How to do it
Keeping track of a paper trail? Make a Timeline reads the dates in your PDFs, like appointments, bills and letters, and lists them in order: when, who, what, and the page each one is on.
- Open the PDFs and choose Tools > Make a Timeline (or press Ctrl+K and type "timeline"). It starts with the tab you're in. Choose Add files… to add more.
- CrescentPDF reads every page, even scans, and lists each date with Who it's from, What it's about and Where it is.
- Click a date to see that part of the page with the date outlined, and Open page to go straight to it.

- Narrow it down by words, by who, or between two dates, then choose Export….
