Question

Can Acrobat's preflight check if a PDF contains any comments?

We often receive PDF files from clients who add comments for printing purposes. However, since they are not familiar with the printing and prepress process, these comments sometimes cause issues. To ensure smooth processing, we would like to check if the files contain any comments. If comments are present, we would like to return the files to the clients and request them to redo the files without comments. Could you please let me know if there is an option in Acrobat's preflight that can check for the presence of comments in a file?


Thank you for your assistance!
