Batch edit properties of selected comments

[sinišaj7149126]

Hi!

I have a PDF with 40 + comments. I would like to batch edit properties (Author to be exact) on the selected comments, not on all of them. I did found a very useful post on how to batch edit comment properties on all comments but not on the selection. Is this possible at all?

I don't have any experience with JS Console but I'm willing to learn.

Thank you in advance!

You can do it using this code, executed from the JS Console:

var selAnnots = this.selectedAnnots;
if (selAnnots!=null) {
	for (var i in selAnnots) {
		selAnnots[i].author = "John";
	}
}
