Markup Summary
A markup summary is a way to publish a report of all of the markups, making it much simpler to communicate and manipulate data important to large projects.
-
Go to Markups List > Markups > Summary on the Markups list toolbar and select the desired summary type. The available options vary according to the summary type.
CSV Summary-
Page Range Options:
- All Pages: Sets the range to all pages.
- Current: Sets the range to the current page only. The current page number will appear in parentheses, for example, Current (2) if page 2 is the current page.
- Selected: Sets the range to the current selection. This option only appears if pages were selected prior to invoking the command.
- Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. To enter a custom range:
- Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.

For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.
