Annotation sort order of export

Post by reinierkops »

When I export the annotation of a specified document, the order of the annotation, is not the same order as the UI represent. And it's not the "read order".

I want the annotations will be exported in read-order.

Are you talking about "Export Comments To Data file" or about "Summarize Comments" ?

When you're summarizing comments you may sort annotations by Page, Type, Author, Date, Subject. In PDF there is no such thing as "read ordered".

If you can see in the attached documents, in the screenshot the order of the annotations is:
1) Congratualtions.....
2) We strongly.....
3) Address service .....
4) Always store.....
5) The guitar.....

The order in the textfile is:

1) We strongly....
2) Always store ...
3) The guitar .....
4) Adress service ...
5) Congratulations .....

Why is this order different. If I summarize this PDF in adobe PRO 9, then it will be sorted by timestamp.

Sorry for the slow response.
But still have you tried to sort comments by date? I don’t see any problems with that..
