Batch Converting Annotations Created with a Previous Version of Desktop to an Adobe Acrobat Compatible Format

You can convert annotations created using Desktop V2.0.1 or earlier so that they can be displayed, printed, and edited with this version of Desktop or PDF viewing software such as Adobe Reader.
IMPORTANT
When converting IWB/PDF documents created with Desktop V2.0.1 or earlier, the following annotations are deleted.
Strings that cannot be drawn
Images that cannot be drawn
Reader Extensions
NOTE
Annotations created using Desktop V2.0.1 or earlier cannot be displayed, printed, or edited because they are in an original Desktop format, but they can be converted to annotations in a format compatible with Adobe Acrobat by following this procedure, which enables them to be displayed, printed, and edited.
Annotations created with V3.0.0 or later of Desktop can be displayed, printed, and edited without conversion because they are in a format compatible with Adobe Acrobat.
PDF documents (*.pdf) and IWB documents (*.iwb) can be converted.
Documents that are converted are overwritten with the converted documents.
Annotations can be converted by library or folder.
Annotations can also be converted by directly starting Annotation Convert Tool. For more information, see the following.
