Hello,
I am looking for a macro for MS Excel 2010 that can:
1. Open a .FDF (Acrobat comments) file.
2. Save out all comments into a spreadsheet column.
Any ideas on how to make this work is really appreciated.
I did find a macro out there on a Google search, but it looks like two lines need to be tweaked in the code.
Here is that code:
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
J
