Open a .pdf from a workspace or as a standalone file. doXmind keeps the original PDF unchanged while you work.
Read and navigate

Shift and drag across a page to create a highlight region.

doXmind does not include OCR. Scanned or image-only pages can be displayed, but their text is not editable unless the PDF already contains extractable text.
Save versus export
Save stores text edits, free text, and highlights in the hidden .pdf.doxmind sidecar. It does not rewrite the source PDF.
Export PDF from More actions (⋯) creates a new PDF with the current edits applied. Choose a destination if prompted; otherwise check the Downloads folder configured in Settings.
Save and wait for the header to show Saved before exporting. Open the newly exported copy to review the result; the original remains unchanged.
