In Acrobat 9, I could print a comment summary of a LTR sized document onto horizontal tabloid (11x17) pages, and have a nearly full-sized copy of the document page on the left and the comments on the right half with connector lines.
These are VERY useful for making corrections and keeping track of which corrections have been made and documenting who did what. Sometimes you just need to have a paper trail.
Ever since Acrobat X that is nearly impossible to do. If I choose "Print with comment summary" from the little flyout menu at the right of the Comments panel, I get few options and can't see what will come out of the printer before I print.
So instead I have to first Create a Comment Summary, which is a separate PDF, and even then I cannot create that the way I want - if I choose tabloid paper, and then go through all the options to select the comments with connector lines on a single page, and the line color & transparency of the lines, and then use page setup to choose tabloid horizontal paper, I still wind up with a comment summary on vertical tabloid pages, and the document pages and comments are tiny, in the middle of a huge empty page.
The only way I have gotten this to come close to what I used to be able to do is to go through the above rigamarole, and then in the new comment summary PDF, I use the crop tool to select just the page and the comments and crop out the rest. This takes a few steps, but I can crop out all pages at once. Then, I can print that newly cropped page on tabloid (with fit to page) and get something sorta close to what I used to get. But it takes WAY too much work to make it worth doing most of the time.
Also, every time I go to make a comment summary, I have to select all my options over again. None of them are saved - not the line color, the transparency, not which pages to print, or the fact that I want comments on the same page as the document with connector lines. I would really like to have a preset that I can use for this.
In Acrobat 9 I had a single keystroke that did all of this exactly the way I liked it.
Is there a way to do this in Acrobat XI?
