Contextual Feedback in Obsidian

Bringing feedback into your Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system allows you to learn from it. This tool converts scattered PDF comments into structured Obsidian Callouts.

Why Use Callouts?

Standard text lists can get messy. By wrapping comments in Obsidian Callouts (e.g., > [!NOTE]), we:

  1. Visually distinguish external feedback from your own internal thoughts.
  2. Enable collapsing: Fold long strings of feedback to focus on the big picture.
  3. Preserve context: Every comment includes a deep link ([[file.pdf#page=x]]) back to the specific location in the source PDF.

Turn critical feedback into permanent knowledge in your vault.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it link to the page?

Yes. We generate standard Obsidian internal links to the PDF pages.

Are timestamps preserved?

Yes. If a creation date exists in the PDF, it's added to the note metadata.

Does it support nested comments?

We extract comments linearly but group them by page to maintain the conversational order.
