Anchor to OneNote for PDF

OneNote is a software utility that enables you to create memos and notes for your day-to-day activities, which can easily be transferred between devices and synchronized across the Internet. Although the application allows you to attach almost any kind of document to the notes, it can be useful to create much simpler anchors, which link the text to certain parts of a PDF file.

Anchor to OneNote for PDF is a SumatraPDF add-in that enables you to achieve this, by linking the currently open PDFs to the associated OneNote memos. Hence, you can simply open the document inside the reader and use the provided anchor function to link the file and create useful shortcuts inside your notes.

The overall process is pretty straightforward, since all you have to do is use the new SumatraPDF function delivered by the add-in, which allows you to quickly link the file to the appropriate OneNote memo. You do, however, need to be familiar with OneNote's capabilities, in order to take advantage of the anchor feature.

Since the main idea behind an anchor is to quickly reach the information you need, Anchor to OneNote for PDF sticks to this principle and enables you to jump from the PDF you are currently viewing to the linked memo and view the related notes. Thanks to this, you can easily link information throughout your memos and not have to include all the content into the note.

Due to the fact that the application uses linked notes to function correctly, they need to enabled inside OneNote before you can anchor PDFs and take advantage of their abilities. You also need to allow document snippets and page thumbnail saving, so that the linking can be made to the right place inside the note.

In essence, the service provided by Anchor to OneNote for PDF spares you the headache of having to manually link PDF files to your notes, making your life easier. Moreover, the SumatraPDF integration and the relatively simple process make it a handy tool to have around, especially of you integrate PDF anchors into your memos on a regular basis and you want to speedup the procedure.
