Delete all notes in comments?

I had accidentially activated the option that the highlighted text will be copied to the notes pop-up.
Is there a chance of deleting all notes of a selection of annotations? The annotations should remain unchanged of course.
Thanks a lot
Best wishes
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
It might be possible with some JavaScript.
Is it all annotations that you want to clear, or only highlights?
Can you send us a sample (if the original are sensitive - prepare it with a 'safe' file - with all types of annotations as in your original file) - and I will see if I can get a JS that will do what you need.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan
thanks for helping!
Here you can download a small example:

Only highlights should be cleared of the notes.
Best wishes

Hello chappy72,
E.g. the below will remove the text from Highlight annotations, while it will leave the sticky note ones intact:
Code: Select all
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i++)
{
if (annots[i].type == "Highlight")
{
annots[i].contents = '';
}
}
Here is your file's comments pane before:

and after executing the above script:
