Adobe ACROBAT 9 HOW-TOS Manual page 214

Is That Confirmed?
Sometimes the placement of text edit comments can't be confirmed in a source
Word document; this occurs when Acrobat can't precisely decipher the struc-
ture of the source document's tags. Unconfirmed placements are available in
a list in the Successful Import dialog. Click the View List button to see a list of
the comments that have unconfirmed placements. In the document you see
comments added where Acrobat thinks the comments belong. You can transfer
the information from these comments to the document and delete the Word
comments.
Birds Migrate, So Why Not Comments?
Suppose you have created a document and then added comments to it. Then
suppose you either exported text edits and other comments from Acrobat
and integrated them into the source Word document, or revised the source
document and then generated a new PDF document. Acrobat 9 lets you add
comments to a revised version of a document, as long as the document is
tagged (read about tagging a document in Chapter 6, "Complying with PDF
and Accessibility Standards").
Open the two documents in Acrobat, and then perform these steps:
1. With the document you want to add comments to active, choose Com-
ments > Migrate Comments to open the Migrate Comments dialog.
2. In the From pop-up menu, choose the file containing the comments. The
"Review migrated comments in the Comments List" check box is selected by
default; leave this setting.
3. Click OK. The comments are imported into the PDF document and placed in
the same locations as those in the document you are exporting from.
The comments may or may not appear in the same location in both documents,
depending on the contents of the respective files. For example, a migrated Text
Strikethrough comment won't show in a file where the text has been deleted.
Once the comments have been migrated into a document, they are included in
the Comments List using the default Migration options.

Often you develop
commenting systems,
particularly in large
organizations. Acro-
bat lets you design a
custom set of comment-
conversion options.
Choose Custom Set and
then filter the comments
you want to export to
Word. The filter can be
based on the author,
status, or check mark.
