Analyst444 182 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I loaded a 72 page PDF into Evernote. I did a search on a keyword that I knew was in the PDF. Evernote found it right away. It was on page 45. However, in order to find it in the PDF and read the paragraph where the keyword appeared, I had to go page-by-page, looking for the highlighted keyword. Is there a way I could have gotten Evernote to "leap" to page 45 where the keyword first appeared? And then where it next appeared? And then where it next appeared? etc. Thanks for your help on this.

Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted March 10, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 10, 2013 Evernote can point you to which PDF contains your search word(s) but at the present time (AFAIK) it's up to you to search within that PDF to find all occurrences of the word or phrase. If you have lots of multi-page PDFs and this is a problem, you could consider converting individual multi-page PDFs into sets of single page PDFs which might be more easily identified...

mlu 25 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Why not simply open the pdf in your pdf-reader via the pdf-icon? Then you can search for the word and easily jump between occurrences. Link to comment
mlu 25 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Even simpler actually: Press ctrl+f in the pdf in Evernote and skip between occurrences with next/previous at the bottom of the screen Link to comment
Analyst444 182 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 mlu - that does it! Thanks so much. I wanted to avoid carrying a bunch of individual PDFs around on my iPhone and use Evernote as my information repository and search engine. Link to comment
