Printing Pop-Up Comments In Adobe Reader 10

I am trying to print a PDF so that the text of my comments in pop-ups is printed in a list. This is called "printing a comment summary." Instructions begin on p. 3 of the item which is at

https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-comments-acrobat-reader.html.

I followed the directions, and, to be sure, the printed list includes text of the few comments I made on my test page.

BUT, the list ALSO INCLUDES fifteen items that are NOT comments. Each of these is preceded on the list with a "T," and is numbered (in the same list the comments are reported), followed by something like "Author  Date 11/1/2017 5:41:02 PM - 05'00'"

On the page of actual text, there are lots of positioned little squares with numerals inside them, which, apparently, correspond to the numbered items in the list. There is no commonality that I can see among these items.

All I want is the list and text of the comments! If I printed them not in summary (list) form, they would overlap with text.

A colleague suggested that when the document was converted to PDF from Word Perfect (would have happened as well if I had begun in MS Word), it is likely that certain codes did not transfer. The little squares on the text with numbers in them, which are subsequently listed in the comment summary, likely mark where that has happened.

Is there a way in Reader 10 to accomplish what I want to accomplish?

    Hi Bensdadmike,

    I am afraid that is not possible.

    Even if you Acrobat and choose export comments only from the file. They will be exported as you have seen printed.
