Look at the screenshot here? First of all my skills. I am good with php and I know C++. Just that the only library I've worked with is allegro c++ and it has been a while. Now I've been looking for some program or someway to extract the highlights in a pdf document as I'm used to of reading and highlighting interesting verse, to be honest, I highlight a lot.
Anyway, I couldn't find an opensource tool that does exactly what I want, and I was wondering if something like that could be accomplished with c++. Since I don't know many c++ libraries and the limitations, I am wondering if there is a library that lets you modify/edit/create and manage pdfs and maybe then I'll be able to make something that extracts highlights/annotations from a pdf document. Anybody with prior experience with this?
EDIT: PS I tried opening the PDF in browser just wondering if there would be some class or other attribute added to the highlighted part but no luck. I can't find anything like that. I was speculating if I could just grab them with javascript.
DIT AGAIN: Found this. Not a free service. Only limited numbers of exports with the free offer.
