Python script to add scribble to pdf - teach me how to make into a plugin

cadmus · 02-20-2012, 12:16 PM

I am not good at code stuff. SAS and R is hell for me to use. I am a GUIdiot.

This great guy came up with python scripts that will take the scribble added to PDFs using a Sony t1 and add it to the original PDF.

Alessandro Bruni was nice enough to make a windows exe file to do it for me.

I may be mistaken, it may only be the scribble and it might not reattach it to the PDF you scribbled on. I can not tell. Regardless it is a great start.

How do i make this into a Calibre plug-in that will allow me to upload the PDF article i was scribbling on and the scribble vectors i made and end up with a PDF that has my scribbles embedded into it? (this would be even better if i could also embed highlights and annotations)

What do i have to do to make this happen.
what must i read?
How many hours would this take a beginner?
How many hours would it take a pro like some of the people on this forum?

I should probably have just begged for someone to make this for me. But there is so much of that already.

It has good information regarding this topic. taos and idle have done this in a more laborious way quite well.

Needs to be a calibre plug in someday.
