ADOBE ACROBAT 3D VERSION 8 188 User Guide 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 1 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. 3 Name the file and specify a location for it. 4 Click Save to create a data file that contains only the comments. Export selected comments 1 In the Comments list, select the comments you want to export. 2 From the Options menu in the Comments list, choose Export Selected Comments. 3 Name the file and choose Acrobat FDF Files (*.fdf) or Acrobat XFDF Files (*.xfdf) for the file type. 4 Specify a location for the file, and then click Save.
