Do I use a note to add tags to a pdf?
I don’t appear to be able to tag a pdf from inside Obsidian so my guess is that I create a note for each file and add the tags to that note. Or is there a better way?
Tell me like I’m at least as old as your grandmother.
I coded in Pascal 30 years ago and learned a small amount of HTML. That’s really it. I can’t even figure out how to use this data-entry form properly … Y’all, my first real programming job was to remove the ability to run the software off two floppy disks and I retired from that life 25 years ago.
I know what I want but I don’t know how to get there. I am researching particular aspects of the Epstein files. Because of risk of deletions, in general I am downloading the source material, but I’ll do web links whenever reasonable. This means I have many files that I want to tag and then associate with people / places / events. I guess that would be a note, which I could then import into canvas. I’ve no idea. We didn’t have personal computers when I was in school so I simply do not come ready-made with the right prerequisite knowledge.
In my mind’s eye, I see each person / place / event as a descriptive node that uses “attached” (associated?) documentation which links that topic to other topics. When I add a new file and tag it, I want that file to automatically “glom onto” the proper topics, so that when I view, say, a person, I may find out that the new doc just put that person two steps from something I hadn’t realized they might be associated with – and I don’t have to do it by manually adding that document to all relevant nodes.
I’m sure it can be done, but I’d love to know the easy / correct way before I put a lot of time into doing it the hard way.
Thanks
