change font size in printed comment summary

[ericd84632580]

The font size for the printed comment summary is very small.  The font size setting in preference, comments only changes the on screen font size.  Is there a setting of the font size for printing the comment summary?

Use Create Comment Summary. That gives you additional options for setting font size. Change it to Large. Here is a brief overview: The Ins and Outs of Summarizing Comments | Adobe Document Cloud

And here is a long, very detailed explanation: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-print-a-pdf-with-comments

Thanks for sharing the link - it's very helpful, but selecting the large font will only get you to an almost readable type, but it would still be a good idea to keep a loupe handy.  Clearly it must be programmed that way, but really odd.  I tried exporting the comments to Word (the comments come in as the Segoe UI font at 7 pts! Unfortunately, the formatting is that they are in a text box, so increasing the font size means you cannot see all of the comment (without going and resizing all of the text boxes, in which case you would be better off just writing your comments in Word.  I tried exporting to Excel, but it does not create a spreadsheet in the sense you would expect (data in columns and rows), it still is putting text boxes with small fonts in the cells.  Understandable that Adobe would not have great tools for exporting to another format, but since commenting works well, it's unfortunate that printing them is is such a failure.  Since the PDF format is portable, any recommendations for 3rd-party tools that extract the comments into a usable format?

I am having the same problem... you cannot change the font size of the actual comments on the summary of comments   so small you cannot read.  I use the large when summarizing but they are still too small.  Has anyone gotten a solution for this.  I had a call back scheduled but Adobe customer support never called me back
