Onyx and apparently many others are using these to locate the highlighted text

pdfloc(docid,page,line,x1,x2,a,b,c), where

docid: sort of hash, same in the whole document
page: page number, starting at 0
line: indicator. To get real line, do (line-1)/8
x1: nr of characters from start of line
x2: update x1:=x1+2*x2
a: some number, always zero?
b: starting marker (0) or ending marker (1)
c: always 1

If you google #pdfloc you will find links like the one above
this one here is focused on Onyx http://uiorean.ro/Wikka/OnyxBookAnnotations
and I do not think the format for annotations changed.
http://uiorean.ro/Wikka/OnyxBookAnnotations

This code could be used by a programmer to merge the annotations back into the PDF file (if that is not solved by Onyx in the mean time)
