             Summary: ExportFDF tool skips FDF from Comments
                 Key: PDFBOX-4498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4498
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 2.0.14
            Reporter: Nick Burch
         Attachments: SimpleWithComments.pdf, SimpleWithComments.xfdf

I have a PDF which contains lots of comments, which I want to export as XFDF. 
(Currently, this is done manually by firing up Acrobat, going to the Comment 
tool, and picking {{Export all to Data File}})

If I use the {{org.apache.pdfbox.tools.ExportFDF}} tool, I get a FDF with no 
comments in. If I tweak it to use {{saveXFDF}} instead of {{saveFDF}}, I get an 
almost-empty XFDF with no comments either

>From some limited research, it seems that the tool only handles the form-based 
>FDFs, not the annotation-based FDFs. Ideally it would be extended to handle 
>both.

In case it helps, attached is a simple 1 page PDF with 2 comments in, and the 
XFDF you get if you export the comments in Acrobat
