    Is there a way to save comments into a "macro" or easily accessible file for quick/easy insertion?

      To preface, I'm a lawyer and I use acrobat predominantly for its drawing and commenting features to "mark-up" contracts.  I get scanned text documents, I resize them using "Edit Object" or print-to-PDF at a reduced size and then I draw on them and use the text callout bubbles.

       

      As many of these contracts feature similar provisions, I often find myself making the same comments over and over, and I was wondering if anyone had a good method, or macro for inserting comments easily.

       

      I was thinking of creating a blank PDF document and then copy-pasting each callout text box into the document under the respective heading, and creating Tags, but this seems awfully labor intensive.

       

      Two other things:

      1) Why doesn't Acrobat X Pro grant me an automated function/action to resize (using Edit Object) every page?

      2) Acrobat needs better commenting tools for comments intended for printing.  Most people in my industry don't have/know how to use Acrobat, so pop-up comments become either obtrusive (covering text) or confusing.
