Hello,
Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought if you bookmarked a pdf it would then show up in the Song Search List. I imported 2 PDFs I made and bookmarked them but they don’t show up when I search for them. Is there a step I am missing?
Thanks,
Greg

Yes - followed them. I end up with seeing the bookmark in the section - there is the little red circle with the name of the bookmark. Then I click "import" and it asks me if I want to import bookmarks from the current pdf. I click yes and then the bookmark screen comes back on. When I check in iTunes I see the bookmark file next to the pdf in the directory.

If there aren't bookmarks in your PDF no bookmarks will be imported. What version of iGigBook are you using?

Version 7.6.
I create the bookmark and it shows that there is a bookmark in the bookmark menu. I also see a bookmark file in the directory when I check in itunes.
Thanks,
Greg

Post a screen capture of the view showing the bookmark and a screen capture showing the search for the text in that bookmark.

It says the file is too large to post the image showing the empty search.

Thanks for the screen captures. I've tested this with version 7.6. In My Scores I created a single page PDF and then renamed it to GNID.pdf. I then opened this PDF and created 1 bookmark which defaulted to GNID. I exited the PDF view and went to the song search, typing in GNID resulted in one entry being displayed in the Song Title Search.
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by creating a bookmark for a single page PDF, explain...
