[kpdfsync] Annotates a PDF file with highlights and notes from 'My Clippings.txt' fil

away30 · 04-01-2022, 03:13 AM

Hi,
I use my Kindle PW to read PDF documents, but the problem with Kindle and PDF files, is that the highlights and notes made on the Kindle, are not saved on the PDF files. Which means, if I take the document out, I will not have the annotations made to it. This is a huge problem, as all my precious notes are locked on the Kindle device.

In of itself, the 'My Clippings.txt' file is too simple and unless.

So for a few months, I am writing a software which read 'My Clippings.txt' file and can apply the highlights and notes onto a PDF file.

It is still under development, so I would like some feedback. It runs on Windows and Linux. I released a new version today. So I will really appreciate, if some of you can give it a try and see it is useful.

This looks like it could be useful to many people. Can you post an example of a source PDF, a clippings text file, and the resultant highlighted PDF?
