Automated snapshot of annotated content in pdfs

This repository will automate the process of saving snapshots of highlighted content within multiple pdf files.

Instructions

• pip install -r requirements
• Run snapshot_ext.py

Reference

I devised the solution from the following pages of the documentation:

• Tutorial page for introduction to the fitz liabrary
• page.searchFor to solve the return type for searchFor method
• fitz.Rect to identify what the returned objects from page.searchFor
• fitz.Point to provide parameters to create a cropping box around the highlighted content
• Collection of Recipes page to implement cropping, saving and working with images as spnapshots

🚀 Quickstart

Installing the requirements will automatically install all dependencies. Make sure you install the requirements before running the code. Also note that this requires Python 3.6+.
