OK. The last thing that we'll have a look at here with your comments; I hope you're enjoying this section on commenting inside Acrobat. The last thing that we'll take a look at is summarizing the comments that you have inside your PDF File and that's found underneath the last icon inside the Comments List, way up at the top, right corner there. I'm going to pop this guy open. What I'm going to show you is the Comments Summary. Now, you can also print out a Comments Summary. You might want to explore that on your own. But I'm going to show you this Create PDF of Comments Summary. So it's going to create a brand-new PDF for us, which is going to contain a summary of all of our comments. So I'm going to choose this guy here. I get this dialog box here. There's a few neat options here. I can decide first of all on the Layout Style. Give me the document and the comments with connector lines on separate pages, like that. Give me the document and the comments with connector lines on a single page, like that. Just give me the comments, which I kind of like. Give me the document and the comments with sequential numbering on separate pages. So you can go with whatever format, whatever style you like. It's completely up to you. I'll go with the second guy here as an example. What paper size do you want, how do you want to sort your comments? By page, by type, by author, that sort of thing. What font size do you want to use? You kind of get the idea here. So let's go for it. I'm going to click on Create PDF Comments Summary. It might just take a moment here to create. Alright, let's have a look at what got created for us. I'll zoom in a little bit. You can see my comments and my connector lines there and, of course, the text inside each of my comments, including the replies as well. Isn't that nice? And, of course, the date, the time and who created the comment as well and you'll see this throughout the entire summarized PDF File containing all of your comments there. Now, you know what's kind of weird here is sometimes when I show this, people go look what it did to my PDF. It totally trashed my PDF, completely changed it. Well, you're not inside the original PDF. You're inside a new PDF. Check out the file name across the top there: Summary of Comments on and then whatever your original file name was. If I hide this guy, if I minimize this guy, there's my original PDF down in the background there. In fact, I can collapse my Comment List here and that's where we started. This is where everything started from. So you're creating a brand-new PDF File and, of course, you can take that summary PDF File and archive it or email it or whatever the heck you want to do; print it off and then work through your original document making all the changes. So there's a look at working with comments inside Acrobat. You saw how to create your comments, you saw how to manage your comments, add in the sticky notes, add in the drawing markups, the whole nine yards and, of course, how to import and export your comments and summarize them.
