Improvements
-----------------
- Text annotations will be extracted from the PDF before uploading and stored in an indexed database column to provide support for databases that are not capable of extracting text annotations from PDF documents.
- Text from the PDF will be extracted before uploading and stored in an indexed database column to provide support for SQLite that is not capable of indexing PDF documents and for Oracle Database that can not filter PDF documents with embedded fonts.
Changes
----------

Other Changes
-----------------
- Source code was reorganized and name changes were made.
- Created script that will download and extract SumatraPDF during the build process if missing or not the required version, replacing manual steps in Build Instructions.
Additional Information
--------------------------
Oracle Database 19c (19.3) requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) - 12.0.30501 to be installed on the computer hosting the database.
Description
PDFKeeper is free, open source software that provides a storage and management solution for PDF documents.
This software requires a relational database for document storage. It can be implemented for single user use with the builtin, local SQLite database or in a client-server environment using a compatible database. Please note, future versions might extend support for other database management systems. You can request this by posting an issue on its GitHub page available here.
Note: PDFKeeper requires Windows (64 bit) with .NET Framework 4.8
Features:
- Store and manage PDF documents in a local or compatible, client-server relational database where they’re indexed to provide full-text search functionality.
- Upload PDF documents individually or in bulk. In addition, configured folders can be setup to allow for integration and automation.
- Apply a category and/or tax year to selected document records and when PDF documents are uploaded.
- Set the flag state on a selected document record and when PDF documents are uploaded to mark for follow-up.
- Add notes to a selected document record that can include the date, time, and user account name. All notes can be edited and are indexed by the database.
- Search for document records by Text, Selections (Author/Subject/Category/Tax Year), or Date Added. In addition, the user can list document records that are flagged or all document records in the database.
- With PDFKeeper, the following functions can be performed on a selected document record: PDF document viewing with the bundled or default viewer; flag document state management; notes viewing and editing; keywords, PDF preview, and PDF text are also displayed for viewing.
- Export selected PDF documents with their category, tax year, notes, and flag state from the database for easy importing.
