Hi there.
I wish I can explain my problem clearly.
I have finished my analysis of data I collected in 2015-2016 in MAXQDA 12 and then I bought a new computer and upgraded to MAXQDA 2018. Unfortunately the data I collected in 2017 cannot be imported into MAXQDA in my new computer if they are in word file. So I decided to save 2017 data as PDF or rtf so that they can be imported. What worries me is if the coding of 2017 data in the form of PDF can be compatible with previous coding of 2015-2016 data in the form of word. For example, if I decide to view code segments, will segments from word files pop up with segments from PDF in the same matrix? If I want to count the number of a particular code that appears in three years from 2015 to 2017, will it work?
With thanks for your help.
