Integrating Comments into a Source File
The Text Edit comments can be exported as actual edits to the source Word document if you are working in
Windows and the source document was created as a tagged PDF file in Windows 2000 or newer using
PDFMaker.
Follow these steps to select and export comments from Acrobat:
1. Click the Options button on the Comments pane and choose Export Comments > To Word from the
menu.
2. Microsoft Word opens, and Acrobat displays a large dialog describing the integration process. Read
through the dialog and click OK.
3. In the Import Comments from Adobe Acrobat dialog box that opens next, choose the files and
comment import options (Figure 12.26). The name of the open PDF file is listed in the Take
comments from this PDF file field. Click Browse to locate and select a different file.
4. Click Browse to locate and select a file into which the comments will be imported. The name of the
file displays in the Place comments in this Word file field.
5. Select comments to import. You can choose among all comments, those with check marks, Text Edit
comments only, or specify a custom filter, such as filtering by author.
6. To display the edits in the Word document, leave the Turn Track Changes On Before Importing
Comments check box selected.
7. Click Continue.
