(Archived) Scansnap keywords

[drmrbrewer 1]

I think it neat that you can highlight (using a yellow marker) certain words in a document, and scansnap will automatically keyword the pdf with those highlighted words. Is there any sense in having these integrate with evernote in some way, for example assigning a matching evernote tag to the file, or creating a new tag if none exists? On the other hand, I kinda suspect these keywords are internal to the scansnap organizer and hence not actually embedded into the file itself -- and hence not available to evernote?

I'm not sure exactly what ScanSnap does with this "keyword" feature. I think that we will search for these words just like other words in the document, but thanks for the suggestion.

They certainly appear within the keywords against the pdf within scansnapp manager, but I can't see them in a media cataloguing app I use (MS Expression Media). Perhaps scansnap is putting them in a custom place in the file, if at all. It would be a nice way of applying tags to a document in evernote, at the pre rather than post capture stage.
