In general, GoldFynch and other eDiscovery software expect the documents coming into the system to already be unitized (split into logical, individual documents/files). If they are not, (e.g.,  a bulk PDF production sent as a single document), there are a couple of options to unitize the PDF pages.

  1. Bursting every page into a separate document.
  2. Splitting at special markers. For example, if the bulk PDF contains multiple email addresses, we could attempt to split into individual emails by looking for "To:, From:,  Subject" words on a page.


If the above two options are not feasible, in GoldFynch, the "document annotations" feature may help if you highlight/select some text on an important page, you can click to mark & save the selection, and thereafter the page number and selected text will show up on the right-hand panel under "Document Annotations," along with a button that will take you straight to the page & the highlighted text. Information on the annotations feature can be found here.


In this example, clicking "Page 45" on the right will scroll directly to the appropriate page and highlight the text. 


"Page 45" on the right will scroll directly to the appropriate page and highlight the text.


Note: There isn't really a way to search or filter for documents that have these text selections/annotations, so you will probably also want to tag the documents "FOR JOHN REVIEW" or something similar so that you can find the documents easily.
