How to Export Comments and Annotations from a PDF

Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team

A heavily reviewed PDF can end up with dozens of comments from different people. Exporting them gives you one list instead of scrolling through every page.

Step-by-step

  1. 1Open Export PDF Comments and upload the reviewed PDF.
  2. 2Check the detected annotations — page, author, type, comment text, and date are shown for each one.
  3. 3Download the list as CSV for a spreadsheet or JSON if you are feeding it into another tool.
What gets included

Sticky notes, highlights, underlines, strikeouts, stamps, and shape markup all export. Link annotations and form fields are excluded on purpose — they are not review comments.
