Is it possible (and how) to extract highlighted text from a PDF (via API)?
I’ve used https://github.com/jalan/pdftotext for automated pdf text parsing before, but I wasn’t doing anything with highlighting and I’m not sure what the formatting for that looks like or if it would be simple or even present in the output of this library. You could give it a test run on one of your pdfs and see though. Best of luck; pdf text extraction is a nightmare, especially if they don’t all come from the exact same source and generation system, since they’re not really text documents.
