Feature Request: Document Tagging / Metadata for Better Organization

[Katy]

Hello,

I would like to suggest a feature that would significantly improve document management in PDF-XChange Editor.

Currently, there is no simple way to assign tags or categories to PDF documents for quick filtering and retrieval. I believe adding a tagging or metadata system would greatly enhance usability, especially for users handling large volumes of documents.

Suggested feature:
• Ability to assign one or multiple tags to a document (e.g., year_end, client_name, expense_type)
• Ability to search and filter documents based on these tags
• Ideally, tags could be stored within the PDF metadata or managed by the application

Use case:
I work in accounting and handle documents for multiple clients. At year-end, I need to quickly identify specific documents (for example, those to be sent to an accountant). Currently, this requires duplicating files or modifying file names, which is not ideal.

A tagging system would provide a much cleaner and more efficient workflow.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Hi Katy,

You can indeed do that using document metadata:
