How to replace a prior file with a new one, without losing my edits on the prior

[dario35855641osfn]

I have a pdf of a law which I have edited (I added color highlights and comments). The law has been updated and articles have been added, so I'd like to replace the prior one with the new one but keeping my edits on the prior one.

Two options:

- Use the Replace Pages command on the old file and select the pages from the new file. This will keep all of your existing comments in tact.

- Export the comments to an external FDF file, then import that file into the new file to generate the comments in it.

I think the latter is a better option, as it will also create a backup of your existing comments, just in case.

However, keep in mind that in both options the comments will be re-created in exactly the same locations as they appeared in the original file. So if some text moved when you redesigned the file, the comments over that text (such as a Highlight) will no longer be over it in the new version.
