Capacities DocsPDFs
You can read and take notes on your pdfs in Capacities. They are full objects meaning you can tag them, reference them and embed them in other objects.
PDF highlighting will be added at a later stage.
Supported file types
The following table shows all supported file extensions for the respective media types:
| Media Type | Supported Extensions |
|---|---|
| Image | *.png, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.svg, *.webp |
| Audio | *.mp3, *.ogg, *.wav, *.m4a |
| File | All |
Uploading
Go to + new type in the left side bar, choose 'PDFs' from the template list and then open that object type. Click new in the top right.
You can also upload a PDF in any of the ways you create another type of object, all of which are explained here.
Once uploaded, you can rename your PDFs, add tags, add them to collections and add notes as you would with any other object.
Embedding PDFs in other pages
Just like any other type of object, PDFs can easily be embedded elsewhere with the @ or [[]] shortcuts. You can choose the view you need too.
Here's what each view looks like:
Inline PDF View
Link Block PDF View
Widecard PDF View
Small Card PDF View
Embedded PDF view
PDF annotations and highlighting
This is not currently possible but we have big plans for this. We are currently overhauling each of the media types. See our 'What's Next' Articles to keep up to date.
