Reviews and commenting

Export comments to AutoCAD (Acrobat Pro DC on Windows)

You may have reviewers add comments to a PDF that was created from an AutoCAD drawing. If you use AutoCAD

PDFMaker to create a PDF, you can import comments into the AutoCAD drawing, rather than switch between

AutoCAD and Acrobat DC. You can import most comment types, including drawing markups, sticky notes, stamps,

and text edits.

1 Save the PDF to ensure that recently added comments are included.

2 Do one of the following:

• From the options menu in the comments list, choose Export To AutoCAD, and then specify the PDF file

and the AutoCAD file in the Import Comments dialog box.

• In AutoCAD, choose Acrobat Markups >Import Comments From AcrobatDC.

3 In the Import Comments dialog box, specify the PDF that contains the comments, specify which comments to

import, and click Continue. If you import a custom set of comments, specify the set by making sure that only the

characteristics you want are selected. You must select at least one option in each category.

Show By Reviewer Imports comments by individual reviewers.

Show By Type Imports comments by type, such as text edits or note comments.

Show By Status Imports comments by review status.

Show By Checked State Imports comments that are checked.

All imported comments appear in the Adobe Acrobat Markups layer as custom objects that you can edit, filter, or

delete.

4 To modify an imported comment (change the status, add a check mark, or modify text), right-click the comment,

choose Acrobat Comments, and then choose an option.
