Can I edit a Clip Notes PDF?
Hello,
I’m using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to export QuickTime files to PDF. Since the URL is entered with the Clip Notes dialog, is there a way to change this URL in the PDF after it has been created? I do have Acrobat Professional.
I did figure out that I can just select a few frames and render to a different folder and ditch the QuickTime and use the other rendered file, and it seems to work OK… but that’s a bit of a hassle I guess.

Clip Notes is used for people to make Notes to your video, and then send the notes back to you so you can make the changes.
These files aren’t meant to be edited.

Well yeah, I know what it’s for, but it just doesn’t like Adobe made it very flexible. For instance, not every video editor is web savvy and will be the one deciding on the URL for the video.. and this HAS to be entered during the encoding process. And, if the filename changes… no fixing it.
It also doesn’t warn you that you have to make the file name in the save dialog the same as what you entered in the URL field.
So, it’s not like the editor can give the PDF and the video to a webmaster to finalize for the web.
OR, I think Clip Notes should have the option ask the viewer for a URL when the PDF is opened. Or perhaps be able to have a list of files that load in the single PDF, like bookmarks. Right now, a dozen clips means a dozen PDFs. And for both locally played files and streamed, you need two sets of PDFs.
I did fine the template PDF.. Hopefully Adobe will expand on this and provide instructions or ways for us to customize that template. I could try with Illustrator, but haven’t yet.
