Searching for comments and notes

Post by philipw2 »

I like to add notes at the crucial part of a document with key words that really get at the essence of a document and make it easier to find. But somehow the search facility in PDF-Xchange Viewer won't find my comment, nor does the windows search---I have XP.

I have tried both the note function and the typewriter function, which I love.

Any suggestions appreciated.

try to use Archivarius 3000, I suggested indexing of notes (typewriter, text box tool, ...) and they added it promptly. It is an excellent feature cause I use tags (followed by notes) like mynote, mystop, mytodo in the pdf files and then I'm quickly able to find/see my notes inside 1000nds of pdf files :)

A year later, I now have Build 44 and I am still unable to search my comments, typewriter inserts, text box tools etc.

I have loads of 80-100 page PDFs. Being able to insert a flag, say QED, at a crucial point and search for that would make PDF-Xchange so much more useful.

PLEASE PLEASE can I have it?

did you tick "include comments" in the search options?

As 'quant' said (and thanks for jumping in) - if they are still an issue - please ZIP and attach a small example showing the issue.

Thanks
