rmanns (remove annotations) - a small wrapper around pdftk for removing annotations from the pdf e-books downloaded from the popular web sites, such as www.it-ebooks.info and www.allitebooks.com.

Always before i buy book i download it from the internet and read the samples, for quality assessment. If I like the book - I buy it, if not, I do not buy it. Yeah, maybe it's not cool, but i don't want pay for bad books. The problems with books from the internets is annotations (red annotations is really irritable). This script is solve this problem.

As i say above, this script is just a wrapper around pdftk and it's mean that you should install pdftk:

➜ sudo apt update
➜ sudo apt install pdftk

Now you can use this script. You should move all your books with annotations to one folder and run script:

➜ python3 rmanns.py

Are you sure? [y/n]: y
Annotations removed from file: Learning_Python.pdf.
Annotations removed from file: Introducing_Data_Science.pdf.

Annotation will be deleted from all files that are in the current directory.

You can simply add alias for this script to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file:

alias rmanns="python3 ~/.rmanns.py"

I do not encourage illegal use of content. This tool is aimed only for a convenient evaluation of the book, nothing more. I recommend that you buy books that you like. So you support your favorite author and motivate him to improve the book.
