I should be able to download the annotations to share or to read on another device (tablet). As it is, those annotations stay on the web addon and are thus not useful. If possible, I should have the option to embed them on the PDF.

Great extension. The only thing I hate is when your marked or commented a file, after downloading and sending it to someone else, the annotations are not visible because they are saved to my library. I wish there would at least be the option to download the markdowns and annotations, so others could see them too. Would make life easier because rn I have to do the annotations in a different tool and thats just annoying tbh. Would love to see an Update soon on this, it's the only thing I'm missing.

This extention no longer works on my linux box. It now prevents pdf from loading on my machine - both local and remote. Is it another example of a brilliant idea from google without commitment to follow though for a real prodcut. Will it just disappear like google primer which also had a high rating? Why not add it to the google bug tracker so you can find out out bugs ?

Desde el 21 de abril ya no funciona, y justamente la última actualización fue el 21 de abril. Los archivos no cargan y no abren, incluso si espero mucho tiempo. Me gusta mucho esta extensión, ojalá y lo corrijan. Actualización 4 de junio: ¡Ya funciona! Muchas gracias.

Not doing good still. It keeps hanging up even on simple highlights. Don't know how to export modified file.
