Thanks for your response.

I wasn't real clear in my opening post exactly what I'm looking for. My bad.

At work, I often send out a pdf document to be reviewed, and I get back comments, insertions, deletions, etc in the returned pdf. The comments from all reviewers are combined into one pdf. You can then go through each comment in Adobe Acrobat and change the status to Completed, Agree, Reject, etc. The comments are retained in the pdf and the status can be changed at any time. After all comments are incorporated, I can then extract the comments with status information, date and time changes were made, etc. and bring them into a spreadsheet so that comments can be categorized.

I'm wondering if I can convert an MS Word document that has comments in it into a pdf in such a way that the pdf shows all comments, deletions, etc. as if they'd been created in the pdf itself. If you're familiar with Adobe Acrobat, you could select the menu function that lists all the comments, and those comments would be listed at the bottom of the pdf, along with author, date, etc., information.

Does that make any sense?
