“saying there” > “saying there being true”
Sorry for the omission.

maybe I should have mentioned, for what it’s worth, I don’t use UR for pdf (or any other) file management of any sort. I use UR only for critical information (my extended brain :) ), anything else stays away from it.
For pdf -> everything (instant file search) -> dtsearch (indexed search) -> pdf-xchange (highlights used for UR file preprocessing + notes with keywords) -> apdf comments collector (for collecting also those highlights in one file with links to pages in pdf)

quant, would you be so kind as to further develop your choice, re UR? Your experience could be of great value to us.
As for dtSearch, because of its - former - price of some 250 euro (or dollars? but I think it was euro…, I highly praise it: I once trialled it extensively, and yes, it’s the very best of the best, that’s for sure!), it is / was out of reach for many users; my mention of X1 was in light of it probably being the “second best choice”.
I checked the price again now, and it’s 199 dollars (plus VAT in Europe) - well, that’s MUCH cheaper than the dtSearch price I remember from having looked again at it perhaps 1 year ago, so dtSearch BECOMES INTO REACH NOW - that’s VERY GOOD NEWS!
Thus, the original poster (or any other contributor to this forum who isn’t stuck, like me, to not being able to trial sw at the moment, because his Outlook use prevents him from making an image of his system, and then, after 2 weeks, reinstall the image) should indeed trial all these: UR, Nuance, X1 (as an alternative with negligeable cost), and dtSearch (which, in my trial, proved SO MUCH SUPERIOR to anything else), and then report.
This being said, further development of your comparative experience with both UR and dtSearch re pdf (and anything else) would be SO welcome, quant! Thank you so much for sharing, in case!
