Print or export summarized comments w/o page breaks in the comments?

Is there a way to print or export comments only (without the underlying document) on a single page or continuous pages? Currently AA wants to use one page per page commented on, even if most of that page is blank. I'm on a Mac, if that matters.

Just clarifying my question: I don't want the summary to page-break after the comments for each page in the underlying document. I'd like comments for page 1, 2, 3, etc. to keep running on the same summary page until that page is full. Hope someone hears this and can help. I'm tearing my hair out.

Yes, it's possible, but only with a custom-made script that does it in a smarter way than Adobe's version.

As mentioned by try67, you can create a custom script that does this. The batch sequence examples provide a starting point for this at:

Is this still the case? Can you really not summarize comments on a single page like I can with a $10 PDF annotating program I bought for my iPad, without writing some computer code? I just find that remarkable. Adobe should really look at how people work when they design software. It really feels like they don't.
