Export comments to Word (Windows)
In some instances, reviewers make comments in a PDF that was created from a Microsoft Word document. You can
revise the original Word document by exporting these comments from the PDF. For example, text that has been
inserted, crossed out, or replaced using the text edit tools in the PDF can be deleted or transferred directly to the
source Word document. Formatting added to comments (for example, boldface text) is lost during this process and
must be added to the Word document manually.
To revise a Word document using comments, you must create a tagged PDF from the Word document. Before you
transfer text edits from the PDF, remove any extra words or information and then merge them to one PDF (if you
have comments from multiple reviewers). If you plan to import comments more than once, you may want to make
a copy of the Word document before you import the comments or comments may not be imported correctly.
