Searchable PDF Indexing
-
A work around I've used is to do a copy paste of the text before saving it as a jpg or pdf and then pasting that in the description box so it's now part of the metadata and searchable. Of course, you don't always have the option to do this. In these cases, this would be nice. Stories and text are an important part of what we are saving and making it searchable would be a huge benefit.

YESSS!!!! Please make this happen! I would absolutely love the ability to search words or phrases within PDFs for my genealogy records. This would be a game changer for research helping me quickly find names, dates, and key details without having to manually go through every document.

The ability to store PDFs is such an important part of our full memory-keeping system. To truly knock it out of the park, having those documents be searchable would make all the difference—especially as this is something being requested more and more.

Many of my clients, as well as myself, have a lot of .pdf documents in our accounts. It would be fabulous if there was an ability to make them searchable. It would also be wonderful if one of the AI enhancments was the ability to change a handwritten document into text that was automatically added to the description of that document. I've had to download, run it through an AI program, copy and then paste into FOREVER. It would be fantastic if this could all be done within FOREVER and thereby become searchable. This would also make it easier for someone to "read" the letter when they can't read the handwriting.

Cheryl Freye - That is what I have had to do also. I have hundreds of WWII letters that I have been doing this with. As I am reading through the letters I am seeing many things mentioned that I want to be able to find again later to share with my family. A simple search would save me hours. I also have thoudsands of pages from journals that need to be searchable. I am concerned that these memories will remain buried in my account and really never become the most enriching source to future posterity.

This would VERY useful. I tell people about storing important documents in their FOREVER storage account, so it goes without saying that these documents need to be easily searchable. :)

I agree! This would be so helpful. I have a client who is a realtor and is backing up all her business documents in Storage.

This IS an amazing tool. I love Forever and all the many things it can do. I’ve used it for specific things and the photos have been very accessible. However it doesn’t yet have the transcription capability or looking up things in a transcription by name or date. We have gone elsewhere for this service and are amazed at the ease in which we can access our information. It’s amazing to be able to do this. It’s an incredible tool. I would LOVE to keep all my things in forever. I love my ambassador and the reason I have invested in it is because I wanted all my things in one place safely. I would love to see forever quickly get this available and then we could switch over which would be fabulous!
