Problem
You’ve opened a PDF in either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and the markups aren’t appearing on the page when printing.
Why is this Happening?
This is because the default print setting only prints the PDF and not the markups.
Solution
This can be fixed by changing by the Comments & Form setting in the in the Print dialog from the default of Document to Document and Markups.
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat or Reader.
- Click File > Print.
- In Acrobat 9 and above, select Document and Markups in the Comments & Forms drop-down list.
– Or –
In Acrobat 6, select Document and comments in the Print What drop-down list.
An Alternative Solution
You can also use the Flatten Markups function to permanently merge the markups into the PDF content, which ensures that they’ll always print from within Acrobat and other PDF viewers. This can be useful when sending your PDF to others and need to be sure that the PDF file prints correctly.
