I am not able to find this option . please give me the exact path how to change this. I was trying to export comments from pdf - it gives me error message : When the pdf was created the content in it was not tagged.  Exporting comments will only work if the PDF is tagged PDF.

PDF is not tagged When the PDF was created, the content in it was not Tagged.
Exporting comments into a Word document will only work if the PDF is a tagged
PDF. To create a tagged PDF, you must select "Change Conversion Settings" from the
"Adobe PDF" menu, and check the box labeled "Enable accessibility and reflow with
Tagged PDF."

    Correct answer JR Boulay

    You should try to "Autotag" the PDF document using Acrobat Pro, before exporting Comments:

      Thanks JR Boulay ! This works! 

      is there any possibility that the comments can be adjusted a little bit to the left? is that adjustable?

      screenshot attached. ( The screenshot is after exporting the comments to the word document ).

      No This is from word ( i.e when I first open the word and then export the pdf to the word , I am looking at the other way around ,i.e open pdf then go to comments and then export to word - which I normally do. , I am looking for export from Adobe. Refer to the screenshot. what I do for this error?
