Introduction
------------
Introducing notorius!
Annotating PDF files is hard. There are a few options, but none of them are good
enough for the technically inclined. Most PDF annotators use either ASCII text
or free form tools.
The question arises: How does one annotate a PDF with LaTeX notation. The answer
is, you simply don't. To repair the situation, I've written Notorius.
Before, I'd written a couple of scripts (first
[annotate_pdf](https://github.com/cako/annotate_pdf) and then
[pdfnoter](https://github.com/cako/pdfnoter)) but they were half-assed and hard
to use. So I decided I'd write a full-blown PDF reader. This is my meager
attempt at doing so.
The project is very much a work in progress, though as of now, it is entirely
functional. You can open PDF, and Okular files, or simply import notes contained
in an XML file on top of an already open PDF. Saving is also done through Okular
archives or XML files.
Installation
------------
### Linux
Get a TeX distribution and ImageMagick. Then download the appropriate binary:
32-bit (soon),
[64-bit](https://github.com/cako/notorius/blob/master/build/notorius.64), and run it!
### Windows
Get a LaTeX distribution, for example, [MikTeX](http://miktex.org/2.9/setup).
Download the
[installer](https://github.com/cako/notorius/blob/master/build/notorius0.2-setup.exe)
and run it! You can also use the program without installing it, download the
binary [here](https://github.com/cako/notorius/blob/master/build//notorius.exe).

Source
------
In order to run the program with Python instead of a binary, make sure you have
the right dependencies first.
These are the ``PyQt4`` and ``popplerqt4``. In Ubuntu 12.04 or later, they are
both available through the package manager in packages ``python-qt4`` and
``python-poppler-qt4``.
Once this is done, ``cd`` into the ``src`` folder and run ``python main.py``.
