Locating an imported document file

[Pat Bradford]

I imported a PDF file per the instructions in the help file. I went into
Adobe Reader and printed to Microsoft Document Image Writer, selecting .tif
as the file type. Once the file was converted, I went into OneNote and did
Insert>Document as Image on the .tif file.

All went well, except I can't find the image anywhere in OneNote! What am I
overlooking?

A pdf file as of about three years ago, is a text files with characters
describing the document. Therefore you can search for the words in the
document with an Adobe window search.

When you converted it to a tif file, it became an image composed of 'dots'.
The ext is gone, just images of them. Without the ext, the only thing you
can search on is the file name, date, etc.

I'd open an Adobe viewer window, search for the keywords until you find the
name of the file, then do a ON search on that file name.

Thanks, Thurman.

But that wasn't my problem. It's not that I couldn't search the image in
OneNote, after doing the import, I couldn't FIND it in OneNote. I ran
through the procedure described in my original post about five more times.
The fifth time was the charm: a beautiful image of the PDF showed up as a
new page in OneNote. Puzzling, but I'll take that for now.
