So not only does Adobe not allow us to make the comments a free-floating pane as in Acro9, Acro8, and Acro7 at least, but now you can't summarize and print ONLY pages with comments? I've got a 1200-page programming guide with comments on about 50 pages, and yet my ONLY option is to print the entire thing? This can't be happening.
 
Is this truly the case with the "new and improved" POS called Acrobat X Pro?
 
If so, I guess I'm going back and installing Acro9, and keeping AcroX only for a couple of scripts that I need. This is ridiculous - they've dumbed down the interface for the masses, and removed functionality for the experienced user.
 
Someone please tell me I'm wrong and that I'm just missing where they hid this particular command...

Hi coppercarla,

Have you checked out the Actions Exchange here (located under Gallery at the top of this page? There is an Action for extracting commented pages-

http://acrobatusers.com/content/extract-commented-pages

There is another Action there for creating a comment summary too.


Hope this helps,

OK, apparently I'm losing my mind... Summarizing the comments did NOT work before, but now it does. The script is great, too, but I can now summarize and print, whereas before I could not.

I think my system is possessed... but thank you very much for pointing me at that script! That will still be useful.
