RB9 includes a PDF transcript creator<\/a> which you can use to generate PDF transcripts from ASCII files. As PDFs, RB-PDF transcripts retain the appearance of the original document and can be easily shared with others because PDF is a universal format.<\/p>\n Use the\u00a0PDF Transcript Preferences function to define preferences for how your RB-PDF transcripts will appear and what options they will include.<\/strong> You can create multiple transcript preference profiles to cover different transcript requirements. When generating a PDF transcript, you apply one of these profiles and edit it as needed for the transcript.<\/p>\n You can define preferences for a multitude of measurements, database inclusions, appearance options, and transcript-only requirements like:<\/p>\n RB9 comes with a basic transcript profile that might cover all of your needs. But if you have clients with different transcript requirements or state laws that you have to abide by for some transcripts, you can create profiles for individual clients and states. Edit the basic profile to work as your default for most transcripts, then copy it and edit the copies to create other profiles.<\/p>\n Specifications you can set in a transcript profile are broken into 8 main categories:<\/p>\n Define the appearance and basic options of transcripts in transcript profiles with specifications for:<\/p>\n You can also give staff the ability to edit the original ASCII before generating the PDF.<\/p>\n Tailor header and footer content and appearance:<\/p>\n Choose whether or not to include both\/either, then customize the appearance of each, including:<\/p>\n You can also choose to include a simple hyperlinked word index in the navigation pane of transcripts.<\/p>\n Choose uniquely condensed options like:<\/p>\n Then further customize the look and options of condensed transcripts, including fonts, borders, and margins.<\/p>\n You can choose to include word indexes and\/or word lists (and where they appear in relation to the condensed transcript), and choose where condensed transcripts appear in relation to the full sized transcript.<\/p>\n Select the RB9 data fields that will appear as transcript metadata:<\/p>\n Choose whether or not to include either, then choose which forms to use for each that automatically include job and case information (set up in Form Templates<\/a>).<\/p>\n Give errata sheets headers and footers, And include options to preview\/edit the cover pages and errata sheets.<\/p>\n RB-PDF Transcripts include the option to apply both reporter and agency digital signatures generated using the free ReporterBase Digital Signature Proxy<\/a>.\u00a0You can choose to have\u00a0a bookmark labeled, \u201cValidate Signer,\u201d automatically included so that the reader of the PDF transcript can validate the signer\u2019s digital signature identity.<\/p>\n Compile a list of words that are excluded from the word index and word list of transcripts that are generated using this profile. You can\u00a0export the list as an Excel<\/em> spreadsheet or a CSV(comma-separated values) file to save, share, print, or use in other applications.<\/p>\n If you choose one of the PDF\/A formats\u00a0for archival reasons, not all of the customization features will be allowed. You cannot include attachments, including cover pages and errata sheets, nor allow digital signatures and their validation.<\/p>\n You can add and update PDF Transcript profiles at any time. Except for the default profile, you can delete any profile you no longer use.<\/p>\n\n
