How do I add a text description to a PDF file

I want to add some text descriptions to my PDF files that later I can use as "search criteria". Is there something I can use other than the "file name" ? I would like to use short file names and append a longer text description to the file so I can search for files using the "text description" as search criteria.

How can I correct "hidden" text in a searchable PDF file?

This seems like a simple question. However, the answers are invariably complex, do not yield the desired result, and often answer a different question entirely. I say all that just to warn people up front that the "problem" is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, typically understand it while the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total...well, botch is a reasonable word if a bit understated.
Here is the actual problem:
I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and running them through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files in order to archive, index, and eventually enable searching for the documents scanned. A "searchable" PDF satisfies those criteria better than any other commonly used, "portable" archive format -- though I would be happy if someone could point out an obvious alternative I may have overlooked. I do not need perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or perhaps feed into a spreadsheet or database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" PDF file to OCR and convert the contents to Word, RTF, Excel, or another file format as necessary with more care for the results than for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is the scanned page images which compose it while the OCR generated "searchable" text is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain scanned page images of sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and legible enough for whoever views the images to be able to work out what an OCR process may fail to understand. Once scanned, those pages are the "document" and therefore "immutable." However, OCR is imperfect. For a searchable document archive, it does not have to be, but some errors are significant in that they may prevent the document from being found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, edit the "hidden" text in a "searchable" PDF without altering the visual display of a document or how it is printed. No strike-throughs. No visible "corrections." None of the stuff PDF editors want to insert into a PDF file when editing it. I do not want to edit the document without exporting it to a format appropriate for an editable document. I just want adequately "correct" hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file.
I apologize for the length and redundancy in my description of the problem. However, past attempts to explain my problem and objectives as well as what I have seen in reply to similar queries across the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question come at it from the same point of view shared by most, if not all, PDF tool or application vendors. They seem to think that any desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF word processor of some sort. Or, they assume that the OCR process employed may need tweaking of the means by which people apply it and then a process like "find suspects" is adequate to deal with any errors. But no, those are not what I am trying to accomplish and answers which address those topics do not answer this question.
In short, which tool or application from any vendor will reveal the "searchable" hidden text in a PDF produced by any OCR or other process and then enable corrections to the hidden text without changing any document display parameters at all? Note, hidden text typically includes bounding box information denoting the portion of the image from which the text was recognized. That information must not be lost or changed when editing the "searchable" text.
So, any tools or applications capable of doing this? If Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can (use of a trial copy demonstrated that the hidden text content can be reviewed, but editing did not work by any straight-forward means I could work out while trying out the application), fine. However, $500.00 list or even a $200.00 possible upgrade from a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard which came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when review and edit of the OCR generated hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file is the only function I require. Therefore, other suggested tools or applications which do what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.

My "claim"? Actually I've made no "claim" such as you've mentioned.
Simply stated your OP has foundational premises that presume as factual what is not.
Here, we're in Adobe's hosted user forum for Acrobat.
Any other application use is not material.
Acrobat XI provides 3 OCR methods.
Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact) & ClearScan.
Only the first two provide the "hidden" text output.
(Glyphs have no stroke, no fill)
From back to the Acrobat 3 product family the design functionality of Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) has been to facilitate the use of Find / Search.
The "hidden" text is can be touched up. Acrobat Pro provides the facility to view the hidden text.
So you can see what the OCR output that correlates to the bit-map images of the characters that are present.
With Acrobat XI Pro use Tools - Protection -Remove Hidden Information
In the Remove Hidden Information pane select "Hidden text" then "Show preview".
The default for the preview is "Show Only Hidden Text".
Back in the PDF --
You'd select some of the hidden text and retype what you suspect is the correct string of characters.
Save and return to the preview of the hidden text.
If you got it right, good. Continue.
If not, darn - try again.
Plug 'n chug -- somewhere over the rainbow it'll be done eh.
Full disclosure -- this is something I've done (enquiring minds don't you know).
I've found it to be a rather Sisypean undertaking.
So, "doable" but not practicable.
This is to be expected because such touchups are not the concern / focus of the output from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) - (the names tell it all).
To have touchup "editablity" of an OCR output using Acrobat make use of ClearScan.
ClearScan replaces recognized character bit-maps with a character from an Acrobat internal font.
The character strings can be selected to change to a generic, system available font.
Something that is good to know when embarking on the "tweak the PDF" journey is that PDF (the file format / technology as defined by its ISO Standard, ISO 32000-1) does not tolerate "editing". PDF is decidely not a word processor file format and "editing" can quickly render a PDF unusable.
Minor touchups can be made and your best "tool" for this is still Acrobat Pro. (Save As often and periodically "bank" the PDF via some file rename scheme.)
Be well...

How can i add or create Layers into existing PDF File

How can i create or add new Layers into new or existing PDF file using DLE JAVA API (Datalogics API)

sandyrock,
The PDFL, as Adobe distributes it, only has a C/C++ interface.
The JNI APIs are developed and supported by Datalogics, the company you licensed your copy of the PDFL from. Have you contacted them? Support for their API extensions to the PDFL should be included with your licensing fee and they have many tips and ready-made examples specific to their API extensions they could give you.

Since I joined (and upgraded) to the Adobe on-line subscription, I can no longer view a pdf file with thumbnails of all the pages and can no longer drag or move the pages around as I had done in the older version. Can you please help? Also, when you convert a pdf file to ppt, the formatting changes and not very useable.

How to add digital Signature Field in cfdocument pdf files?

Hi,
We are generating pdf files using cfdocument to populate values and wondering how we can add digital signature field in those pdf files. Any help or comments would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
hismail786

Hi,
Yes, we have options to add digital signature to the pdf. We have one attribute called "Permissions" in "cfpdf" tag. If we provide permissions = 'AllowSecure', then system would allow digital signature for that pdf.
Please go though the docs for details info. I will post in details next.

like so:

How do I add the same description to multiple photos in the new photos app

How do I add the same description to multiple photos? I could do this in iPhoto but I do not see a way to do it in Photos for OS X. This is a handy feature to have.

This link asks the same question, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6994338?searchText=How%20do%20I%20add%20a%2 0description%20to%20multiple%20photos?
Someone shows the method to use AppleScript/ Automator to make Photos add the same description to multiple photos. I just opened up AppleScript editor and poked around the Dictionary for Photos and saw we have access to GPS longitude,latitude and altitude. So by using a third party app/web page to get those values, an Apple Script could be used to batch add the info to selected photos. That being said, I'm really busy these days and lack time to write scripts and migrate to photos.

How do I add vertical text in a cell

How can I add vertical text within a cell. In Ecel it is easy as pie but I can't seem to find a quick fix in "numbers"?

Rotation of text in a table cell is not supported in Numbers.
The most often recommended workarouns is to use a floating text box. Rotate the box 90° (or other desired value), make sure that Wrap is set to 'none', then place the text box in front of the cell.
For other suggestions, see some of the posts in the "more like this" list to the right.
Step 2 is to make a request to Apple that this feature be added. Go to the Numbers menu in Numbers, choose Provide Numbers Feedback (or use the link), make your request that this feature be added to future versions of Numbers.

How do you add plain text?

Hi all!
I have a very simple question, which is just what it says in the subject line of this topic.
How do I add plain text into iMovie? No fades, no slides, no nothing, just plain text?
From what I've been searching online, no one has answered this question, but then again, no one has asked it either.
All I could find was 1 yahoo thread with the question in which the answer was not clear at all.
I've been trying to find it myself by snooping around in iMovie, but as you might guess, unsuccessfully.
From snooping around I've come to draw the conclusion that you probably can't add plain text into iMovie via iMovie directly.
However, and idea I had was, if I create an image in, lets say Paint 2, with whatever plain text I want to add, and then insert it into the project. Will this have the same effect?
Can anyone please confirm this? I'm going crazy just looking for such a simple feature hehehe.
Thank you in advance!

hmm, well ... a video isn't meant for reading (resolution, compression, blabla). ...
so 'text' in a video should be very large in font, avoid tiny details, too much contrasts ... blabla again
Advice using the Title-feature as 'text' isn't wrong.
plus, iMovie is no text-processor, you copy/paste larger amounts of letters into it.
If you need/want 'a page full of text' in iMovie, indeed you have to do the roundtrip by creating a 'picture' of your text-page, and insert that jpg to your Project.
The good news:
if your 'picture (=text page) is longer than the video screen, you can apply a nice Ken Burns effect to 'scroll' through the text ... in case, your audience reads as fast as you.
bad news: max is 5:1 ratio of the 'page' ... so, no 'books' please ...
Aside Star Wars ("... in a galaxy far, far away from here"), you should avoid 'text' longer than a usual title.
(this answer/workaround isn't in the 'canned' replies of our hosts, you should forgive'em ... )

How do you add subtitles/text to a video?

How do you add subtitles/text to a video? Is it even possible? I'm working on a video with interviews and I want to write what they are saying underneath.

Take a look at the Ticker Tape title.
Also, you can use any Lower Third title. For subtitles, use the second line of the Title, or set the first line so that the Font size is the same as the second.

How do you add a directory to a manifest.mf file, andf in what order.

How do you add a directory to a manifest.mf file in a JAR file, andf in what order.
I know how to set a classs files and file class's & Main Class's not a problem, but how about a directory/folder.
The Directory/folder contains class's. My prog can run the class's from a Jlist, as long as I set the classpath directly by control panel user varaibles manully or by a Bat file running in the back ground.
any crazy ideas I'll excecpt and give a bloody good try.
I tried.
Class-Path: C:/bb/
Class-Path:C/bb
Class-Payh:bb
Class-Path:bb/
Class-Path: \bb\
Class-Path:bb\ Not to sure if I've tried this, ttto many beers cans drunk at this stage.
Friday night is beer night.
WHAT am I doing wrong, or doing that can't be done with a JManifestMF file.
Maybe Wrapper, and not the type that turn decks, and look at very low cameras while singing.

If I open Font Book, and choose named font, I can see a list of symbols, e.g.
If I open Character Viewer, and switch to Pictographs, I can see something like this
so I assume that named font includes chars in the category Pictographs, which you can use at ease, I hope.
If you need them frequently, you may create your custom keyboard layout, if you wish this, come back with what you wish.
Screenshots are in Lion, but the procedure is the same, I hope.
