RE: merging two documents
It happens automatically. Open the older file and the newer file. With the newer file in the active window, invoke the Utilities Compare Documents command. Choose the Summary and Composite Documents option and run the comparison. The result will be a new document window that has the name of the newer file with a COMP suffix, and it will contain all the content of both documents. Content that appears in the older document and not the newer one will be tagged with an new condition tag called Deleted, and the content that appears in the newer file but not the older one will be tagged with the Added condition. My recommendation for the next step is to review all of the tagged chunks to see if they can be made unconditional or whether you need to delete something to make the text read correctly. Once you've reviewed all the additions and deletions, you can use the Edit Condition Tag button in the Conditional Text dialog to delete the Deleted and Added conditions, making the text unconditional in the process.

I would like to incorporate changes in both documents (books) into a new document. I read about 'comparing books', but could not figure out how to create a 'new' document that included the changes from both documents. Any help is appreciated.

PDF - OT
Hi Diana, Instead of copying/pasting the annotations, try this: 1) Open the original PDF with the annotations. 2) Choose Document > Replace Pages. When prompted for a PDF, choose the revised PDF. 3) Select the appropriate page numbers in the Replace Pages dialog box and click OK. The revised pages should "slide under" the annotations, leaving them intact. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hello all, I have a question about copying and pasting lines and circles drawn in a PDF - using the Acrobat Drawing tools. I would like to select them and transfer to another PDF (revision) but when I do, the selection on the clipboard rotates on the new PDF. (rotates clockwise in the pasting process). The original file's layout is portrait and never has been rotated. Sounds silly to ask, but I have an instructor that marks up books (PDF) and uses the PDF as a presentation in a classroom. The book (PDF) is pretty big and he doesn't what to take the time to redraw the artwork. Anyone care to comment why the copy and paste gets rotated and how to fix it?

Bookmarks in PDF without numbers

FrameMaker doesn't let you control the bookmark text, which always includes the text including paragraph numbering (unless the autonumber string is formatted as white). The FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on has several functions improving the usefulness of bookmarks, one of which can suppress paragraph numbering (which can be further controlled based on the level). See http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#4 for more information and examples. The FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on operates automatically as part of the distilling (no need for post-creation manual operations).
