Any tips for highlighting pdf files in koreader?

toodeeptofind · 02-06-2018, 03:04 AM

I need to highlight lot of texts and in laptop, I use different colors and types such as Underline, Highlight, etc as per different context.

As far as I know koreader at most suppports highlight and I can live with that. But I can't see annotations I made in koreader. Is there any programs that extracts annotations and formats in .sdr??(i guess) so I can just send all my annotations.

Do you have any tips for highlighting in Koreader?

You might want to change your subject line as "Generating new database from pdf files" will not attract those interested in KOReader's highlighting/annotation capabilities.

I don't think so, since the (third party) KOReader Highlights utility does the exact opposite: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=265433

If you just want to see them, maybe the program in question can save them as a "dumb" PDF?

Thanks for the tip. It seems I can no longer edit the topic now. Will keep that in mind.

Yeah I have used koreader highlight extension. The only thing I want to do is sync highlights in both computer and koreader. That program can extract highlights and I can see that in PC but if I need to highlight pdf in PC and sync later with koreader, I can't do so I guess.

Incidentally, would you happen to know if the highlights are visible in standalone MuPDF?
