The Create Comment Summary Action, available through the Actions Exchange at adobeusers.com, allows users to export comments from pdf(s) to Excel-readable CSV format: http://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/create-comment-summary
This is a great tool, but could be improved by grouping actions related to the same comment on single rows, rather than create a new row for each action. Does anyone have any ideas as to how this could be achieved? See example scenario below:
Comments are made in a pdf:
Create Comment Summary Action tool generates the following in Excel:
The information is accurate, but isn't very helpful for large documents with many comments because there is no way to group actions by comment and determine which have been addressed and how they were responded to. In other words, responses and actions are not linked to the original comment.
Ideally, there would be an option to export the comments to a format similar to this:
Responses and actions are on the same row as the original comment, which allows for easy sorting and comprehension. Obviously there would be additional details to think through, but is this possible?
Thanks!
