Importing and exporting comments

Import Comments
Comments can be imported from a PDF document. You can also import comments from a Forms Data Format
(FDF) file or an XFDF file, which is an XML-based FDF file. You cannot open and view FDF files or XFDF files on
their own.
In the document that you want to receive comments, choose Comments > Import Comments.
1
2 Choose All Files (*.*) from the menu. If you know the file format of the comments you want to import, choose it.
Double-click the name of the document with the comments.
3
The comment positioning matches that of the file from which they were imported. If comments appear out of place,
the source and recipient PDF documents are likely different. For example, if you import comments from a ten-page
document to a two-page document, only comments from the first two pages appear.
Export comments
If you add comments to a PDF that isn't part of a managed review, you may need to export your comments to send
them to someone, or you may need to import comments you receive. (PDFs in a managed review workflow include
special options that let you send or publish your comments, rather than export them.)
When you export comments, you create a Forms Data Format (FDF) file that contains only comments. Conse­
quently, FDF files are usually smaller than PDFs. You or another reviewer can then import the comments from the
FDF file into the original PDF.
Export comments to a data file
In the PDF that contains comments, choose Comments > Export Comments To Data File.

2 Choose either Acrobat FDF Files (*.fdf) or Acrobat XFDF Files (*.xfdf) from the menu.
Name the file and specify a location for it.

Click Save to create a data file that contains only the comments.
