Group and sort PDF comments

Grouping or sorting is essential when you have a group of people reviewing a PDF document, and it's ideal for keeping on top of comments from different authors. You can sort by:

  • Page. Based on page order.
  • Type. Based on type of comments added.
  • Author. Based on comments from each author.
  • Date. Based on when comments were added.
  • Color. Based on color given to comments.

To open the Comments panel and view all comments, do one of the following:

  • Select the Show/Hide Document panel  toolbar button, then the Comments panel  button.
  • Choose View > Document panel > Comments.
  • Use the F6 shortcut key, and then select the Comments panel  button.

To sort or group comments in a PDF document:

  1. In the Comments panel, right-click.
  2. Go to the Sort By list and select how to sort.

Tip: Using the Toggle Show/Hide option will hide any selected, visible comments, removing them from the document and the list in the Comments panel. If you want to restore a comment to the list, click the Show All option. Hidden comments will show up in red type, while visible comments will show up in standard black. Now that you can see them, use the Toggle Show/Hide option as appropriate.
