Hi,
I hope this is an easy one.
We have users that are reviewing documents and commenting. They have to not only add a comment, but also have to draw lines and arrows to a specific place on a map, etc.
Each one of these is listed as a comment. Is there a way to summarize into one? It is creating dozens of comments on a document, when in reality, there is only 4 or 5.
Thank you.
Any feature used from the Comment & Markup menu places a discrete Annotation on the PDF's page.
If review01 uses a sticky note, a stamp, a callout, and an arrow then 4 Annotations now exist on the page.
If a total of 5 reviewers do this then there are 5 x 4 = 20 Annotations on the page.
Often use of some Annotations (i.e., an arrow or line) will have no text associated with it.
If a Summary Report is configured to show connectors between document and comment (the Annotation)
there will be no text in the "comment" portion of the report. If this is an issue, then reviewers must
regularly put something in the "pop up note" field.
You can sort the Annotations various ways (author, page, date, or type) for a Summary Report.
Regardless, you still have a population of 20 Annotations.
The "Annotation" is the parent.
The sort categories are children of this parent; consequently, they do not establish the total population count.
Be well...
