Export Draw Text Polygon etc. as comment in PDF

[nathan_torggler]

Why does ACC not export the comments made in the cloud to PDF as comments in the PDF.

We wanted to use this tool to check plans from different departements. Traditional red lining is exported as comment in the PDF and can be filter and sorted within a PDF viewer. Any fast solutions? 

Currently ACC is exporting all the comments made image, which is sad!

A funny thing happened when I searched using your words.

@RSomppi : Thank you for your fast reply. Please test it first. It doesn't work!

Here the approval that it doesn't work. Comments are not exported as comments but printed within the original file as raster image

I was only looking to see if there were any solutions. I couldn't test it as fast as you could, if I wanted to.

One question, why would Autodesk say that's how to do it if it doesn't work?

Because of Autodesk. The answer by Autodesk will be, that commented are exported, just not like the specialist world would like to, but how they implemented it.

All the other CDEs I know do redlining by PDF comments (also software from the 2000's which can not be considered as CDE). Just Autodesk would find another way! Autodesk is not the world of solutions, it is the world of workarounds!

Good luck!
