Adobe 9 Pro: Total number of comments

[Karthick31306290lwm6]

Dear All,

We have Adobe 9 Pro. We need to review the author's corrections on a PDF which are given as comments. We used to get the total number of comments in other adobe versions but in 9 pro, we are not able to see it. Could you please guide me as to how to get this information.

Regards

Karthick

At the top-right corner of the Comments panel, I click on the elipsis (3dots ...) and ask to print the Comment Summary - As a pdf. I find this feature really useful to track comments and actions completion.

Dear Eric,

Many thanks for your input. Is there any way to find out the total number
of comments?

In other versions of Adobe, I can see this but not in Adobe 9 pro.

Regards
Karthick

It should appear in the title of the Comments List, in parentheses:

yeah, normally it should, however, it doesn't in the case of Adobe 9 pro 😞

Maybe it was added later on. You can also do it using this code, which can be executed from the JS Console, a button field or attached to a menu item:

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
if (annots!=null) {
	app.alert("There are " + annots.length + " comments in this file.",3);
} else app.alert("There are 0 comments in this file.",3);
