Subject:Comments lost from Word to PDF From:Linda Harrison <magdalen2000 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 17 Apr 2002 10:58:24 -0700 (PDT)
QUESTION: i've had it with searching the archives for this, so i'm posting here. i created a
short, 2-page Word doc and "PDFed" it to see if it would retain the comments. but no. the
comments are either gone altogether, or there's a notation right after the comment like [LMH1] and
the full text of the comment on a separate page. these appear to be the only options i can choose
for once i go to the print screen.
is there any way that the PDF will retain the comment as it is in Word, so that when you put the
cursor on the text that has the comment, the little window opens and shows the comment? or is my
only option to have the comment on a separate page? is there an edit that i have to perform in
PDF to recreate the comment?
once again, i'm on digest so if you could please send your replys to me at magdalen2000 -at- yahoo -dot- com,
i would really appreciate it.
thanks. you guys are a very helpful bunch.
linda
