As others have suggested, I recommend Yep for PDFs. I would not store
PDFs in Yojimbo. Yep stores the PDFs in the filesystem so your
changes would get saved to back to the original file. It functions
much like iPhoto does but for PDFs. For more general file
management, you might look at Leap from the same developers. Leap
leaves your files in the filesystem--it does not use a database like
Yojimbo does. Leap is really a Finder from a different perspective
that happens to manage tags. It is not suitable for storing quick
notes, passwords, etc. like Yojimbo. Both Yep and Leap do use a
database for storing metadata such as tags but not the original files:

You might also consider EagleFiler. It uses the filesystem to store
your files so you could open the PDF in Preview or Skim and changes
would get saved. EagleFiler does support quick text notes too.
Unlike Yojimbo, it supports hierarchical folders and multiple
libraries. But unlike Yojimbo, you can't encrypt individual items in
a library...but you can encrypt an entire library. It also doesn't
support true .Mac syncing but it can store it's library on an iDisk
or other shared disk. EagleFiler also works with TimeMachine and
Yojimbo does not.

I have been using Yojimbo for a long time and evaluated all existing
options at the time before settling on Yojimbo. At the time, .Mac
syncing was the selling point since I absolutely need access to my
data on multiple computers and don't want to bother with manual
syncing. However, I'm seriously considering a switch to EagleFiler
or some other system because of Yojimbo's lack of support for
TimeMachine (and the developer's attitude that "it's Apple's
problem") as well as the lack of hierarchical folders. After giving
tagging a good faith effort, I still prefer folders or a combination
of the two -- especially since Yojimbo's Smart Collections are not
very smart at all. Based on traffic on this list, Yojimbo seems
unlikely to support either better Smart Collections or hierarchical
folders any time soon.

Hi everybody,
just a simple question. I have PDF file inside the Yojimbo. I would
like to annotate/rotate it and save it once again into Yojimbo
database. How to do it? Now I have to open this file in Preview, do
all my changes, save the file to the hard disk and import this file
once again into Yojimbo. Now I have duplicate and I need to delete
the old one file from the Yojimbo database. Even if I use Print-
>Save as PDF in Yojimbo" option from the Preview I will get
duplicate inside the Yojimbo database.
I think it's irritating process just a bit and take a long time.
Maybe someone can suggest something to make it easier?
Thanks a lot in advance,
All the best,
