How do I extract pages with comments only?

Post by freelance »

Hi, and thank you for your great product,

My question is simple: when I make comments on a, let's say, 100 hundred pages documents, and make comments on 42 pages, when I choose the "Extract" option, I have to manually type the number of each of these commented pages before extracting them. 1, 2, 5, 10-17, 22, etc. Quite boring. And you can always make an error.

Am I missing something? Is there a "extract only commented pages" I do not see? Or is it normal?

Thank you for your response.

(NOTE: english's not my first language. Please forgive any mistake.)

Hello freelance,

Welcome to our forums and thanks for your enquiry.
You can run a small script as discussed here:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3 ... ed#p110440
That will remove all pages that do not have comments on them - and you can then easily save the result as a new file.
Further down that same topic is another snippet of code that shows you how to make a button out of that script - so that you can add this as a toolbar item.

Regards,
Stefan

Oh, I searched for a similar answer with no luck, silly me...

Thank your for your response, Stefan. It is much appreciated. :)

I really hope, though, that in the future the option will be included in the software, with no "tweaks" required.

Best regards.

Glad I could assist freelance,

And that tweak is only needed once - then you have the button in the toolbar ready for use! :)

Cheers,
Stefan
