00:09So let's say you want to export a comment separately and not attach it with a PDF file.
00:14Let's say both the parties have the PDF file already and you just want to email a comment.
00:20In order to do that, you can use something called a data file.
00:23In order to import and export a data file, you can simply go over here.
00:27Let me add in some comments right here.
00:28So I'm going to go over here and let's say I want to add in a comment.
00:32So let's say something like change this text into a larger font.
00:42Something like this.
00:43And over here, I'm going to add in another comment over here.
00:46Just like this.
00:47So let's say this question can be more difficult.
00:55Just like this.
00:55Alright, so I have my comments right here.
00:58I can add in my annotations as well.
01:00It says this and so forth.
01:02So I got my annotation over here.
01:04So now in order to save this as a data file, I can export this by going over here.
01:09And over here, you can see that on this three icon, you can see that you can export everything into
01:16a data file.
01:16So let me click on export all data file right here.
01:21In my case, I'm going to save it on my desktop.
01:24And you can see that this is being saved as an FDF format.
01:27So let me just click on save.
01:30Once I do that, I'm going to go on to my desktop.
01:32And over here, you can see that this is the FDF file.
01:36And compared to a full PDF file, this is only few KB big, as you can see right there.
01:42So it saves a lot of space.
01:44So if the end party already has your PDF document, then you can simply say I sent this file right
01:49there.
01:49So let me just close this document and open it again without the file over here.
01:54So there you can see that there's nothing over here.
01:57Now, if you want to import the data file, what you can simply do is you can go over here
02:02into comment.
02:03You can go over here and then you can import data file right here.
02:07So once you do that, you can click on the FDF file format, press open and the highlight the comments
02:15are all there.
02:16So if you just want to email the comment to someone who already has the PDF document, then you can
02:21simply use this technique.
02:23So that's how you can import an export data file using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
02:29Hope you guys learned something as always.
