Generic pdf annotators

[harinisri2001]

Hi @davidmezzetti ,

I checked out your annotateai project, but it involves multiple LLM calls. So i started alternates which doesnt involves llm calls. Is it possible to achieve what annotateai does, but without using LLM calls?

I started exploring txtmarker. So, we're using a list of predefined highlights to search through the extracted content from the PDF, right? Do you have any suggestions for generic PDF annotations instead of predefining it?

This project is purely a programming library. It takes annotations and highlights them. Something else would need to figure out how to decide what to highlight. But if you had that, then txtmarker can work in that capacity.

You could for example build a rules/logic engine that goes through a series of steps to decide how to highlight content. Or it could be a text index match. Lots of different options.
