Is there a way to track the location of a comment on a PDF?

I want to be able to keep track of where there are comments on a PDF. Is it stored anywhere within Adobe (in a metadata file etc)?

It's stored within the file, of course. Every comment's location is defined by something called a rect or by quads, depending on its type, as well as a page property.

These properties can be accessed using a script, for example.
