Print with Comments

You can create a comment summary and print the PDF document together with it. Comments include notes, text boxes, callouts, highlights, cross-outs, underlines and drawing objects. The icons for file and sound attachments are printed, along with the attachment name, but not the attachment contents. A comment summary shows the PDF review history. The current status of a comment can be modified in the Comments panel or from its shortcut menu.
