Show or hide comments
You can hide or show comments based on type, reviewer (author), status, or checked state. Hiding comments is also
called filtering. Filtering affects the appearance of comments in both the document window and the Comments List.
When you print or summarize comments, you can specify whether hidden comments are printed or summarized.
When you hide a note comment that has been replied to, all other replies in the thread are hidden as well.
Note: In an email-based review, hidden comments aren't included when you send the comments to the initiator.

To reverse a filter, choose the All command for hidden categories. For example, if you filtered comments so that
only those by a certain reviewer appear, choose Show > Show By Reviewer > All Reviewers.
Reply to comments
Commenting features are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow
typically include commenting rights.
Replies to comments are especially useful in shared and browser-based reviews, when participants can read each
others' comments. They can also be used by review initiators to let reviewers know how their suggestions are being
implemented. When one or more reviewers reply to a comment, the set of replies is called a thread. All replies in a
thread appear in the pop-up note and in the Comments List. Replies are indented below the original comment. The
number of replies that a comment has received appears in a box when you place the pointer over the comment.
