Remove line breaks in comments

[9854123]

I like to copy text in highlighted passages so they're easier to copy and reference.  But when I do that, the comments also include the line breaks, making them harder to read/copy. 

Is there anyway (either through Acrobat itself or a javascript code) that can remove the line breaks in the comments? 

Note: It's not necessary but it would be great to also select which line breaks are removed.  For example, I don't want to remove line breaks follewed by a "-" because I use them for notes.

Ex: "Long quote from" [line break 1]  "the PDF that goes over one line" [line break 2] 

- notes about the quote I just highlighted

I don't want to remove those line break 2, ones I inserted myself

You can do it by running this code from the JS Console:

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
if (annots!=null) {
	for (var i in annots) {
		var annot = annots[i];
		annot.contents = annot.contents.replace(/\r([^-])/g, " $1"));
	}
}

Thanks for the answer! I tried the JS code but I'm getting back an error:

SyntaxError: syntax error
1:Console:Exec
undefined

Any way I can fix this? I don't know much about coding

Thanks!

Did you select the full code before running it?
