Reviews and commenting
Last updated 1/14/2015
Text comments that reference particular words, such as highlights, cross-outs, and insertion carets, appear within the
word grouping where they were originally placed. Drawing markups and sticky notes appear in the same structural
location as they did in the original document. Circle, polygon, rectangle, and stamp comments always appear on the
same page as the original document.
If the revised PDF no longer contains the original word groupings or logical structure order that the comment
references, the migrated comment appears on the same page as the original document (or on the last page if the
referenced page doesn’t exist). In this case, text edits are converted to note comments.

2
In the revised PDF, choose Comments > Migrate Comments.
3
Choose the original PDF from the From menu, and click OK.
❖
In the Comments list, select the comment, click the Set Status button
, and choose Migration > [status].
Export comments to AutoCAD (Acrobat Pro on Windows)
You may have reviewers add comments to a PDF that was created from an AutoCAD drawing. If you use AutoCAD
PDFMaker to create a PDF, you can import comments into the AutoCAD drawing, rather than switch between
AutoCAD and Acrobat. You can import most comment types, including drawing markups, sticky notes, stamps, and
text edits.
1
Save the PDF to ensure that recently added comments are included.
2
Do one of the following:
• From the options menu
in the Comments List, choose Export To AutoCAD, and then specify the PDF file
and the AutoCAD file in the Import Comments dialog box.
• In AutoCAD, choose Acrobat Markups >Import Comments From Acrobat.
3
In the Import Comments dialog box, specify the PDF that contains the comments, specify which comments to
import, and click Continue. If you import a custom set of comments, specify the set by making sure that only the
characteristics you want are selected. You must select at least one option in each category.
Show By Reviewer
Imports comments by individual reviewers.
Show By Type
Imports comments by type, such as text edits or note comments.
Show By Status

All imported comments appear in the Adobe Acrobat Markups layer as custom objects that you can edit, filter, or
delete.
4
To modify an imported comment (change the status, add a check mark, or modify text), right-click the comment,
choose Acrobat Comments, and then choose an option.
