Import/export comments data
This feature is especially useful for PDF reviewing. When you receive an email invitation to a PDF
review, the invitation typically includes the PDF as an attachment or provides a URL to the PDF.
Alternatively, you may receive a Form Data Format (FDF) attachment. When opened, an FDF file
configures your review settings and opens the PDF in a web browser. At this moment, you need
to know how to import the comment data from the FDF file. Similarly, you may export comment
data and send them as an FDF file to the other participants.

Do as the following:
Double-click a FDF file to open it directly with Foxit PhantomPDF.

file is, select it (if you want to import multiple comments file, you can select them by
holding trl/Shift or by dragging the mouse to select), and press ͞Open͟. You will be
prompted that the comments data has been imported successfully.
