When using Skim
I can export any kind of pdf annotations, including highlighted text, to a file.
Is it possible to do the same thing with pdf-tools
in Emacs?

I don't know if it is possible with pdf-tools
, but it is possible with org-noter
(https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter).
Here is a little demonstration:
You call org-noter
in the pdf buffer. Then use the org-noter-create-skeleton
function to exoprt the highlights to the org-noter notes file.
org-noter-create-skeleton
I receive the message that this command is only possible with pdf-tools
.

. It asks for a pdf. I used a pdf with my highlighted annotations but the answer waswrong type argument
. Nevertheless I think the answer to my question may be in this blog post. – sbac Jul 21 '16 at 15:33
