in reply to Read highlighted text from PDF

> Any ideas?

I suppose there are multiple ways to have an "highlighted text" effect in PDF.

If it's achieved by changing the font-number, you may want to try pdftohtml -xml and check if it shows in the output.

Otherwise no idea ... good luck if its done with a colored overlay.
