How can I extract or export multiple pages from a PDF for any pages containing highlighting?

Question

Reviewing very long documents (e.g., 1,000 pages) and highlighting them, in Acrobat Pro DC I need to either delete all the pages without highlighting or extract all the pages with highlighting to a new file? I've seen some posts suggesting this can be done with a Java script but I'm not a programmer. Any way to do this with out of the box functions other than manually selecting pages? Thanks

If you don't mind markers and lines on the extracted pages, consider creating a Comment Summary file. In the attached graphic:Note that the box for "Pages containing no comments" is unchecked. This excludes "clean" pages.To further narrow the number of pages, change the "Include:" selection to "Only the comments currently showing". The summary will reflect any filtering selections applied via the Comments pane.Select either layout option ending with "...on separate pages".  Their thumbnails will approximate the summary's result on left/right pages; markers on the left page and each comments detailed information on the right page.Set the other options as desired and create the summary.
