I’ve had a couple comments from people mentioning they couldn’t get this to work with Foxit. I haven’t checked out newer versions, but it definitely works on the version I have installed (from 2010) 4.3.0.1110.

Also, GoodReader has been enhanced so you no longer need to highlight + copy/paste text. Simply highlight and you can click a button to get a new summarized PDF with just the highlights.

Comment on MindStream – NeuroSky EEG Data Streamer by JA

Directions on how to output data to a file using Mac:
1. Open terminal, cd ~/ericblue-MindStream-e3ae354
2. Enter java -Djava.ext.dirs=lib -jar dist/mindstream.jar as given in the README file
3. In terminal, it prints “loading prefs…”
3. The mindstreamsystemtray icon will open at the top of the screen, click on it and select “Connect to ThinkGear Socket”. In terminal, it prints “Starting new connection…”
4. To start collecting data directly to file, click again on the systemtray icon and select “MindStream” and “Save (File)”
5. The data will printout in the open terminal window as it saves each line (sample) of data to the file. The file saves in directory /Users/computername/mindstream.csv by default, but you can change this by clicking on the systemtray icon and selecting “Preferences”. I changed my data output to a different file location and I output to a .txt file so I can import it into Matlab, instead of .csv.

Note: I do get a JSON Error (JSONObject["poorSignalLevel"] not found.) notice because when you have a good connection the poor signal level measurement value is 0. It is a little annoying but I am sure you can turn off the notification somewhere in the code.

Hope this helps! ^_^ Happy recording!

You know… I was also looking for a way to export my highlighted text from pdf books to a new document but ..
It seems there is no way to do it. I mean I cant find it.
So then my conclusion is .. that all those fancy Pdf software like acrobat is useless.
I say again.. All those software is useless.

What goal have those programs if you cant even summarize and export your highlighted text?
Well nothing….

Thanks for the topic.
That really WAS useful.

[...] The following embedded document browser was actually fairly straight forward to make. In a nutshell, the viewer takes a PDF file that is converted to Flash (using SWFTools – pdf2swf), and then uses an open source flash viewer called FlexPaper to help with navigation. LINK [...]

Thank you, sacco!!

This was excellent help.

I was not able to do this with FoxitReader. Instead I ran into the same trouble Koen described about a year ago.

I still do not understand, why the author of this article would not reply to the posts. It seems to offer such valuable advice, but really is worthless without great comments (->sacco).

Thanks again!
