Show or hide comments
You can hide or show comments based on type, reviewer (author), status, or checked state. Hiding comments is also
called filtering. Filtering affects the appearance of comments in both the document window and the Comments list.
When you print or summarize comments, you can specify whether hidden comments are printed or summarized.
When you hide a note comment that has been replied to, all other replies in the thread are hidden as well.
Note: In an email-based review, hidden comments aren’t included when you send the comments to the initiator.
❖
From the Show menu
in the Comments list, do one of the following:
•
To show all comments, choose Show All Comments.
•
To hide all comments, choose Hide All Comments.
•
To filter comments, choose the categories that you want to appear. For example, if you want only note comments
that you haven’t checked to appear, choose Show By Type > Notes so that only the note comments appear, and then
choose Show By Checked State > Unchecked so that only unchecked note comments appear.
•
To reverse a filter, choose the All command for hidden categories. For example, if you filtered comments so that
only those by a certain reviewer appear, choose Show
> Show By Reviewer
> All Reviewers.
Reply to comments
Note: In Reader, commenting features are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review
workflow typically include commenting rights.
Replies to comments are especially useful in shared reviews, when participants can read each other’s comments. They
can also be used by review initiators to let reviewers know how their suggestions are being implemented. When one or
more reviewers reply to a comment, the set of replies is called a thread. All replies in a thread appear in the pop-up
note and in the Comments list. Replies are indented below the original comment. The number of replies that a
comment has received appears in a box when you place the pointer over the comment.
Replies appear directly below the comment, in the pop-up note and in the Comments list.
