I have a pdf that has been annotated, and would like to print (or extract) just the annotations (it's a long pdf that's relatively sparsely annotated). Is this possible?

Print only the annotations of a pdf

You can try putting all annotations in one layer (Layer A) and the rest on the content in another layer (Layer B). Then you can set Layer A as visible while printing and Layer B as not visible.

Any suggestions on how to put annotations on a separate layer? – Nikhil – 2019-01-20T12:18:20.543
Annotations aren't part of the page's content, they float above. None the less, your suggestion would work. Put ALL the page content in a layer and hide it. – Mark Storer – 2011-05-02T18:18:20.780
@Mark Storer Yes, your are right, thanks for the clarification. – yms – 2011-05-02T19:01:06.007

You can extract your annotations into a text or a .doc file by using this simple online tool.
This tool extracts highlights and notes from your PDF-files. After you got your annotations exported into a text or a .doc file, print it using standard document printing feature available in your operating system.
