How can I delete all Sticky Notes whilst retaining highlights from flattened comments?

Post by chrisjj »

I've tried both these:

and this:

but all wipe the highlights too. :(

Workaround: In PDF XChange Editor, manually delete, using:

Comments list, CTRL+A, Delete.

Thanks.

Hello, chrisjj

Highlights are classified as comments (and annotations as the terms are interchangeable). If the comments have not been flattened into base content objects, using the "flatten comments" tool, they will be affected by these tools.
