Hi all,

So, I have a bit of a problem...

I have been marking up a 145-page document pretty completely. A lot of notes. Just now I went to merge the entire document with my notes, and the companion software hit p.45 and then just STOPPED merging. A few seconds later, it told me that the merge process was complete but that there was an error on p.45.

I went to open the merged file but there was nothing wrong with the merge on p.45. Instead, five pages later, on p.50, that's where the merging ended.

I went to check file sizes. The original document was 845 kb and my imperfectly merged file was 10.5 mb. Is there a max limit to how much notes can be merged? How is this calculated?

So now, I've got a slight problem. I want to merge all 145 pages of my notes into the file. Obviously, the slow but certain method would be to erase my notes and then somehow re-copy them later, throughout doing a few merges to merge my 145 pages of notes 45 pages at a time, but I'm not even sure how I'd get that to work (take pictures of my notes with a camera???)...

Suggestions or advice appreciated!!! Am I missing something obvious???
