Copying comments from one PDF to another PDF in Acrobat Pro

I used to be able to click on a comment bubble then copy and then paste into a new document (new version of same document edited that needs to go to a 3rd party). It would retain who originated the comment. Now, the only way to transfer comments is to open the comment box, select text, copy, create a new comment box in the newer version, and then paste, and that loses attribution to who added a query initially. Why was that functionality taken away? Is there a better way to do this? I usually only need to copy 1 or two comments and not every time, so export/import comments seems arduous -- easier to copy and paste text.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try to replace the pages of the old PDF with thos of the new one. The comments should remain.

Thanks! I didn't know you could do that. I will try it. Though, this may be the same as the export/import option. Most of the comments will need to be deleted and only 1 or 2 saved, so I have to just weigh which is the easiest -- copy/paste a couple of comments or delete a bunch of comments. I wish they didn't take the functionality of copying a single comment to a new document away.

Thanks again! It is easier than export/import in that I don't have put a temporary export file somewhere. 😊
