When exporting comments from a PDF it gives the option to 'exported selected comments'. So I select them and click export. then when I import them into another PDF ...ALL the comments come in. Is there something simple im missing?

Have you selected the comments?

Yes, I don't see that they are selected. Filtering isn't selecting. Strictly speaking it should export ZERO comments in this case.

Hi Clint5EBA,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please ensure you are using the steps suggested in the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/importing-exporting-comments.html.

If you still experience the issue, share the steps you do. It would be helpful if you could share the screenshot or screen recording of the workflow.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hey MeenakshiNegi

yes I followed those instructions when I did it. I tried again and carefully checked and it still happened. Screens shots below. Note the original number of comments is 45. When I filter for mine it is only 7, yet the last shot shows 45 comments back in again.
