Hi.

 

We use the comments to gather information about changes needed in PDF files.

Having an API to take these comments out and put them into another system would help us alot ! I do this manually right now.

 

Anything new on this? Seems to be a relativly small change, for a start I could do with just getting comments?

        This request is open with the team, so they are aware. I just don't have any news to report back from them.

        Hi acty_vishwas, 

        There is no update on this feature request, nor are there any existing API endpoints for reading or writing file comments.  I have updated the existing request to include your additional expressed interest in these endpoints.
