Printing a summary of comments

Summarizing comments is a convenient way to get a synopsis of all the comments associated with an Adobe

PDF document. When you summarize comments, you can either create a new PDF document with

comments that you can print, or you can print the summary directly. The summary is neither associated with

nor linked to the PDF document that the comments are derived from.

Summarizing comments A. Document and comments with connector lines on a single page B. Document and

comments with connector lines on separate pages C. Comments only D. Document and comments with sequence

numbers

By default, Acrobat prints PDF documents with any stamps that were applied. For the greatest amount of

control over how your comments are printed, choose File > Print With Comment Summary.

To create a summary of comments:

1. Hide the comments that you don't want to appear in the summary. (See Showing and hiding comments.)

2. Do one of the following:

● Choose Comment > Summarize Comments, or choose Summarize Comments from the Options menu in the

Comments List.

● Choose File > Print With Comments Summary.

3. In the Summarize Options dialog box, do the following, and then click OK:

● Specify how to lay out the comments on the page.

● Choose how to sort the comments. (See Sorting comments.)

● Select whether you want all comments to appear in the summary or only the comments that are currently

showing.

If you created a summary, a separate PDF document appears. You can save or print this document. If you

want to summarize the comments again, switch back to the original document using the Window menu.

To print or summarize comments directly without opening the Summarize Options dialog box,

choose Print Comments Summary or Create PDF Of Comments Summary from the Print Comments

in the Comments List. Choose More Options from this menu to specify the summary settings used

in these instances.
