pdf-annotation-extractor-alfred

• Introduces Annotation Codes
• Thanks to @StPag from the Obsidian Discord Server for his ideas

• citekey matching is now case insensitive (thanks @ShiJianhui)

• small bugfix concerning citekey recognition from filename

• inserts citekey & Pandoc citations instead of APA-styled references (⚠️ breaking change, if you previously used version 2.0)
• prepends yaml headers when exporting to Markdown or Obsidian
• inserts title at the annotations header as well
• removed options for page number extraction, instead tries all of them (priority: bibtex information, DOI, manual input)
• clipboard as fifth output format

• Simplified installation
• further improved DOI recognition
• replaced Notion Export with (much better) Obsidian Export
• option to Export to Drafts
• new icon (again)
• automatically merge two highlights when the second one has exactly the content j
• further improved cleaning
• some debugging
• changed contto c for merging across pages
• scrolls up when having to manually enter first page
• enabled the input of negative numbers (e.g. when page counting starts at PDF page 3, input "-1" is required)

• improved DOI recognition

• automatic quote merging now also works on the same page (useful for leaving out sth between two quotes)

• run from directly from aconf
• some under-the-hood-improvements

• scans the PDF for a DOIs, if they are found, uses the DOI to automatically get the page numbers online

• option to automatically recognize the page number from filename (similar to reference input), when filename is formatted authors_year_page-page_[...].pdf
• nicer icons for aconf keyword

• automatically merge highlights that span two pages: give the highlight on the next page exactly the comment cont and they two highlights will be merge. The comment from the first highlight will be preserved and the reference will be corrected to include two pages, e.g. Pohl 2018: **13-14**
• setting for the number of columns per pdf page (wrong column number results in wrong order of some annotations in the resulting document)
• waits till Notion is running before searching there
• small bugfix with Finder

• Support for directly triggering from PDF Expert.
• As PDF Expert only allows to retrieve a filename, the workflow searches for the path of that file. To speed up the search, only the location selected via "aconf" will be searched. In case there are two files, the most recently modified one will be used.
• new icon

small fix with free comments.

• runs bug free and is ready to use!
• aconf has a loop for more convenience of doing multiple configurations, prettier icon, force input of digits as page numbers

First working version of the workflow. Only extracts highlights and free comments for now, but fully functional otherwise.

Will implement the other annotation types (underlines, etc.) in the future. Auto-Updating is enabled, so no updates will be missed.
