Import comments to a revised PDF
To import new or unresolved comments to a PDF after the document has been revised, use the Migrate Comments
feature. This feature attempts to place comments in the correct location by searching specific word groupings and
structural elements in the revised PDF.
Note:
Results may be less reliable in untagged PDFs, which lack the internal structure necessary to correctly place
imported comments in a revised document.
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 struc
tural 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 refer
ences, the migrated comment appears on the same page as the original document (or on the last page if the refer
enced page doesn’t exist). In this case, text edits are converted to note comments.
