How to remove timestamp or batch edit all comments

[jasmine b.r34941782]

Hello! There's a dated forum about this already and the advice "Right click, choose PROPERTIES > GENERAL > AUTHOR. Type (or retype) your name there." doesn't work anymore in Acrobat DC. I was wondering if there was a way I can batch edit all my comments to make them have the same time (which would make it significantly easier to Find & Replace in Word) or disconnect the app from my time altogether? I'm using the extracted comments to compile key information from different sources for my RRL so the timestamp feature is useless for me.

There's no reason what was described there shouldn't still work, but only for the properties you can edit directly, such as Author.

What you described can be done using a script, but only for the Modification Date property, as the Creation Date one is read-only.

To do that you can use the following code (from the JS Console, a Custom Command or even a button in the file itself):

var now = new Date();
this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
if (annots!=null) {
	for (var i in annots) {
		var annot = annots[i];
		annot.setProps({modDate: now});
	}
}
