1. A computer-implemented method for synchronizing annotations between a printed document and an electronic document, the method comprising:
receiving, at a server, an image of a printed document portion having a printed text portion, wherein the printed document portion includes an annotation in proximity to the printed text portion; accessing at least a portion of the electronic document from a memory device, wherein the electronic document comprises an electronic version of the printed document; identifying an electronic text portion within the electronic document that corresponds to the printed text portion; detecting the annotation in the printed document portion; facilitating insertion of a digital annotation into at least one of the electronic document and a copy of the electronic document, the digital annotation corresponding to the detected annotation, wherein the digital annotation is inserted in proximity to the identified electronic text portion at a location that at least substantially corresponds to a location of the detected annotation in the printed document portion; identifying an additional digital annotation in the electronic document; determining, by analyzing the image of the printed document portion, that the printed document portion does not include an additional annotation corresponding to the additional digital annotation; determining whether the additional digital annotation is a migrated annotation or a direct digital annotation, wherein a migrated annotation is an annotation inserted during a synchronization process to correspond to an annotation in a printed document, and wherein a direct digital annotation is an annotation added directly to an electronic document by a reader; and removing the additional digital annotation from the electronic document if the additional digital annotation is a migrated annotation, wherein the additional digital annotation is not removed if the additional digital annotation is a direct digital annotation. |
