Hightlight
Hi @ricardocduarte, unfortunately PdfPig does not support this at the moment. In a PDF highlighting is a type of annotation. There is an issue outstanding to implement support for annotations https://github.com/UglyToad/PdfPig/issues/159. In the meantime you may be able to achieve what you need with PdfSharpCore https://github.com/ststeiger/PdfSharpCore.
At some point PdfPig will be updated to support editing existing documents #27 but I don't have any time to work on new features at the moment, sorry.
I actually need an alternative for PyMuPDF and this is perfect. Only thing that's missing is the annotation part. I'd be more than happy to contribute to it. I got it cloned and reading through it right now. But if you point me to something like trello and actually plan out what needs to be done, I can invest a day or so everyweek for it.
Hi @SimantoR thanks for your interest. I don't currently have anything like a roadmap but I'll try to put something together this coming weekend and we can go from there?
Sounds great. Also do let me know if there are code styles to follow and if they come with the repository
@EliotJones Any update on it? I might be able to provide 2 (including me) developers to the effort from my company.
Hi @SimantoR, sorry for not getting back to you, life has been hectic. In order to work out what the best way to approach this I wanted to check; is your use-case to add highlights to existing documents or only for highlights in new documents created with PdfDocumentBuilder? In the case of new documents it's a fairly small project but if it's for existing documents then it may be considerably more work, because PdfPig doesn't currently have support for editing existing documents. I may be moving country this coming weekend so my availability is limited for a bit longer, but I think once we know what the scope of the project should be we can create a GitHub project to track issues under. Thanks for your patience :)
