Acrobat User Community Forums

Hi,
I am a research scientist and I have assembled a library of thousands of research articles published in PDF format. I am currently using Acrobat version 8 professional.
When I read those articles, I highlight information that I think is notable.
My question is – other than opening each individual PDF to review the highlighted information - is there some way to automatically manage the highlighted information. I know this may be a rather vague question, but what is needed is some way to assemble, link, retain whatever the “clippings” that are highlighted (while maintaining their association with each particular article) other than cutting and pasting information, or relying on my memory of the highlighted information?
Please let me know at Keislerd@missouri.edu     thanks Duane
