Gah, why is it so hard to extract content from Apple .pages files? I’ve stupidly written a lot (β‰ˆ135) of course video timelines (basically a listing of timestamps) in #pages which I then put in a Dropbox as PDFs. Now thinking I should probably put them up on a website but of course it’s not easy to programatically extract the data. Doh!

@neil I’ll give it a go, but I don’t think it supports Pages. It may work on the PDFs but I may have to resort to running AppleScript!

@neil I’m just discovering this - LibreOffice will open Pages docs (yay!) and I can use the command line to convert to ODT and then pandoc to markdown.

@neil I’ve found a pdf2md tool which might work! https://www.npmjs.com/package/@opendocsg/pdf2md
