Tagging PDFs

Anonymous

Hi- I am a graduate student, and I mainly work with articles and books in PDF form.  Since  OneNote 2007 can not tag specific paragraphs within a PDF - I  read PDFs in Acrobat, and then cut and past  important paragraphs into OneNote to be tagged and commented on. I normally have at least two tags per paragraph. 

When I perform a tag search- the results are organized by individual tag, but I can't tell what other tags were assigned to the paragraph. For example, if I have four tags: X,Y,1 and 2 - i can sort documents by each individual tags, but I can't tell which documents in my X category are also in my 1 category. 

Do you have any tips to fix or work around this problem?

Thanks,

Ariel

Hello Ariel,

If I'm understanding this correctly, you would like to see which tags are assigned to a paragraph, not which paragraphs are assigned to a single tag.

There is a way to accomplish this, following these steps:

  1. View  > All Tagged Notes
  2. In Tags Summary, make sure to uncheck 'Show only unchecked items'
  3. Make sure to select 'Note text' in Group tags by: list (by default, it is set to 'Tag name' and that is why you get the results as you described)

As a result, you will have Paragraph1 listed with tag 1, then beneath it Paragraph1 listed with tag X.

I'm not sure if this helps. I guess you would like to have a list of all tags assigned to an item, but I don't think this is possible.

    The situation is unchanged in so far.
