to flatten the highlight and sticky note comments but NOT the text box "PLACEHOLDER"?

2 Likewise, to remove highlight and sticky note comments but NOT the text box "PLACEHOLDER"?

Hello, chrisjj

I am afraid that PDF-Tools will not be able to automate this. This requires a level of precise actioning that PDF-Tools is not currently capable of, and which we do not currently plan to offer. Perhaps this will change in the future, but for now, you will need to use the Editor to manually modify these comments.

Kind regards,

I take that as PDF-Tools does not do this.

Thanks.
