Hi Eyenan and Manan,

that's my impression as well. There are some methods missing with pdfComments in InDesign.

If you are part of InDesign Prerelease you could follow and revive a discussion we had there some years ago when pdfComments were introduced with InDesign CC 2019.

Thanks Uwe for sharing information about the prerelease discussion. I will look into it but it seems if this has been brought to attention since so long without any redressal then it might languish a bit more.

Maybe something like the following

app.documents[0].pdfComents.everyItem().changeStatus(CommentStatusEnum.RESOLVED_STATUS)

P.S.:- I have not tested this

Thanks Manan.

The comment was resolved but not "Accepted"(Not applied on layout page).

I need to update on layout page also.

I've attached sample i/p and o/p FYR.

Then it seems this is not possible via scripting. I can't see any other property or method of interest that can be used. See the following

Maybe someone else will chime in with some insights.
