ghligh uses JSON as the format to store highlights from PDF files. It uniquely identifies each PDF by calculating its hash, ensuring it can accurately track and import highlights associated with the correct file.

dependencies

install poppler-glib and cairo (for Debian/Ubuntu):

	apt-get install libpoppler-glib-dev libcairo2-dev

usage

ghligh consist of subcommands:

• import import document highlights stored in JSON files into pdf documents
• export export documents' highlights inside a JSON
• cat print documents' highlights
• ls given a set of files/directories show the pdf that contains highlights

	ghligh export --from file1.pdf --from file2.pdf --to highlighs.json
	ghligh import --from highlights.json --to file1.pdf --to file2.pdf

	ghligh cat file1.pdf file2.pdf
	ghligh ls
	ghligh ls ./economy-books

todo

• create a struct of flags to be set for export / import [ ]
• instead of importedAnnotMaps use syncedAM struct [ ]
• single entry for each document hash when exporting [ ]
