Extract annotations and regular text separately?

[hellpanderrr]

Hi.
I am wondering if it is possible to extract text items using Page.get_text() or something similar, while excluding text from annotations?
I got some PDFs where annotations were used to cover up the old values with revised ones, so I need a way to differentiate them. Currently -- if I understand it correctly -- the annotations' content gets duplicated, i.e. output of [i.info['content'] for i in page.annots()] is contained within page.get_text().

There is a rather hacky way

1. Extract annotation text
2. Remove annotations
3. Extract remaining page text

To remove annotations,

# do either this:
a = page.first_annot
while a:
    a = page.delete_annot(a)

# or this:
doc.xref_set_key(page.xref, "Annots", "null")

This will not change the document permanently if you don't save. Doing doc.close();doc=fitz.open(doc.name) will recycle the document in original state.
