N.B. Is it important to note that if an imported PDF is not searchable you won’t be able to highlight the text in it. This is because before scanning the PDF content is recognised as a single image. If you want to be able to highlight your text, then follow this LINK on how to use OCR in Casedo.

You can harness this feature and adapt it to your workflow, choosing to use different colour tags for different groups of documents within your bundle.

Comments

Removing a comment box

2) You will be asked to confirm if you wish to delete if you want to continue to delete then select yes and if you have changed your mind select no.

Bookmarks

With Casedo you can add bookmarks throughout your documents, and label them as you see fit. With this, you can break down files and access the key areas with ease.

 

Adding a bookmark

To add a bookmark, simply click on the bookmark button located on the top left of your viewer screen and drag it anywhere in the document. (You must click and drag onto the document and not outside)

 

 

This will insert a bookmark in the specific segment of your document. Your bookmark will also appear in your Index just under the file it was created in. You can now label the bookmark and have easy access to essential areas.

Also

  • If you want to rename the bookmark, simply double-click the bookmark you want to change and erase the previous label.
  • If you want to relocate the bookmark, simply click and drag the existing bookmark. If you want to relocate it to a completely new page you will have to delete the bookmark and create a new one on your desired page.

 

Removing bookmarks

You can either delete the bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark tab itself and tapping on the ‘Trash’ icon in your Desk Space. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the bookmark every time, simply select ‘Yes’ if you wish to delete, or ‘No’ if you have changed your mind.

 

Or you can also delete your bookmarks through your Index or Desk Space. To do this, locate and right-click on the bookmark you wish to delete in your Index or Desk space.

With Casedo, you can add links to your files to navigate your case in a time-efficient manner. Links create a cross-reference between two parts of your case.

To add links, drag the link icon located on the top right side of your screen onto the chosen place on your page. You will then see the other link appear underneath the link icon.

To complete the created link, drag the dotted link icon that appeared after you placed the first link, place it to another part of your bundle. This will allow you to navigate to either end of the link by simply double clicking on the link created.

When you have a second viewer open, you have the option to drag links between the viewers by simply dragging the link selected and placing it on the second viewer.

 

This short video shows you specifically how to delete both ends of links.
