Here is the same image zoomed in closer (Figure 5).įigure 5: Teeny tiny rectangle representing a comment. That rectangle is so small, it's easy to miss. There is a very tiny little rectangle at the top of the page.įigure 4: Acrobat Summarize Comments Print dialog Box.The Summarize Comments button is now dimmed.At first glance, it's the same, but look closer. Then, without any user input required, a new print dialog box (Figure 4) appears. If you click No, that essentially cancels the operation and sends you back to the print dialog box. You'll get a dialog box asking if you want to include the text of the summarized comments in the document being printed. Now click on the Summarize Comments button. Notice how there are 8 pages in this document. In the Print dialog box (Figure 2), there is a small button above the document preview: 'Summarize Comments.' There are a couple of things to take note of in this dialog box. The most obvious way to accomplish this task is to print a document with comments. The first can be found in the print dialog box. There are actually two primary ways of printing a document with comments. This article details two different ways to print a document with comments (what's in the pop-up notes) and why one of those ways is so far superior to the other. So when my client goes to print the commented document, the default setting (Document and Markups) (Figure 1) enables my client to print the markup indicators but not the actual replacement text (in the pop-up notes).

My document is filled with red strike outs, blue replacement text indicators and red drawing lines. The default print setting for Acrobat DC is to print the Document and Markups. But then comes the inevitable question: 'How do I print out the document along with the comments?' While my client and I can see the comments just fine right within Acrobat, the backstory is that someone at his or her office (the boss) wants the hard copy of the document, complete with comments. And for those people who are my direct contacts, it works! They read my instructions, perhaps watch a quick tutorial video, and they are faithfully using the commenting tools to mark up the documents I send them. In my technical publishing workflow, I have done my very best to convince my clients of the beauty and efficiency of PDF commenting.
