Automate printing comment summary?

I frequently have dozens of pdfs that I need to print the comment summaries on. I have the extract commented pages script and it is very helpful, but I would like to automate the next step - printing the summary.  Using Acrobat DC on a Mac

Thank you!

If you use JS to generate the comment summary, instead of using the built-in command, then you could also print it.

I am using a script for the extract the commented pages Extract_Commented_Pages.sequ found at:

https://acrobatusers.com/assets/uploads/actions/Extract_Commented_Pages.pdf

Is there a way to add in the print to it?

I am running the script on a folder containing the pdfs and saving the commented pdfs files to a different folder.

I have been searching for a script that would print only the comment summary but no luck finding one and I am not savvy enough to script it myself!

Thank you

I've developed a script that generates a comment summary: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat - Create Comments Summary (TXT/PDF)

I can adjust it quite easily so that it also prints the file after it is generated.
