Automate Your Editorial Pipeline

Building a custom collaboration platform? You need granular access to document annotations. Our JSON Export treats PDF comments as structured data objects, not just text.

Schema Overview:

Content: The actual body of the sticky note.
Metadata: Author name, ISO-8601 timestamps, and unique IDs.
Position: Page index and X/Y coordinates.

Use this to ingest legacy PDF feedback into modern Content Management Systems (CMS) or run Sentiment Analysis on reviewer comments using Python scripts.
