If someone can address D. Stall's questions, it would also be good to get
advice about maintaining Spotlight indexing. I have never been able to clearly
understand which edits of a pdf are picked up by Spotlight and which are not. I
think that flattened pdfs are searchable, but after experimenting with Acrobat
and PDFPen (two other pdf editing programs for Macintosh), I found that edits
that looked the same to me were differently indexed (PDFPen's edits were
indexed, and Acrobat's were not).
Thank you, if someone knows the answer.
