A long-handwritten document had been uploaded as a pdf to FS before it could only be viewed on Adobe. Paragraphs were tagged to several individuals so that they could easily be located by clicking on the individual. Now FS downloads the pdf to Adobe, and I cannot easily locate an individual in the document, I have to read the whole thing through to find the individual I want. Am I mission something?

    @David B Allen

    Thank you for posting your question here in Community about your recent post as a PDF document.

    To clarify, your concern is that your document prior to uploading had some way of pointing out information about individuals, but after uploading as a PDF that way-finding has been lost. If that is correct, there are a couple of things you could try.

    1. Remove the document you have currently uploaded.
    2. Create a cover sheet describing the contents, perhaps add sections by year or whatever method is most relevant to your document.
    3. Then add a syllabus at the end listing names of individuals and the page numbers where their details can be found.

    After that upload your document again and hopefully it will be better and easier to find the particulars.

    It sounds like you are quite proficient with uploading, but just in case, please refer to the following article from the help center.

    Best of success to you.
