Hey Robert,
Along these lines, one of the things we’d (you, me, other hypothes.is folks) discussed back in Berlin in the spring was Hypothes.is potentially donating/extracting the PDF annotation bits—or permitting this project to. Is that still something you’re available to help with? Thanks!

Hello John, The Hypothesis client, originally built on a fork of the Annotator project, might help if you are looking for an open source solution to annotate either PDFs or web content - see https://github.com/hypothesis/client . It does not store annotations in the PDF itself, but using an instance of the Hypothesis service - for which you can either use the public one we provide (at https://hypothes.is) or you can run your own instance (which is not too tricky, but I will preface with the caveat that we can only provide limited support with any issues that come up). If you can provide a few more details about your needs I might be able to provide more guidance on using Hypothesis and/or recommend alternative solutions. Kind Regards, Rob.
