Hey there @HL.W have you found any way to preserve the Obsidian style when using pandoc? Like when I do a PDF export I get a great-looking PDF out of Obsidian, but the PDF is garbage b/c it lacks a ToC.
Using the pandoc command provided, I do get ToC but the styling isn’t nearly as nice. The code blocks in particular are less appealing vs. the Obsidian style PDF.
The current ‘Export to PDF’ is really a print to PDF option, so TOC wouldn’t work as you intend.
Have to wait for a Convert to PDF option for digital use.
I could see this coming in handy but I don’t think this is something I’d want all of the time.
Perhaps we could “Export to PDF” and there could be a drop-down menu that says “Outline Only”, “Note Only”, or “Outline then Note”.
Also, I’m curious on the formatting of the Outline of Table of Contents in a PDF. Some of my Outlines are heavily nested and would look silly as a TOC. Sometimes I might only want the H1, H2, H3, but I might want the PDF export to ignore the lower levels.
For PDFs with a large number of pages, it can be incredibly frustrating to navigate to the correct page if the PDF does not support hyperlinks. Could you add better navigation for the pdf viewer, and maybe even table of contents navigation? Pdf.js comes to mind as a useful library.
Bro, share this post in discord if possible, Obsidian is very hard to use for PDFs, you can’t even turn pages with arrow keys, or use other standard keys to move around in the PDF. I am forced to use another app for PDFs.
Another Request allow linking to a part of PDF using internal links. This can be worked out by, using linking with exact PDF search result…
I have implemented this feature, and it has not been publish on the community plugin market at present, many aspects need to be improved, welcome to try and give suggestions:
This feature is a tremendous necessity for me; I migrated from Typora and had always assumed that all markdown document tools would offer this functionality. I’m quite surprised to find that Obsidian doesn’t have it, and the known plugins don’t seem to implement it well. I am looking forward to this basic feature being available soon. Thank you to all the community developers for your hard work.
If you can right-click on Obsidian to export PDF with a directory navigation bar effect, the command line work of pandoc will be superfluous, because this is a very basic function but it still doesn’t exist.
