How to Turn PDF Review Comments into a Spreadsheet

Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team

Once comments are in a spreadsheet, you can sort by reviewer, filter by page, or track which ones have been addressed — something a PDF viewer's comment panel does not make easy.

What the CSV gives you

  • ·One row per comment, with page number, author, comment text, and creation date as columns
  • ·A workflow-state column so you can filter down to unresolved feedback
  • ·Reply relationships preserved, so a threaded discussion stays grouped rather than scattered

From there, add your own "status" or "assigned to" column and use the spreadsheet as the actual review tracker, instead of re-opening the PDF to check what is left.
