Highlights from local PDF file don't sync

It would be amazing to be able to sync the highlights from a local PDF. I know you wrote "Have not tested to sync annotations on PDFs." so I tested it. The highlights show in hypothes.is webpage but they are not syncing to Obsidian vault. Do you think there is a way to fix this?

I have not catered it for local PDF. However, it is stored in hypothes.is webpage, there are some missing attributes. Unfortunately, it requires a bit of rework to make this work, and I will look at it in the near future.

Is there any update on this? I noticed that it also breaks with public websites that are missing attributes and I've run into this situation a few times now. Is there a way to set a default here so it fails gracefully? e.g., just pull raw text data into Obsidian

no I am unable to replicate this issue unfortunately
