Create linked notes

[Davide78]

Hi, is it possible to create notes connected to each other, obviously in different parts of the document, so that you can jump from one to another?
Thanks in advance

P.S.: Is it possible to have already flagged "Notify me when a reply is posted"?

Hello, Davide78

I am afraid that it is not possible to have comments linked in such a way. You could create link objects on the page alongside base text content to quickly open bookmarks and navigate around, but comments themselves cannot currently contain links like this.

As for your question about notify when a reply is posted. Yes, this can be configured from the user preferences on the forums:

Hello Davide78,

Perhaps you would like to do something similar to what is requested in the following topic, but it does not seem likely to be implemented at this time.

how about this.

say add a note1 in page1, and add a "nameddest1" near it.
then
add a note2 in page2, and add a "nameddest2" near it.

then, somewhere near note1, add a hyperlink.
it seems the boundary for the hyperlink could overlap /w the note1.
and this hyperlink set to reach nameddest2.

vice versa.

practically bi-linked.

but very time consuming

I like the term "bi-linked". Did you, krstoevan, coin this or is it an established term of art? Much better than reciprocally linked or variants.

Whatever it is called, Tracker Folk, we look forward to the day when that can be done with a one-click PDF-XCE function.

Hi PHK and others,

Thanks for the input - we will keep this under consideration and let you know if there are any developments.

the app "obsidian" is build on the idea of bi linking.
you could dig out more yourself.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I will read them in the future because I can't devote myself to the subject now

Thanks for the replies!

hi, see my latest post on links using URI

i think we can now use it even for links like C:\xx or URI links like //server//path/file

since pdf xce could fire up links like onenote, mindmanager, i believe obsidian is also possible.

linking back to pdf xce is more troublsome, i'll use nameddest for this.

ps:
i have long been able to use this feature,
only prohibitied by the bug in v9.1 356.

now in latest version, the bug is gone.

Thank you krstoevan, but i need link between internal pdf documents note....Anyway, I'll read what you told me

i suppose it could be turn into internal links?

say... you disallow multiple instance, then any external link which call using pdfxce will ONLY use a single instance.

i think the supports could tell more on that?

thanks

Hello, krstoevan

I am not quite sure what it is you are meaning to ask here, but I can confirm that in the preferences (Ctrl_K) under "general > setup" we do offer a "single document mode" which would lock the software to only having one frame, with a single file in it, if that was the desire.

Kind regards,

I'm not either, but I wonder if the following might help.

And that is to rename the Subject portion of the individual Comments to establish the differentiation criteria.

So, if you create a comment on a page such as "A" on page 1, "B" on page 2, "A" on page 3 like this:

image.png

and then change the Subject of the individual Comments to the text of the Comments respecitvely and take the display option of Group by Subject like this:

image(1).png

you will get something like this:

image(2).png

Now, you will have all the "A"s together in the Comments panel and all the "B"s together.

Is that the sort of thing you are looking for?

The problem, it seems to me, is that it is hard for the average user to appreciate the power of Comments because the default is to fill in the Subject line, not with the true subject, but rather with the type of Comment it is. To rename the subject of Comments more appropriately, greatly increases the usefulness of Comments. Personally, I would think it better if the app entered nothing at all in the Subject line of Commands than to put in the Comment type. That might stimulate the imagination to enter something more appropriate.

The user can always Group by Type if that is meritted at the time.

Hello, PHK

Given the lack of reply, I can only hope that this helped, and they are enjoying the software at this point. Thank you, PHK, for the ideas here!

Kind regards,
