This script adds highlight annotations from a selected Kindle MyClippings record.
Note: It does not check whether annotations exist. Run it only one time.
Properties
- property
theHighlightColorIndex
: Index of the highlight color.
See Preferences > Colors > Highlighting
- property
theDelimiter
: Start of a clipping’s last line. Change this to your language
To try the script:
- create a test database
- duplicate your MyClippings record and the PDFs
- close the database that contains the original PDFs
- select duplicated MyClippings record
- run script one time
-- Add PDF highlight annotations from Kindle MyClippings
-- Note: This script adds annotations. It does not check whether annotations exist. Run it only one time.
use AppleScript version "2.4"
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "Quartz"
