Downloading a commented PDF (image, PDF, video, webproof, and HTML/MFE proofs)

You can download a PDF that includes a proof's comments overlaid on its content, for image, PDF, video, webproof, and HTML/MFE proof types. This article covers generating and downloading a commented PDF.

Steps​

  1. Open the asset and expand its version history.
  2. Next to the version you want, click the download icon.
  3. Click Commented PDF.

The PDF is generated on the fly and downloads as <asset name>-v<version>-commented.pdf:

  • Image proofs export as a single page with the image and its annotations.
  • PDF proofs keep their existing pages with annotations overlaid.
  • Video proofs get one page per distinct commented timestamp, each showing the extracted video frame with a timecode label.
  • Webproof and HTML/MFE proofs get one page per distinct URL (and, for webproofs, viewport) that was actually commented on, captured as a full-page screenshot.

Commented PDF only appears for proof types the export supports — see Which asset types support commented exports.
