Just tried it. I can drag a drop a pdf into a note, and it loads in a pdf viewer in-note.
I can’t search the pdf text by default, but there are at least 3 community plugins with tens of thousands of downloads that are made to do this, often with OCR and works on images, not just PDF’s
Great that it’s possible, but that sounds like I’d be using it for something it’s clearly not intended to be used for and that’s just a bag of pain I’d rather not dip my toes into.
it does now. they added pdf search stuff earlier this year. that being said, I haven’t used that feature much, so I can’t attest to it’s robustness compared to a more focused application (whatever that may be, isn’t there one that starts with Z?)

Does that work great for mostly pdfs? Doesn’t seem to me like it would.
