How to Delete Comments by One User Only?

[TheTooleMan]

Two people have added highlights, comments, and sticky notes to a PDF. There are 1,323 comments in the document, 90% of which were entered by "Jack." I want to remove Jack's comments, but the "Delete" function is unavailable for their marks. How can I clean up this document so that only the other person's highlights and comments remain?

Are Jack's comments locked? 

Please post a screenshot of one of his comments as well as the menu where you are trying to delete it from.

Hi There,

The comments might be locked/read only. Could you please run the following snippet in JS debugger and then try deleting that user's comments?

this.syncAnnotScan();

var annots = this.getAnnots();

for(var i=0; i<annots.length; i++){

      annots[i].readOnly=false;

      annots[i].lock=false;

}

For running the JS degbugger, you may need to “Enable JavaScript” and “Enable Interactive Console” in Preferences=>JavaScript.

Regards,

Arvind
