How does the Export Annotations work?
Walk every page's Annots dictionary in a PDF and export every annotation object to a CSV — page number, subtype (Text / Highlight / FreeText / Link / Square / Circle / etc.), rect (x1,y1,x2,y2), author, and contents. Useful for migrating review comments to a tracking system, archiving annotations before flattening the PDF, or auditing what's been marked up. Note: annotations drawn by our other tools (Highlight Text, Add Comment, etc.) are PAGE CONTENT, not real annotation objects — this tool only finds Adobe-style /Annot dictionary entries (sticky notes from Acrobat, highlights from Preview, etc.).
