If you want to edit your ballooned PDF after exporting it, you can by following this process:
By Default, Ideagen Quality Control ( InspectionXpert) is set to merge balloons with the exported ballooned PDF, thus preventing any modifications to the balloons post-export
This setting is controlled in the "Options/Export" window:
Balloons are added as comments to the exported ballooned PDF. This setting controls whether the comments are "Merged" with the exported PDF ( Thus preventing any editing) or not.
If you want the ability to edit your balloons after exporting your ballooned PDF, you'll need to change the setting to "Save as Comments":
Once you apply this setting, any exported ballooned PDF will permit the editing of the balloon "comments" in any third party PDF application ( Such as Adobe Accrobat):
Using this method, you can edit balloon text, balloon shape/color or delete balloons entirely post-export.
NOTE: The method will not change any part of your saved Ideagen QC ( InspectionXpert) project - just the exported ballooned PDF.
