Transfer all the comments to another same document

Hi all! I had a PDF with my comments, but somehow the PDF lost its original contents and only has my comments. Luckily, I have the exact same original PDF. So I'm thinking whether it's possible for me to move all the comments from the damaged PDF into the new PDF. Thank you for your consideration!

Sure. In the original file, go to the Comment panel and click the Options button under the Comments List section. Select "Export all to data file" and save the file locally on your computer. Then do the same in the target file, but select "Import Data File". Select the file you just saved and you're done!

    I got all the comments transferred, but with a little problem: they are all squeezed into bordered boxes, like this:

    So is there a way to kinda expand them into full displays and hide those borders?

    That's strange. It should have maintained the original display properties from the source file... Did you use the method I described above?
