Importing a PDF Transcript

You may need to import a transcript into Westlaw Case Notebook® that was saved as a PDF. Because it is not an accepted transcript file format, you can import it instead as a document. To easily retrieve the transcript after you import it as a document, you can either add it to a group named “Transcripts” or set it as a “Transcript” type, then sort the documents by one of these categories.

To import the PDF transcript as a document, complete these steps:

  1. Click the New arrow, then click Document (from File) on the menu. The Data Import Wizard-Document Files dialog box is displayed.
  2. Click Add to display the Open dialog box.
  3. Select your PDF transcript and click Open. The Data Import Wizard-Document Files dialog box is redisplayed.
