How to extract annotations from PDF?

Post by Zoranj »

Does anyone have a working method to extract annotations from PDF as txt or xml file?
I see there is a lot of programming libraries that can be used to do this, like Itextsharp, but I need simple script or CLI tool to do this.
I believe Enfocus should offer this as native capability, especially since they released PDF Preview module.
What good is annotation in PDF if you can not use it to do something with that data?

Thanks

Apago PDFspy can extract annotations, a ton of other info, from PDF files. It creates an XML dataset attached to the job.
