Re: Extracting comments from PDF files

Yes, I do know that PDF::Extract can the author, creation date and
other information but it is not capable of extracting the "comments"
section. By the "comments" section, I mean that part of the PDF file
where you see the hand like symbol and the note nearby popping up like
a tooltip? It is akin to the comments in a Microsoft Word document.

I also know that once I can get this information, I can write the
information to an XML file. So, my question is how I could extract the
comment information. I could use XML::Writer provided I can extract the
data.

Could you please think of anyway of extracting this 'comment' part?

Thanks,
Vince
