I would appreciate your try. I messed around with Acrobat Pro and could not figure it out. My apology, but I am not an Acrobat expert and have never been able to clearly figure out all the program can or will do. I tried bringing in the file as a PDF form without success. It just appears strange to me why Adobe would turn off the print function from the Acrobat version of the PDF.

Thanks.

It is weird. You can print the page of the ClipNote for the PDF file, but all you get is the screen stage and current viewable note. My client would like to see a “hard” print copy of all the suggested changes of which you can see on the screen by expanding the comments. You just can not print it. It is funny that Adobe would not think of this. Also, sometimes it is nice to have a “paper list” in front of you if you are deleting the original marker from the timeline.

It seems easy, but not what the developers were thinking. It makes editing changes so easy that no one probably thought a person might want to keep a historical record.

I am beginning to answer my own question, but thought I might pass along the info. In short, maybe you can and probably you can’t get a printed report from ClipNotes. I have been researching this on Adobe Forums and discovered others have had the same thoughts, but no answers from Adobe. In the Clip Notes pdf you can list all of the comments in a table format, add or delete them or even mark them as accomplished…cool! But, in Adobe Pro, Adobe has grayed out the printer icon, required some kind of password, and require tagging which is secured by password to output to Word. Does anyone know what the password is or why can’t Adobe give it out?

I have tried exporting to text and bringing into a spread sheet. At that point I get the headers of the table and the first row, but not everything although all rows are highlighted.

I have found Ovisfdf a shareware program to read the data xfdf file and convert it to a csv file, but the demo will only do a few lines. I don’t know if that is the demo limitation or the same issue as above in exporting from Adobe PDF Reader Pro. The program is about $100 so I am kind of cautious about purchasing without knowing.

If anyone would have any ideas on the subject I would appreciate knowing. Obviously, from the unanswered posts on the Adobe Forum they probably don’t know either.

I am having a similar problem. I can begin capturing for about 25 seconds and then the system stops. Sometimes it creates a file and other times it does not. If I start up at a different point it works again for 25 or so seconds. I am using a 3.5 gig Intel with XP and CS3. Is this a CS3 bug with HDV. I am using a Sony V1U and a Sony 15U deck.

I am on a PC with AE CS3 and a similar thing happens to me when I use PA withing AE as an effect. The PA screen freezes. I can not get out unless I stop it with ctrl/alt/delete. Then it wrecks my AE and the project.
