To find this urn address for your .pdf files and their fingerprints (particularly local/private files not otherwise hosted in the cloud):

1. Visit https://jonudell.info/h/facet/
2. Search for your Hypothes.is username (and perhaps a tag) to find the document name and annotations you made on it.
3. You should be able to click on the document title which will take you to a non-loading web page with an address that looks something like this: urn:x-pdf:1ab23cd45e678fgh9012i34j56k78l90

If others know of alternate/faster methods of finding URIs for local pdf files I'd be happy to hear about them.

If you've annotated local (private) files within your browser using Hypothes.is, you'll need to find the uri path (a rough equivalent to http address for web pages) for your .pdf file with its "fingerprint" (a long unique number).

To do this 1. Visit https://jonudell.info/h/facet/ 2. Search for your Hypothes.is username (and perhaps a tag) to find the document name and annotations you made on it. 3. You should be able to click on the document title which will take you to a non-loading web page with an address that looks something like this: urn:x-pdf:1ab23cd45e678fgh9012i34j56k78l90 4. Copy and paste that address you get into Hypothesidian as the address for an appropriate option like "Retrieve my annotations for a web article or web pdf". 5. Hit enter/return. 6. Hypothesidian should return the appropriate annotations for that document.

If others know of alternate/faster methods of finding URis for local pdf files I'd be happy to hear about them.

One's personal notes can be considered a mental fingerprint of one's thoughts and desires.
