been able to highlight and bookmark pdf files and have them searchable via Diigo.

Speaking of which, is there still talk of making pdf's directly highlight-able and comment-able via Diigo? The 'view as html' feature is far from perfect

thanks!

It's not easy to highlight online PDF file. Could you like to accept it as a premium feature later ?

I think you can use PDF download , an add-on for firefox. It can transfer PDF to html at the same time when you download it. After that, I will use scrapbook to manage it. You can highlight , add notes, and it is very easy to search. It is also very useful to keep any webpage you are interested.
