   Hey #fediverse people, do you know a #CLI tool to extract highlighted texts from a PDF or epub ?

   #opensource #linux #terminal #shell

     @hyde I would probably run pdftops or pdttohtml over it, see if and how they mark up highlighted parts, then extract those with the usual plaintext filters.

     @hyde If you have any trouble with it, send me a sample PDF with highlights and I'll fiddle around a bit, I enjoy it.
