Thank you so much Thomas,
I am afraid I am not sure where or how I would put this script in, do you
know how I would do this? Just to clarify I can usually just click
"export" and then choose the file type as "pdf with embedded notes" and
that usually works with the exception of about 3 files I have been sent so
far. Do you think this script would help this?
Thanks again for your help!
Nicole
