Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Hi Forum & Tracker support team
there is already the incredibly useful command to automatically select all pages containing various elements, e.g. comments, bookmarks, search results etc:
Two questions please, regarding this feature:
Is it also possible to:
(a) select pages containing hyperlinks; and/or
(b) to add multiple selections together, e.g. first select all pages with comments and then add all pages with search results to the selection (in other words, "select all pages that either have comments or search results")
Many thanks for information on this,
Best regards
David

Re: Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Hello David,
a) You meant link annotations?
b) From your perspective, how it will be comfortable to use such a feature? For what first came to my mind - a checkbox command in the bottom of the Select All menu "Add to Existing Selection".
Cheers,
Alex

Re: Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Hi, is the option, for example to select only pages with bookmarks, only available in the Pro version? Many thanks.

Hello labcottage,
From what I remember, this is not a pro feature.

Re: Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Hello cottage,
I'm not 100% sure if this is one of the Pro options -- which however are all available also in the free version, and only leave a watermark when saving.
In any case, these commands are not included by default in the menus, but have to be added manually to a menu or toolbar via "Customize Toolbars":
Corrigendum: these commands are included by default in the menus: unter the gear symbol in the thumbnails/bookmarks pane, respectively.
Hi Alex and thank you for your quick reply!
This is what I mean with internal hyperlinks:
So I guess that "select all pages containing hyperlinks" is not available/possible at the moment -- maybe it could be added? My use case is that I simply want to select all pages on which I have added "things" (i.e. comments, links, bookmarks...), in order to create a new PDF -- but with much fewer pages than the original PDF.
I think that a checkbox "Add to Existing Selection" in the bottom of the "Select..." menu would be a very good way to implement this feature!
Best regards
David

Hi David,
Thanks for that - I'll pass it along for consideration but, as always, I cannot guarantee at this time.

Re: Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Thanks again Alex, Will and Stefan for your replies on this feature request.
This is also not entirely inconsistent, since hyperlinks created by the user can also be seen as a kind of "comments" in my view.
Thanks very much for considering this small addition to the "Select pages with XYZ" feature.
Regards
David
Regarding the suggested feature to automatically also have pages with hyperlinks selected, it would be my suggestion to include hyperlinks into the category "Comments" in this case, so that the command "Select all Pages with Comments" also would include pages with hyperlinks.

Re: Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Hello David,
We were discussing this and we'll probably add the Select Pages With Links and Select Pages With Path Items. As for the multiple selection - something like dialog with checkboxes of what to select and the command to launch it would be optimal.

Alex

Re: Automatically select all pages containing XYZ
Hello guys,
Added the easier part already - the "Select with Link" and "Select with Path" commands. Will forward this to our testing team and if all goes well this will be available from the next release. The MultiSelect dialog however will be put on the schedule as this requires much more work and planning to achieve. Cheers,
