pdfff workflow
Paste screenshots into terminal notes
On macOS, pdfff lets you paste a screenshot or copied PNG/JPEG file into a terminal note, then continue writing below it.
A short macOS workflow
- Run
pdfff notes.pdf. - Copy a screenshot with macOS or copy PNG/JPEG files in Finder.
- Press Ctrl+V in pdfff.
- Keep typing and save with Ctrl+S.
Clipboard shortcuts
Cmd+V pastes terminal text. Direct image clipboard pasting uses the Ctrl+V workflow above and is currently macOS-only.
Why save as an editable PDF
The PDF is readable on its own and can be reopened in pdfff later. It keeps selectable text, visible full-resolution images, and editable source together in one file.
