"summerize comments" and "show comments" stoped working

Post by csofer »

I installed windows 7 recently and since then I have problems summarizing comments and exporting to either word (2010) AND PDF.

what I usually do is as follows:
1. review the pdf document and mark the important paragraphs ( highlighting)
2. use the "show comments" feature to review all comments or "summarize comments" to export to another file.
3. The problem is that the content of the highlighted paragraphs is not copied, and I am getting only a list of comments without the content
4. attached is a file which demonstrates the problem
can somebody help?

Hello csofer,

After the installation of the new OS you have also reinstalled the Viewer, and what you are missing now is a setting that is by default turned off.
Please go to Edit -> Preferences -> Commenting and in the "Making Comments Options" section turn on "Copy Selected text into Highlight, Cross-out and Underline comment pop-ups".

Best,
Stefan
