Dear Ivan, Thank you very much for the hint. I have started to test it.
- it offers more colours and types of highlighting than MS Edge; - it seems to have better word-boundary detection than MS Edge (but I haven't tested all the cases yet); There are some nit-picks: - I wish it had a better default color-pallet; - the vertical positioning continues to be sometimes sub-optimal: editing manually the coordinates may be still useful; Returning to R: 1. Some of the pdf-packages could implement some of the annotation-functionality as well. 2. It would be useful to be able to export the annotations and import/merge them in another document. I have spotted errors in various articles; such a functionality would be handy, if a new version of those articles gets published. Sincerely, Leonard ________________________________ From: Ivan Krylov <ikry...@disroot.org> Sent: Sunday, June 2, 2024 8:02 PM To: Leo Mada via R-help <r-help@r-project.org> Cc: Leo Mada <leo.m...@syonic.eu> Subject: Re: [R] Tools to modify highlighted areas in pdf documents? � Sat, 1 Jun 2024 16:16:23 +0000 Leo Mada via R-help <r-help@r-project.org> �����: > When highlighting pdf-documents with Microsoft Edge, the bounding box > is sometimes misplaced, and quite ugly so.

Its annotation features include all kinds of highlights, arrows and lines, both straight and arbitrarily-shaped, quickly available from the "annotations" panel. -- Best regards, Ivan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
