I think the dashes wouldn't be needed for note-only annotations, but it just occurred to me that notes would also have to include the icon somehow (in 1.5, notes can have different icons, like "questionmark", "comment", "star", and so forth).
Something like p. 6 | note(comment) | yellow
could work. I might drop the p.
though, because I'd like the format to be language-independent (in German, it would have to be S.
otherwise).
I think I'm going to start experimenting based on this, I need to submit a bugfix update pretty soon anyway because the Dropbox login dialog cannot be cancelled right now...
(I agree that p.
or similar is redundant.)
All the best with the hacking. I definitely look forward to have PDF Highlighter do my reviewing for me. ;-) Many thanks for your quick and thoughtful responses.
This format would definitely work for me (including the modifications you discussed for notes etc). Keeping it language independent is a good idea.
My use case is very similar to @Teggy's — i.e., I use Highlighter a lot to review academic papers and theses.
@omz Thank you very much for adding this feature!
Yes, that would be a great format to use.
Would that scheme also cover note-only (no highlight) annotations placed on a page? Probably:
(Whether the
---------
would be actually needed here, is debatable. It would be consistent with the scheme, at least.)I'd be all for an export formatter along these lines. It appears to be flexible, parseable, and readable at the same time.
