Can I transfer notes with a One Liner schedule?

Yes! While Scriptation is optimized for note-taking and Note Transfer with scripts, you can also import a PDF one-liner to take notes on it alongside your script and other production documents.

Anytime a new schedule is distributed, you can transfer all your notes forward to the new version.

📝 NOTE: The accuracy of Note Transfer on non-script documents depends on a variety of factors. To check optimal formatting, see How should my script be formatted?.

Why did transfer suddenly stop working on my one-liner?

If note transfer was working on previous one-liner schedules but suddenly stops working, this is usually caused by one of the following:

Formatting inconsistencies — Some one-liner schedules aren't formatted in a way that's optimized for Scriptation's transfer engine, even if previous versions of that same schedule were.
A flattened PDF — If the new schedule's PDF was exported as a flattened file, none of its text will be recognizable to Scriptation, and transfer won't work at all. Learn how to check for this in What is a Flattened PDF?. If this is the case, the only fix is to request a non-flattened version from whoever originally exported the schedule.

For all other possible causes and fixes, see My note transfer didn't work. Help!

📝 NOTE: Transferring notes between one-line schedules is not a dedicated, fully-supported Scriptation feature — accuracy can vary. You can vote for improved one-liner transfer support on our Feature Request board.
