I am getting frustrated. I have a 922-page PDF with corrections made by client's client (yes, you read it right). The corrections should be entered into 4 separate files.

Great question! Aug 11, 2013

I was just going to ask a similar one: how to consistently update repeated segments across several files, without repeated "open>search>update>close>open" routine. Or at least how to find out, which files from the large list contain the segments that need to be updated? (Something like the function "Batch find and replace" in Translation Workspace from Lionbridge).

Files from other tools can at least be imported in XBench for this. Unfortunately this solution is not available for Across.

I hope that's possible in principle, and someone knows the answer? ▲ Collapse
