I absolutely agree with the general sentiment. Last year, I wrote my Master Thesis on how to easier create cards from PDFs (my introduction is basically this post :D). It really is a joke that a software has access to the pdf but we need to extract text (manually) from it to study it. My approach was a bit more classical: I tried to integrate new creation tools with a PDF reader (My prototype: https://github.com/LuccaHellriegel/ClayMemory). There is one "deck"-equivalent per pdf-page, an automatic-copying mechanism and context-menu for easier card creation and an origin-system, that links the position of extraction with the new card. Still a prototype (I have a laundry list of possible imporvements), but the prototype and my user study showed that there is so much potential here in making creation easier.
