Xournal is an application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal using a stylus. It is free software (GNU GPL) and runs on Linux (recent distributions) and other GTK+/Gnome platforms. It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal or to other alternatives such as Jarnal and Gournal.
Xournal supports annotation of PDF files. Xournal uses the Poppler library to render PDF documents. The documents then become immutable background images. Annotation can then proceed using any of Xournal's standard tools: Pen, eraser, text, and highlighter.
Xournal Features:
* gettext internationalization
* Catalan translation, French translation
* use poppler instead of pdftoppm to render PDF backgrounds
* various improvements to UI and to key bindings
* use gtk-print instead of libgnomeprint for printing
* custom color chooser
* option to have tablet buttons toggle the mapping rather than draw
* paper color chooser
