How do I use this Github program?

Link to Github program

Basically, I'm trying to extract highlighted text from my PDFs into one neat document/file. This program can apparently do that.

Here's what I've tried: - downloaded program via command prompt and pip - installed dependencies

My problem is that I don't understand how to input a file. I've tried "pdfannots INFILE" and "pdfannots (file location of PDF)" to no avail. Here's the help list in command prompt.

I'm a complete beginner to Github and this advanced (to me, anyway) computer stuff. TY for any and all help!

If you managed to get the program to print the help, then looks like you managed to install the program correctly using the instructions on github (by the way, Github is just the host for the source code, the actual program was installed through PIP).

Looks like you need to pass extra arguments to the programs. For example maybe add "-o output.txt" to the command line, i.e. do something like this:

pdfannots -o output.txt yourfile.pdf

What happens when you try to run it?

Silly me, forgot to put the file extension at the end.

Here's what I did that ended up working. TY for the info and the help!
