Still exploring new ways of using DT3 and enjoying the discovery trip. One area I’ve tried out is the options to add annotations directly to PDF files e.g. highlights, text boxes and view the list of all such annotations in the Inspector/Annotation window, then adding some comments for each annotation using the details window at the bottom of the inspector window.
Two point I wanted to make. If I do the following:
i) Select a PDF file
ii) Highlight a passage of interest
iii) View the highlight under the Annotations list in the inspector
iv) Add text to the details window at the bottom, in this case let’s say wah1234 for the sake of the test.
First I think this might be a bug, if not it’s confusing. If I search for wah1234 sure enough the result shows up…but three times (see screenshot below) with 3 occurrences stated even though I only entered it one time for a single highlight.
Second, this is more of a functionality question. Is there a way of accessing all the details for each PDF annotation without selecting each annotation by hand ? When I display a list of PDF annotations I see the annotation and annotation type in the list but not whether they contain any details or not.
Many thanks
