Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to download a PDF (or image, or other file types) with comments included. Alternatively, could there be a way save out just the comments as it's own downloadable format? If a file is changed, the comments disappear into the ether.
This would help streamline our workflow and help keep track of changes/comments/conversations. Currently we screenshot every page with comments to keep track of edits.
Thank you

YES. +1 to API endpoint as well. Comments need to integrate with productivity apps too, to show up as to-do lists/action items that can be assigned, tracked and calendared. Asana, Notion, Sunsama, Todoist, etc
Second this idea!
YES, this is essential! I work in publishing and authors like the comment feature, BUT you've made it into a task for us to TRACK the changes. We all need tracking for legal reasons and responsibility. It's NOT useful to download the comments IN the PDF (like PDF commenting) - but rather to be able to download either a text file OR a PDF (archival record) of the comment list is absolutely essential AND it's NOT hard to do. Why haven't you yet?
+1, this would be very useful for examining academic texts (e..g PhD thesis viva).
+1! At least allow us to get comments via an API endpoint, so that we can archive and search for them in our own databases or custom tools.
This would be key for archival / compliance requests as well.
