Mendeley desktop saves PDF annotations without saving them to the original PDF.


Dont use Mendeley, it is owned by Elsevier.

You can’t even export pdfs or notes from it anymore to send to others. Only some snippets via some bad Elsevier platform which is a headache. They will lock you in, and they specifically updated Mendeley such that the database is encrypted towards you yourself. I lost my whole Years worth of papers and research to it.

Do not use Mendeley. Do not use anything made by Elsevier.
