por Maddy, hace 2 añosI would really love this add-on if highlighting would also work in PDFs. I want to use it mainly for scientific research to faster identify relevant papers. The automatic and very fine tunable keyword highlighting combined with the view on the right hand side showing where the highlights are is EXACTLY what I am looking for. Maybe I missed the relevant setting but changing to highlight in every page did not fix it.
Adding the PDF functionality would make it a really powerful tool for a (maybe almost every) researcher. Please, please add this!
P.S. I tried to find another way of contacting you but this is the only way I could find.

publicado el hace 2 añosHello,
Sadly, browsers doesn't allow extensions to run in the PDF files anymore, more info:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1454760
Theoretically, it should work if you would use some online PDF viewer.
But I've just tried a few and none of them worked as expected. Seems like they use "canvas" to render the content so my extension can't access the words there.
But it does work in the Mozilla online PDF viewer demo, so it should be possible:
https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html
I wish I had more time for experiments, but sadly I'm currently quite busy with my other extensions. I'll put it on my todo list so when I start working on a new version, I look into it.
Regarding contact to me, you can write me email here: admin@fastaddons.com
Best Regards,
