A few comments/questions/ramblings: - The type of highlights you get from RepliGo contain the text itself. I mean, when in your pdf I use C-c C-a l, the buffer showing the contents of each highlight contain the highlighted text. This is not what I get from, say, EzPDF (which is what I use on Android), or from highlighting from pdf-tools itself using C-c C-a h, or from highlighting from Okular. The contents just gives the rectangle). Hummmm... Because of this, when I use your code on my pdfs, I only get things such as Highlight ([[pdfview:/home/ramon/Zotero-data/storage/ESHHD4KW/Frank_2015_Commentary.pdf::5][Frank_2015_Commentary]], 5) instead of the text. Bummer! I wonder if RepliGO gives you a lot more than the rest, or if I am doing something silly. - You have to call mwp/pdf-multi-extract on each file/set of files. I guess if I knew elisp, I'd find it trivial to iterate over a set of directories and subdirectories (and do this using a cron job at night), and also place everything in one single org file. Would this be something reasonable to do? (This might be related to your second Todo) - I know nothing about how it works, and it does not use pdf-tools, but in your first Todo you mention: "extend the pdfview link type (in org-pdfview) to permit me to specify the precise location of an annotation,". PDF.js (https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/), which is used for instance by zotfile (http://zotfile.com/) does that and it works out of the box with Okular (but I've not been able to get it to work with pdftools). - In case it matters, I have somewhat similar modus operandi. I do a lot of PDF reading, including note-taking and highlighting, in android tablets ---I use EzPDF, which also embeds the notes in the PDF. I have a cron job that extracts all the highlights and annotations of all the PDFs and places them in a single org file. The kludge is explained here: https://github.com/rdiaz02/Adios_Mendeley#extracting-all-pdf-annotations-and-placing-them-in-an-org-mode-file The truth is I use two mechanisms for PDF annotation and highlighting extraction, since none is fully satisfactory to me, but the one that uses Ruby (i.e., that does not depend on poppler) is able to actually extract the text of the highlights.

Really neat! A few comments/questions/ramblings:

- The type of highlights you get from RepliGo contain the text itself. I =C2=A0 mean, when in your pdf I use C-c C-a l, the buffer showing the conte= nts
=C2=A0 of each highlight contain=C2=A0 the highlighted text.

=C2=A0 This is not what I get from, say, EzPDF (which is what I use on Andr= oid),
=C2=A0 or from highlighting from pdf-tools itself using C-c C-a h, or from<= br> =C2=A0 highlighting from Okular. The contents just gives the rectangle). Hu= mmmm...


=C2=A0 Because of this, when I use your code on my pdfs, I only get things<= br> =C2=A0 such as

Highlight
([[pdfview:/home/ramon/Zotero-data/storage/ESHHD4KW/Frank_2015_Commentary.p= df::5][Frank_2015_Commentary]],
5)


=C2=A0 instead of the text. Bummer! I wonder if RepliGO gives you a lot mor= e
=C2=A0 than the rest, or if I am doing something silly.

I think that there is no standard way of storing the = highlight contents. I chose Repligo over EZPDF because it gives you access = to the text of the highlights!=C2=A0

Okular, I think, st= ores your annotations in its own database, rather than in the pdf. You can = (I think!) attach the annotations to the pdf from inside Okular.=C2=A0 At l= easts, that's what I remember from when I was looking around.

- You have to call mwp/pdf-multi-extract on each file/set of files. I guess=

=C2=A0 pdftools).

Until I found pdf-tools, I had planned to write a nod= e wrapper for pdf.js and grab the annotations that way.=C2=A0 But I don'= ;t really know how to do that, so this turned out to be easier :-)

Anyway, I've judated the post, and it's now possible to c= reate links to individualt annotations, though you will have to use my upda= ted version of org-pdfview, until/unless Markus accepts my patch. =C2=A0

What sort of options are you thinking about? Right now it creates one org heading for each set of notes corresponding to a page. May be you can work with the interleave.el dev to add in your ideas and code. I had worked with him to make interleave support pdf-tools and it was a pleasure to work with him.

Yeah, right now it is one org file per pdf.

What sort of options are you thinking about? Right now it creates one
org heading for each set of notes corresponding to a page.=C2=A0

May be you can work with the interleave.el dev to add in your ideas
and code. I had worked with him to make interleave support pdf-tools
and it was a pleasure to work with him.
I meant INTERL= EAVE_PDF. I just opened an issue: https://github.com/rudolfochrist/interleave/issues= /13=C2=A0 so who knows, maybe...

Maybe you can try: Repligo (as you say) grabs the text in the highlighted region and adds it to the "subject" connected to the highlight. I think it is rather unique in doing so. AFAIK, Okular, pdf-tools, or other android tools (mupdf, xodo reader) do not not do this. In other words, it is thanks of Repligo's previous extraction that the function on Matt's blog is able get the text of the highlighted region. Otherwise, you would need a means of going back into the region highlighted and extracting the embedded text. Pdf-tools doesn't currently extract the text, but it might not be that difficult to modify it to do so, since it already has the bounds of the highlighted region and can select and copy text embedded in the pdf.

This will fail on cropped pdfs if you have added highlights using the most recent pdf-tools, which stores negative values in the 'edges field, but I've found it works otherwise.

Actually, Okular stores the annotations in the PDF itself if you do = "Save

easy to check by doing that and then opening the file with another reader in another machine (e.g., in an android).

Nope, no evidence of the text. I get things such as

(((buffer . #<buffer Frank_2015_Commentary.pdf>) (page . 13) (edges 0.113553 0.31717 0.868657 0.361746) (type . highlight) (id . annot-13-0) (flags . 4) (color . "#ffff00") (contents . "") (modifi= ed 22081 45188)
(label . "TF201") (subject . "Highlight") (opacity . 1.= 0) ...)


so we get the location of the highlight (and its properties), but not the textual contents. And this is the case whether I make the annotation with EzPDF or Okular or, for that matter, with pdf-tools itself.

So it seems RepliGO is actually giving you a lot more by default :-)


Try replacing 
(text (assoc-default 'subject annot))

with=


(text (pdf-info-gettext page (assoc-default 'edges annot)))
in the lambda function in pdf-annot-markups-as-org-text.= =C2=A0 This will fail on cropped pdfs if you have added highlights using th= e most recent pdf-tools, which stores negative values in the 'edges fie= ld, but I've found it works otherwise.=C2=A0 I'd love to hear if it= works for you too. (I know you're following the relevant bug report on= the pdf-tools github repo).

I'll do. In the meantime, I think this is a limitation coming fr= om
poppler. Other people have mentioned similar things (e.g.,
http://coda.caseykuhlman.com/entries/2014= /pdf-extract.html) and using other
tools that depend on poppler (such as Leela:

itself.

I'd love to hear if it works for you too. (I know you're > following the relevant bug report on the pdf-tools github repo). It works! I get the highlighted text (I have just tried with a pdf I highlighted with EzPDF, the one that, above, was giving just the location and properties). And it still does the correct thing in your pdf (the one from repligo). Awesome! Thanks.

Very recently, on 11 November, there were a couple of commits to this pdf-tools fork which also let you export highlighted text: https://github.com/pinguim06/pdf-tools Matt Price already referred to the pull request from that fork, but those commits are more recent than the original pull request. I think it uses the same principle as the solution mentioned here but maybe it's more elaborate. I don't know enough elisp to confirm that. -- Matti From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Subject: Re: Org Mode and PDF Notes!
