Is there a way to change the font color of multiple Comments?

[eatspoopdaily]

Adobe sucks with regards to user friendliness and ease of use. Now that I have that out of the way...
Is there a way I can select and change the color of multiple (977) text comments on my Comments List other than having to select every single one at a time and change the color one at a time?

Select the comments you want to edit, right-click one of them, select Properties, change its color and it will be applied to all the selected comments at the same time.

No, that is incorrect.

I would like to be able to change the font colors all at once without having to select, highlight, and then change the font color individually for each and every one of the 977 comments, or as I stated in my original post, "change the color of multiple (977) text comments on my Comments List."

Your suggestion only allows me to edit the Border color, and/or the Fill color.

Still looking for a solution, is there someone else out there that has been able to accomplish bulk font color changes?

Thank you.

Ah, the font color of a free text comment... That's something else. It can only be done using a script.

Thank you, try67. I appreciate your help.

I have so far tried several that I found on the internet, and to no avail. Scripting is not something I am able to do yet, I just don't know how.

A button would be nice, but it's Adobe and that would be too easy.

Came across this one:

var newTextColor = color.black;

this.syncAnnotScan();

var annots = this.getAnnots();

for (var i in annots) {

    var annot = annots;

    if (annot.type!="FreeText") continue;

    var spans = new Array();

    spans[0] = new Object();

    spans[0].text = annot.contents;

    spans[0].textColor = newTextColor;

    spans[0].textSize = annot.textSize;

    spans[0].textFont = annot.textFont;

    annot.richContents = spans;

}

...but it doesn't work. And the answer was voted best for the same question, go figure. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Anyway, thanks for trying.

That script should work... Do you know how to run it? What happens when you do?
