I know you can change the author name is the preference settings
, but is there an easy way to change the author name of all existing comments in a PDF to one particular author name?
Wishlist
Bookmarks with page numbers
Optional fixed small icon size in the toolbar
Shift to UNLOCK aspect ratio/i]
Allow more "toolbars" to the title bar
AltGr issues with character input and keyboard shortcuts

Hello MedBooster,

This post here shows you how to "anonymize" the author:
viewtopic.php?p=34504#p34504
But the same could be used for quickly changing the author for ALL comments.
If there are comments from more than one person in the file, and you want to change the name of only one of those authors - let me know and I will get you a slightly modified script that checks and only updates the author if the existing one matches a specific criteria.

Kind regards,
Stefan
