Print a comment summary

Summarizing comments is a convenient way to get a synopsis of all the comments associated with a PDF. When you summarize comments, you can either create a new PDF with comments that you can print, or you can print the summary directly. The summary is neither associated with nor linked to the PDF that the comments are derived from.

Page layout options for comment summaries

A.: Document and comments with connector lines on single page
B.: Document and comments with connector lines on separate pages
C.: Comments only
D.: Document and comments with sequence numbers

By default, Acrobat prints PDFs with any stamps that were applied. For the greatest control over how comments are printed, choose Comments > Print With Comments Summary.

Filter the comments to show only those you want in the summary. (In the Comments List, click the Show button and choose the categories of comments you want to show.)
For the greatest control over how comments are printed, choose Comments > Print With Comments Summary. Alternatively, to create a separate PDF of the comments, do one of the following:
- Choose Comments > Summarize Comments.
- Choose Summarize Comments from the Options menu in the Comments List.
In the Summarize Options dialog box, do the following, and then click OK:
- Choose a layout for the document and comments. The layout determines available options.
- Choose how to sort the comments.
- Specify a page range and choose whether to include pages without comments.
- Select whether you want all comments to appear in the summary or only the comments that currently appear.
Do one of the following:
- Click Print Comment Summary, and click OK. (This option appears only if you chose the Print With Comments Summary command.)
- Click Create PDF Comment Summary.
To print or summarize comments directly without opening the Summarize Options dialog box, click the Print Comments button in the Comments List toolbar, and choose Print Comments Summary or Create PDF Of Comments Summary.
