I share your pain, as far as working with PDFs is concerned, and I do like your idea of importing as image files - that's something I hadn't considered. But there a few other things I need to implement before I even start thinking about PDF handling, so it's not likely to happen soon. However, I'll leave this issue open for a while to remind myself.

hello dear Luolian I have a great suggestion for your addons well, my biggest problem with using this addon is its weakness to import pdf files. well, i think if you add a code to convert a pdf file as a picture for each page and store each page in a new card, most important problem to read pdf files will be solved. you can ask users how they want to import their pdf pages? on a4 size or custom size. when they click for example a4 size, a new card will be created wit for example 28 lines with numbers and a picture will insert next to numbers. as bellow: 1 ( 2 picture 3
... ) each time the users want to highlight that line, they can highlight the number of each line in the card. or they can put some sign on that line if they want to delete or ignore the line for next review. according to the numbers of pdf pages, each card can have a specific number to find them in the Anki's browser. by browsing the Anki, they can merge some cards that are linked together and see the whole part in one card. by this add-on, we can import our pdf files in other languages that OCR technology are not supported in those languages, or we can use the whole pdf files that can not convert to the text line. so we can use incremental reading for almost every texts that are in the web and text files, or those that are in the pdf files. thank you.
