lesnoexchange.blogg.se - How to copy highlighted text in pdf

(Disclaimer: I am the developer of the Acrobat Add-on: nmcHighlighter for Acrobat). Here is a free and easy to use solution - an Acrobat Add-on written in JavaScript. So please don't visit the site thinking it is a free app.īut if anyone wants to take the same path and develop from scratch, I can help with pointers, if you email me (Alex) at I have been a regular visitor of coding sites including stackexchange and stackoverflow till now but this is my first post here :) It is the result of 1 months hard work learning Java and PDFBox. If anybody is still looking for this requirement, you may try it.Ĭaveat: It is not free.

MY FAVORITE: Provision to split different colour highlights to different files.

Single file processing and bulk processing.

Provision to specify delimiters in the comment generator.

Provision to copy highlight texts to comment pop ups for highlights made from a tablet.

Provision to copy old highlight texts to comment pop ups retroactively (that is you had not made the setting explained above before making the comment.).

I have added the following features in it: I have written a small app for this and hosted at. It is great, but I found one issue that the other than the highlighted text, it has some text appearing extra (leading and trailing parts of highlighted text). I first tried the application that was hosted in sourceforge.
