After recording the last lesson, I created several more comments in the document, and exported them as separate FDF files to give you a feel for what you might experience if you were reviewing a document with several colleagues within your organization, and you were receiving the comments back as FDF files, via either e-mail or as FDF files are very small perhaps on a floppy disk. And once you have amassed all of your FDF files that you want to incorporate within the document, simply choose document, import comments, and you can import several FDF files at once by holding down the shift key and clicking the documents to select them and then click select, and Acrobat begins importing the FDF files. Now, if you are importing an FDF file that contains comments from a different version of the document, you'll receive this warning dialog. You may indeed receive this warning dialog because, perhaps you have saved the original version of the document under a different file name or saved this version under a different file name to archive the original version and then have this as a working version. So I'm just going to click yes and Acrobat will import all the comments. I'm going to revert to the original version of the document. Remember, revert is a handy command if you are making a bunch of edits and you make some mistakes, and you want to delete all of the changes you have made since previously saving the document. In this case I'm reverting because I want to show you another way to import comments. You can import comments through the comments tab. And you click the comments title to open the comments tab and from the options menu choose import comments. And then when you click select, Acrobat imports all of the comments, and you can view them from within the comments tab, and select them from within the comments tab as noted in previous lessons. And there is one more thing you could do when you have amassed several comments from different users. In the options menu you have a command that enables you to summarize comments. And when you choose this command, the summarize options dialog box appears, and you could save the document and comments with connector lines on separate pages, document and comments with connector lines on single pages, comments only or the document and comments with sequence numbers on separate pages. And you can choose how to sort the comments, include all comments, only the comments currently showing and choose the font style for the comments. Then when you click OK, Acrobat creates a new document based on the options you chose, and you see on page 1 they are displayed side by side. Page 1, there’s a summary of the comments page 2 a summary of the comments, page 3, page 4 and page 5 and so on. And you'd probably see this is noted as summary of comments on commenting and review. You could save the document under this file name or under a different file name. And it is a handy way to keep track of comments from different users.
