How can I annotate a PDF on a Mac, and search by the annotations in Dropbox on iOS?

So, I have a handwritten journal, and I scanned it. Now it's a 45 page PDF. I want to annotate the PDF on my Mac (or my iPad), dump the file in Dropbox, and then be able to search by the annotations via an iOS device. So if I annotate a page as "Meeting with Nick - October 10, 2013", I want to be able to search (within Dropbox on an iOS device) and find that page later. I want to be able to search for "Nick" and it will bring up that page, and any other page where I annotated with the word Nick.
Whew. Make sense? I'm hoping to avoid Adobe Acrobat Pro, if possible. Annotations that I make in Preview don't seem to show up when I view the PDF in Dropbox. Got any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use Adobe Reader XI for that. Not sure you can search for annotations, but worth a try.  Free.
I've done some tests with Adobe reader, but I don't see it working. I can make annotations in Reader (or in Acrobat or in Preview) but when I save the new file, and try to view it using a program like Dropbox, the annotations are not displayed, nor are they searchable..

  • How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files.  To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
    Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
    Then copy
    Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
    Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
    It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

  • How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you aware it only syncs iMessages. Also once enabled only new messages will sync, try messaging the user from the Mac and see if that gets things going for you.

  • How can i extract a person from a picture and then animate the person

    how can i extract a person from a picture and then animate the person

    Basically you select the person using the various selection tools, copy the selection to the clipboard, and paste the selection onto the destination picture. Then use the Move tool to resize/reposition the person as necessary. Here is a tutorial demonstrating this as well as some advanced techniques.

  • How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time?

    How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time so I don't have to do it separately on each device?

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

  • How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

    Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
    Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
    Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
    (By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
    3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
    By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.

    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

  • How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

    There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
    I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
    I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
    Is there anything like that for Macs?
    Whether it be some where on the computer already?
    Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?

  • How can I open a PDF stored in IXOS and then display it in a BSP

    Hello gurus,
    I have created a PDF icon and an onclick action to open a pdf, that displays on every row of an assignment block in the actions column, but I do not know the technical process to determine how to get a PDF from the IXOS system from the line selected. (even if I know it depends on an ID attribute of that assignment block) I want to to call a transaction launcher with the url for the pdf in the IXOS that has an ID that identifies which line in the assignment block the user has clicked the pdf icon for (does that make sense?)
    Therefore, I am assuming the PDF should correspond to the relance ID of the row in the assignment block, but I would like more information as per the business logic involved in able to achieve the desired results for this particular specification. I already confirmed that the XURL or any other attribute in the BOL object does not contain the URL to use for this. I have looked at the class I was told that it may contain the required business logic for determining which PDF in IXOS to fetch for a particular row, and I am currently trying to reverse engineer the logic through looking at other code and using the debugger, but so far I haven'T had much luck.
    Here are some questions I have now for the functional side in the meantime:
    1) Can we fetch the PDF in IXOS for each line of an assignment block?
    2) Which URL should I call with the transaction launcher? a URL link to the PDF on the IXOS system??
    3) Do we have to configure a transaction in the IMG to be launched?
    4) Do we have to create a logical link there that I will make dynamic to call the right PDF for each table line? 
    5) Are there any existing examples of this or a similar functionality/ logic that I could refer to, preferably in CRM 7 WebUI?
    6) Do you have any code to just display a PDF in a new window? Or prompt a download?
    One possible way I thought of would be for me to have a logical link defined in the IMG, that I could call passing it different attributes (eg. some object id, etc) and then return the PDF and display it in the UI in a new browser window by itself. Alternatively, we can just prompt a download. What do you think would be the optimal behaviour here?
    Please do not hesitate to propose any potential solution. Any partial answers/ links to wikis/ other threads, anything would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Jonathan Laplante

    Hi,
    I partially answered your question in another posting but I feel that you´re in the wrong forum for your problem. This is for BSP development and you talk about CRM.

  • How can I save a PDF I have created after typing in the text box

    I recently created a PDF document and put in several text boxes.
    I am able to type in these locations now, but I am for some reason unable to save the document after I have typed in the text box.
    How can I change the form so that I will be able to save the document after I have made changes?

    print to PDF. make a new one..  That worked for me after filling in a form.
