Search Notes in PDF

Is there a way to identify where notes are placed in a pdf?  Using new version on iPad and I made notes on 10 pages of a 200 page doc.  I want to send to another person but I do not know if there is an easy way for them to see my notes. 
is there a place they can see what pages notes are on?

On the desktop Reader, you can still find the Comment List. It's moved though in Reader X (desktop). On the desktop Reader X, you should see the workd "Comment" in the upper right (next to Tools and Sign). If you click on that, you should get the Comment List. See the attached image.
You are right, for the particular document you have (many comments spread throughout a large document), not having this feature makes viewing the comments difficult. This is something we've considered for the mobile Reader but haven't implemented. We chose to get basic commenting working well first.

  • SharePoint FAST Search 2010 not returning pdf files in search results

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why FAST Search 2010 is not returning pdf files in the results page.
    I'd checked the crawl log and the total files crawled indicates that the pdf file is picked up by the crawl.
    Thanks,
    Leon

    could you please make sure the PDF ifilter is properly configured? did you perform full crawl?

  • Preview glitch when searching for words on page and when using text tools to write comments/notes on .pdf slides, why?

    When using Preview to access my class notes as .pdf files, I have encountered extremely frustrating glitches when trying to search for specific words or phrases within the .pdf files and when trying to use 'text tools' to write notes on the .pdf slides.  Preview did not behave in this manor with Mountain Lion OS.  This seems to correlate with my recent upgrade to Mavericks OS.
    When using the search function you should be able to type in any number of letters or words and press enter to continually cycle through the highlighted findings that match what you have typed in.  Instead it now, typically, stops tracking what I type in after about 3-4 letters and the yellow highlight turns grey.  Once it does this if you try to press enter to cycle through what it has found it no longer cycles.  It never did this in Mountain Lion using the very same .pdf files I had previously used in the old OS, and it does this despite there being multiple matches for what I am searching.
    When clicking 'show edit tool bar' button and then 'text tools' button to be able to free text notes on the .pdf file I have to exit out of the 'text tools' mode to be able to advance to the next page.  This is extremely inconveneint and, again, Preview did not do this in Mountain Lion.
    These are my two major complaints about Preview that I have discovered so far in my short time using it with the new Mavericks OS.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I have this issue too and was pleased to find this thread.  Did either of you find the source of the problem or how to fix it? 
    I've tried using Wondershare PDF Editor as well and wondered that had messed some settings up.  Have either of you used that? 
    If so, how would I revert to a clean version of Preview?
    Hope we can get this sorted. 

  • Can not download PDFs to Safari or Firefox. 27" iMac running 10.8.2. Have disabled two Adobe plug ins per search in community. Did not work. Dowloads fine on other computer (older iMac, 10.6.8). Advice appreciated. Lyman

    New iMac 27" running 10.8.2. Can not dowload PDFs. Have taken two Adobe plugins out of library (as suggested in comments I found last night). Did not fix proglem. Older iMac running 10.6.8 sitting next to new one can download fine. Then have to move downloads to new machine to use them. Thanks for help and suggestions. Lyman

    My own answer. This was solved by a simple restart of the computer. This is the second time in a week that a restart has been needed to resolve "refuseal to work" type problems. I don't recall restarting being a regular fix in earlier OSs.Hope this doesn't become a standard fix as that could be really tedious. Lyman.

  • How to search in a pdf package via command line

    How can I search a specific PDF file within a PDF package via the command line? Previously I have used the following code in VB6 to search a single PDF file successfully.
    acroPath = String(128, " ")        'initialise this string
    resultStatus = FindExecutable(pdfPath, vbNullString, acroPath)
    acroPath = Replace(acroPath, vbNullChar, "")        'Get rid of the null character
    acroPath = """" & Trim$(acroPath) & """"
    cmdLineString = acroPath & " /n /A ""search=" & searchString & """ " & pdfPath
    Call Shell(cmdLineString, vbNormalFocus)
    I now receive this file as part of a PDF package, so how can I amend the command line to search the specific file within the package?
    I only have Reader, not the full blown Acrobat version.

    Sorry forgot to say that I am using Acrobat Reader 8.1 on Win XP SP2

  • How to Search word in PDF?

    Hi,
    I am developing windows application, which will accept PDF file path as input.
    Users are allowed to  search for the specific word in the PDF and replace with new word.
    I don't have any idea on this. So can any one help me to start with.
    how can i search word in PDF and edit the PDF file.
    Thanks,

    PDF is a not a format that enables replacement of textual content, since it doesn't reflow.  You need to discuss with the person that gave you the job how difficult/impossible that it is.

  • Unable to turn on Advanced Search for viewing PDFs (v9.1) through IE7

    Our company is currently using Acrobat 9.1 and Internet Explorer 7.
    We have multiple PDF document sets set up to be searched using index files. The Index feature can only be accessed using the Advanced Search option of Acrobat Reader or Pro 9.1.
    When we access the documents via our internal network, the advanced searching works fine. We can easily set the user's Acrobat Reader (or Writer) to have the Advanced Search option enabled.
    However, if our users try to access these documents via our company's intranet web pages, the Acrobat Reader Interface plug-in (acropdf.dll?) of IE7 is fixed to only use the Basic Search option. Users are only able to search the active PDF.  I have not found a way to enable the the Advanced Search option using the Adobe / IE7 interface.
    Not that long ago, we thought this option was available.
    Is there a way to turn this feature on or at least allow it to be enabled?
    Thanks Much!

    Hello,
    This may be of interest to anyone whose had the Advanced Search Problem (or the mis-linking problem mentioned below) using the current Acrobat Plugin to IE7.
    I think I have found a workaround for this problem (and another we've found). I've been having users test this out over the past couple of weeks and it's working fine.
    Problem #1
    Being unable to use index searching across multiple documents with the Acrobat Reader 9.1 plug-in interface running from within Internet Explorer version 7.0.    This current plug-in interface disallows setting up the Advanced Index Search feature that groups within our company use.
    Problem #2
    Links in PDF A are not properly linking to desired pages (link targets) in PDF B.  Any links in PDF A will only take the user to Page 1 of PDF B.   This occurs when any PDF links to a certain page (other than page 1) in another targeted PDF.
    Solution:
    Set the user's (many users in my case) Acrobat Reader (or Pro) to only open web based PDFs into the stand-alone Acrobat interface using the Accessibility Setup Assistant.
    In Adobe Reader:
         Go to Document | Accessibility Setup Assistant.
         Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
         Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
         Select Done.
         Exit Adobe reader.
    In Adobe Acrobat Pro:
         Go to Advanced | Accessibility | Setup Assistant ...
         Advance through the dialogs to Screen 5 of 5.
         Turn OFF the feature Display PDF documents in web browser.
         Select Done.
    Result:
    Any PDFs embedded in a web page (environment) will open up in a new session of Acrobat (Reader or Pro) on the users desktop.
    Searching via indexes works great and there are no linking problems between PDFs.
    It may not be an optimal solution, but is working fine for our folks that access our files via our company's intranet.
    The only drawback I see is that you lose focus of the IE7 session and have to work outside of it's containment.  Although it is easy to set it back to the way it worked previously.
    If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know.  I'm open to any improvements we can make to our process.
    Thanks!

  • Windows Explorer Search problems for PDF's - Windows 7 - Acrobat 10.x and 11.x

    Hello,
    If this is in the wrong forum please move it.
    I work in an enterprise environment and our systems are having trouble searching file contents in Windows Explorer using Acrobat X and Windows 7 32 bit. The files are on a mapped network location.
    After removing all adobe products from a test machine and reinstalling the Acrobat 10.0.0 software the windows explorer search function seems to work locally but once I install Acrobat 10.1.anything update, it will fail. It never worked on a networked location.
    I have also tried installing Adobe Acrobat 11.0.00 after removing 10.0. Then I made sure my indexing settings were setup to index files and contents and made sure the .pdf extension was selected under file types.
    I then created a mapped drive to the network location, and setup my indexing to the folder on that network drive. I was able to do this by installing this Microsoft Add-in that allows use of UNC paths in the indexing.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3383
    Once I set this up, I rebuilt my index and restarted the computer. This is where it gets weird. I can now search the contents of PDF files in this indexed network location, but only by one letter. Searching "c type:pdf" will produce results, but "co type:pdf" will not. I know for sure some of the documents have the work Comment in there so this should should up.
    Does anyone have experience getting this to work correctly with the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat X or XI and Windows 7 32 bit? It would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I am surprised you got a search of contents to work in Win7. MS changed the process and I have not seen a fix as there was with XP. The search engine of Win7 was designed only to search MS documents and other designated documents from MS. For Win7, the solution is typically to use a third party search engine. I had to use a 3rd party program when I was searching the content of non-MS files. An additional issue with a PDF is that it is a binary file and you may not find text or such, particularly if encryption is set.

  • Preview is not opening PDF's Correctly

    Hi there,
    My Preview is for some reason not opening pdf's in the way they should look (for instance the text on a letter has turned into symbols, another has the £ signs as dots etc). It's really weird as it's always worked fine. The problem isn't with the pdf's themselves, as they appear perfectly well on my iphone.
    Any ideas? I've searched around various forums and Googled this, but it doesn't appear like anyone's had the same problem.
    If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it, as I didn't realise quite how many pdf's I get sent!
    Many thanks
    Simon

    I've had the same issue with just one PDF that I got sent. It seemed not compatible (yet) with Preview. I installed Adobe PDF reader and it worked. Afterwards I put Adobe in the trash again, as it took so much space on my hard drive. If you have the issue with just some PDF files, you might simply try Adobe Reader.

  • Apercu does not open pdf files

    apercu does not open pdf files and crashes

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Search String in PDF file - MAC Apple Script

    Please help me.
    Thanks michael

    Right, I think I've got on to something here:
    1. I must not have been able to search this particular pdf document in the past, despite what I think I remember.
    2. When I select the Yamaha TDM pdf in Finder and show the Inspector window (CMD-opt-I) I see under "More Info" that Security Method is 'Password Encrypted'. In fact, try to select and copy some of the text: you can't. BUT: print the whole file to a new PDF, then save that new pdf file and use it for searching, ... ta-da! it works!
    I was a bit disappointed in ColorSync's inability to open the file and then Save it As... In the Tiger days, I had used this work-around: I took a password encrypted pdf document, opened it in ColorSync utility (in Applications/Utilities) and saved it under a new filename somewhere on the disk, and this process sort of neglected to cloak it up in its password-protection.
    Oh well, I suppose I can use the Print to PDF method which I describe just here to achieve the same goal. Until, that is, the big-wigs in the publishing companies and Apple are alerted to this fact and strip the 'functionality' from the print process.
    Thanks for posting.

  • Report will not generate PDF only the XML output.  View XML icon disabled

    Any thoughts. All settings are the same as when other XML to PDF reports are created. Not sure why this one is not working.

    I'm afraid this is not an installation issue, it rather sounds and application server one, at the operative level.
    I suggest you to post your thread at the Fusion Middleware or Developer Tools forums.
    You didn't provide any OS nor Oracle / AS version, I suggest you to specify this information when posting in future threads.
