Summarize Comments In Single Page

In the Standard version, the "Comments => Print with Comments Summary" or "Ctrl+T" allows four different options. You might want to look at the last 2, "Comments only" or "Docuemnts and comments with sequence numbers on separate pages". The number of pages will depend on the the number of comments.

I've tried all possible options including the 'Comment Only...' which prints each comment on each pages. I have 50 comments on a 50-page document, one comment on each page. When I print using the 'Comment Only...' option, I get 50 printout, each page contain one comment, where each comment is only 1-2 lines long. Lot of wasted paper, especially when I do a peer review of 10 people or more. Imagine having to print 500 pages for a meeting every time. We used to be able to print all 50 comments in 3 pages (where multiple comments can be filled up in a single page). We lost this functionality when going to Adobe 7. Again, maybe I miss something. If any experts have a solution, please advice. Thanks much.

You can use JavaScript and the Report object to create you own report. The Acrobat JS Api has an example of using the Report object to summarize by author without forced page breaks, but the could be easily changed to sort and print by page.

This is the same problem I am having in Acrobat 9. I know these posts were a long while ago, but if anyone is listening to this thread, and has a comprehensible fix, I would appreciate it. (I do not even begin to understand gkaiseril's response.)

Actually I'm a solo user. The original poster was clearly in an enterprise situation. Not me.

Printing comments and markup to a PDF or to paper will always result in multiple pages.
Comments and Markup annotations, when applied, are associated with a specific page of PDF page content or specific content within a specific page. Consequently, the "report" reflects this PDF page dependency.
With that said, it is possible to do some additional processing.

If the PDF is a Tagged PDF, comments can be exported to Word.
If you create a PDF of Comments Summary, the comments may be exported to a delimited file.
This delimited file can be opened with Excel.
You could use the Batch Sequence "Comments to tab-delimited file".
Another Batch Sequence permits you to summarize comments from selected documents (PDFs).

For Acrobat 9, under heading "JAVASCRIPT FOR ACROBAT" there is a link to Batch Sequences.
The link is to Adobe's LiveDocs.

Scroll to the bottom of the page (link above) to see Acrobat 8 documentation.
Download the "Batch sequences" PDF for reading and study.
Download the "batcseq.zip" file - extract the example sequences.
Some are ready to go. Some need your input. The Batch Sequence PDF discusses all the example sequences in the ZIP file.
At least one of the Bookmark related sequences will not work in Acrobat 9 (as has been discussed here at AUC - use forum search to look for "batch sequence").
However, "Comments to tab-delimited file" is a sequence that works in Acrobat 8 Pro and 9 Pro.
Review the discussion on this sequence in the Batch Sequences documentation prior to use.

Be well...

Thank you for your reply, dak. Before I attempt to execute this, one question: will it work on a Macintosh computer?

As I work out of Windows I've no hands-on run time with the Mac OS.
From a look at the front matter for the Batch Sequence document, LiveDocs for Acrobat 8 & 9 Pro, & Rick Borstein's acrolaw blog the answer is yes, batch sequences work in the Mac OS.Be well...

Thank you daka630. I have not had a chance to experiment with the suggestion. But I will.

It doesn't have to. It's possible to create a custom-made script that doesn't divide the comments by page.
