@stefnestor hey, stefnestor, In mac, pdf files are not opened using the ibook app. The pdf file is opened using the preview
app.The ibook app add book info data at database. but annotation not save.
BTW, On macOS, PDF annotation data in the preview app is stored in the PDF file. you can use :
strings xxxx.pdf | grep Annots
π @bingryan, I appreciate your more Obsidian-direct automation of the ibooks_notes_exporter tool, cheers!
Request
I've been trying to figure why my iBook PDFs won't export via your tool. (Normal iBooks seem to work just fine.)
π Would you mind reviewing if your tool works for exporting PDFs? And if not, will you kindly consider the feature request? If not able, will you kindly consider filtering out PDFs from your search since they won't work as a bug?
I'll go through manual scripting if needed as an alternative to munach/obsidian-extract-pdf-annotations and/or akaalias/obsidian-extract-pdf-highlights in order to customize back to the formatting you've defined which I prefer if expanding to include PDFs ends up not being within scope. TIA!
Example
Playing forward troubleshooting steps from #49, I checked
ibook: export by search
for "how to make a complete" shows my PDF title and submitting does not DevTool console error
