This add-on is awesome!
I would be eternally grateful if it could be used to search PDFs. I regularly rely on multiple textbooks that I find myself parsing to better understand the pre-built anki deck I am studying from. I make 50+ searches per day through PDFs and being able to highlight the text in an anki card and then have the find command in adobe reader prefilled with my search term would be ABSOLUTE MAGIC.
Can you please create this functionality as a commented part of the code with a prefilled path such as:
/Users/JohnDoe/Downloads/Textbook.pdf
Having this would be AMAZING. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! Thanks for the great feedback. I agree that PDF look-ups would be really cool, but it's difficult to implement as there is no canonical way to instruct PDF readers to look up a specific search term. Still, this idea is cool enough to warrant looking into, so I've added it to my to-do list: https://github.com/glutanimate/anki-addons-misc/issues/92

Works great!
Here's the UpToDate search line: ("UpToDate", u"https://www.uptodate.com/contents/search?search=%s"), and the Pubmed Search line: ("Pubmed", u"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=%s"),
