Printing multiple comments on one page

I have a 12 page document with only 1 or 2 comments per page. The "Print Comments Summary" function forces separate pages for each design page of comment. Any way to print the content of the summary viewer. Having only 1 comment on 12 sheets is a waste of space and paper.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

You can use JavaScript to create the report of the comments and you will be able to control the page breaks. See the [url]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.php]Acrobat JavaScript] Reference and look at the example for the "writeText" method of the "report" object.

This problem has been plaguing me as well. Can you be more specific on where I can find the javascript you mention? I've looked and cant find. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0

Thanks

Have you looked under the 'Advanced" menu item?

There should be a Debugger/JavaScript Console, Document Level JavaScripts, Document Actions and for pages there are page actions. Under the "Edit => Preferences" one can specify what program to use as an editor or use the defualt Acrobat editor.[url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.php#pag600]Acrobat JavaScript Reference[/url]

You have to write your own code. For an example of how to create a report of annotations see the example under the "Report" object for the "writeText" method.
