From the "Scripting Qiqqa" Project Notes:

Enable scripts / external tasks to:

• [ ] decrypt PDF's so they become easily viewable in Qiqqa (electronic datasheets, f.e.)
• [ ] remove ugly zero-value-adding banner pages from PDFs and link those to the original PDF (again, electronic datasheets...)
• [ ] process PDF OCR info to automatically extract/guestimate BibTeX, including abstracts (electronic datasheets, sigh)
• [ ] go through a set of PDFs or an entire library to analyze the metadata and tag documents or augment BibTeX to enable the user to find and work on damaged (or otherwise low quality) PDFs
• [ ] go through a selected set or entire library to tag those documents which match or fail user-customizable criteria. (damaged pages, OCR failures, but also language detection and flagging for translation required
• [ ] providing a translated second text stream for a foreign language PDF (Chinese, f.e., as I don't speak/read that language)

Further "Scripting Qiqqa" Project Notes on this:

Allow both read and write I/O between Qiqqa and the scripts: the easiest way to accomplish that is probably running a tiny embedded web server in Qiqqa: NodeJS/JavaScript is geared towards this already.
