Hi There!

I am a research student currently working on two projects.

1. Molecular Characterization of A.baumannii

2. Calathea Homeostasis

Now issue is this that i have read and highlighted over 23 documents with important point for my research on Calathea orbifolia and A.baumannii. 

Is there any way to extract all highlighted in one scoop.

Please is there any way next version of reader have this feature it will be blessing.

Did you enable the option to copy the selected text into the highlights? If so, you can use the Summarize Comments command from the Print dialog:

If you didn't, I strongly recommend you do it now (under Edit - Preferences - Commenting).

It will only apply to comments you create from this moment on, though.

For past comments you can retroactively copy the selected text into them using this (paid-for) tool I've developed: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-retroactively-copy-highlighted-text-into-comments

And you could use this other (also paid-for) tool to generate a more compact comments summary in Reader:

This feature is not available in Acrobat Reader.

You're right... Very silly restriction, which makes the Summarize Comments command practically useless.

So I think your tool has a future!
