I can add tags to pageItems with and also read them out again afterwards.
var newTag = item.tags.add();
newTag .name="testname"
newTag .value="testvalue"
How can I see this tag in the Illustrator UI?

Just a guess as I can't check: Attributes panel?

Hi Doug, thanks for the answer. I do know the notes field on the attributes panel. I cannot finde the tags there.

This is right. The tags are interestingly a feature of Illustrator that is only meant for scripting. There's only one way to show these values with the UI, and that is by creating a custom ScriptUI dialog.

have you considered using the "note" property instead? unlike "tag", "note" can be seen/edited in the Attributes panel.
