I recently found out that PDF.js is adding full annotation editing support to the library, which can be tracked here: PDF.js editing. I think this could be a great opportunity to push forward the fragment selector for PDFs to try to integrate it with PDF.js.
I also opened an issue in PDF.js to ask if it would be possible to save annotations outside the PDF in JSON format following the Web Annotation Data Model, in addition to the native PDF annotation format inside the PDF.
Hopefully both projects can collaborate on this to move forward Web Annotation Data Model and enable interoperable annotation tools. Fingers crossed!
