How are tags saved? DB or directly in archive.pdf?

[chmedly]

From my experiments so far it seems that tags are stored in the database. Is there any way to store them in the archive pdf so that they are "baked" into the file and can be moved elsewhere?

This may be a question for the upstream community at https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/discussions

Thank you for the direction. But you've got me wondering.. if this isn't a good question here, what kinds of questions should be asked here?

The question is fine here, although this forum is mostly about the app on Cloudron, at least this is where we have more experience to help out. Was just pointing you there, as there might be more people with more insights on how tags in paperless can be used.

But if you ask there, it would be great to backlink here so we can also learn from it.
