As I mentioned in my previous message, I haven't tried this feature because I don't use Word comments.
>From Word 2000, I just tried it with two versions of PDFMaker:
Acrobat 4.05: PDFMaker did not convert my test comments to PDF notes.
Acrobat 5.0: PDFMaker converted my test comments to PDF notes.
In both tests, the "how" was by selecting the "Comments -> Notes" option in PDFMaker.
If I hadn't had Acrobat 5.0 to check with, I'd have called or written Adobe tech support, mentioned that I was using 4.05, and asked if a later version solved the problem.
HTML Indexer 4 is still the easiest way to create and maintain indexes
for web sites, intranets, HTML Help, JavaHelp, and other HTML documents.
Now with fully integrated cross-references, target frames and windows,
multiple-file output, "one-step accept" of default entries, and more!
