What I’m trying to do

I am trying to insert pdf files from my professors in my obsidian notes, and in onenote i am able to insert it as one long picture, so that i can take notes next to each of the individual slides. In Obsidian, however, the pdf file becomes a module that covers the whole space, in which i can scroll, but if i want to take notes i have to do it above og below the module. Any solution to this?

If you are able to open the picture above, i basically want the yellow thing to not happen. I only want it as a long picture, like a picture in a word document, that i can make smaller og larger depending on what i need.

Thank you in advance, anyone who can help!

Things I have tried

Messing around with settings, searching the internet for answers, to no effect.

There’s no setting to what you want.

I can imagine something like this:
You take a pic of the PDF and put it in your note. Then you make the image clickable so that the PDF will open (in its own tab prolly).
I never tried it but I’ve seen some threads about this before.

You may not need path, only filename of pdf, though.

It should work or at least put you on track.

I’ve been using pdf as a source to rwrite articles, kind of similar to your use case, and I’ve used two methods:

  1. insert the pdf (temporarily) into the note I’m writing, and setting the size so that it’s more convenient to look at on the top of the document
  2. split the Obsidian window into two, and use the right part for the pdf, and the left part for my note
