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.
Best,
Matt
