I want to export the text comments in the pdf file to an excel file

Question

Hi all,

The company I'm working for is using Adobe Acrobat (now using XI) for commenting the documents and drawings files. I would like to know, how we can export the text in the comments from pdf file to excel file; instead of copy & past the contents manually. To be more precise i need following information to be exported; comment text, commented user name, page no and date.

Could you please help me with any macro or tools to do this?

This can be achieved using a custom-made script. I've developed similar tools in the past so if you're interested in such a script contact me privately and we could discuss the details.
