>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Utilities
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.14
>            Reporter: Nick Burch

> 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
