Rarely I need this and due to another post in the forum I´ll describe my workaround.
I do not link the other post from another user due to inappropriate statements about mike´s support.
Assume/Prepare
- 2 tablets with identical libraries
- Tab1: set annotation layer 1
- Tab2: set annotation layer 2
- Make (different) annotations to a song (pdf), also at the same time (e.g. rehearsal) on different tablets.
How to merge annotations:
Tab1: embed annotations
Tab2: DO NOT embed annotations
Tab1: Server; Two-Way-Sync; uncheck all checkboxes except "sync annotations"; Promt user for decision
Tab2: Client; connect
Following will happen:
Tab1: Server ask for sync pdf: choose "mine"
Tab1: Server ask for sync annotations: choose "theirs"
Ready. Annotations are merged.
Repeat this steps everytime annotations are changed.
Maybe this will work vice-versa and I´m not shure if it works with same annotations layer on different tablets.
Didn´t investigate this deeper. Also, no idea about other consequences.
As I wrote, it works for me.
As a hint:
Every embedding/sync the *.pdf file becomes noticeable larger (mike described the background sometimes ago in a post).
This is not really a "problem", I never work with originals, always with copies.
Maybe someone can use this (always make a backup before!)
e.k.
