Hello,
I use a little handler to extract all highlight notes from my Skim document per
page. However, the notes on any page will not be sorted by the order they are
on the page but by time created. Has anyone done anything similar and knows how
to sort them by order on the page? They are sorted in that order in the GUI so
I assume it must be possible. I also noticed they are sorted in appearance
order when exporting the notes to a text file, but I don't want all these
"Highlight page X" headings and keep them grouped by page, which is the purpose
of this script.
Here is the handler:
on exportSkimNotes(theSkimDocument)
set theSkimNotes to {}
tell application "Skim"
open theSkimDocument
set theSkimDocumentForSkim to the result
set numberOfPages to count pages of theSkimDocumentForSkim
repeat with currentPage from 1 to numberOfPages
set pageNotes to {}
set currentPDFpage to page currentPage of
theSkimDocumentForSkim
set pageNotes to notes of page currentPage of
theSkimDocumentForSkim
if pageNotes is not {} then set theSkimNotes to
theSkimNotes & my implode("", {"Page " & currentPage & ":"})
repeat with i from 1 to count of pageNotes
set theSkimNote to item i of pageNotes
set theSkimNote to (get text for theSkimNote)
as string
set theSkimNotes to theSkimNotes & theSkimNote
end repeat
set pageNotes to {}
end repeat
set numberOfPages to {}
save theSkimDocumentForSkim
close theSkimDocumentForSkim
return theSkimNotes
end tell
end exportSkimNotes
For anyone wanting to try or use this handler, it should be noted that the
implode handler in my script behaves roughly like the one that can be found

Cheers,
Jan
