First off, you need to get pyPdf from http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownloa...oad-45619.html. Extract the zip file, and using Terminal go into the pyPdf-1.12 folder. Run the command "python setup.py install" and pyPdf will be installed on your computer. Now you can delete the downloaded and extracted files/folders.

Second, get cedric's annot.py script. TO CEDRIC: when running this script, I got the error "Exception: file has not been decrypted." Apparently on the Mac, the annotation file appears to be encrypted. So as a fix I added the following code after line 191:

if infile.getIsEncrypted() == True:
    infile.decrypt('')

This should work on all platforms since it first checks whether nullstring decryption is necessary or not.

Finally, run the script. Assuming your reader is connected, there should be 2 disks that show up on your desktop: LAUNCHER (contains the sony library installer) and Untitled (contains books and annotations). So in terminal, go to where you have the script saved, and type "./annot.py /Volumes/Untitled". Hopefully everything works, and you get the main menu which gives you a list of all the annotations. Choose the one you want and you should get a .jaj file (in the same directory as the script I think) that you can open up with Jarnal.

The only issue I have is, my annotations aren't quite lined up correctly in Jarnal, and they show up as red instead of black. Anyone know of a simple fix to this?

Thanks again for all your work!

Hi Ravi,
Many thanks for your very clear explanations.

I ve followed them but I get this error :

asd-2ownloads Simon$ ./annot.py /Volumes/READER
File "./annot.py", line 193
infile.decrypt('')
a small arrow appears under the second bracket

Thanks in advance,
Simon
