Hi levans@nova.eduand welcome to the Canvas Community! This document has good directions and images showing how to download the annotated version of a document in SpeedGrader, How do I view annotation feedback comments from my instructor directly in my assignment submission? I am not sure what program you have to view PDF documents, but we have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. When I open a PDF document in this program and print, one of the option is to summarize the comments (see image below). When selected, this creates a view that prints the comments as a summary after each page.
I will mention that that there is a feature idea currently available that suggested a different view of the SpeedGrader comments, https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/10697-print-annotated-comments-from-speedgrader
I hope this helps and best wishes!

After much struggle we have learned how to print annotated comments as displayed in canvas using Adobe Acrobat Pro:
1. Open the file you want to print in Adobe pro
2. Find a tool called "Optimize PDF" or in older versions go to View/ Tools/ Document Processing
3. Select "Preflight" and then "Flatten annotations and form fields” then "Analyze and Fix"
4. Save it as a new file. The file has now been "flattened" into a dumb document that prints as it displays.
5. Open the new file and print it.
You can also make a batch process by creating a "New Action" that basically goes through the same steps and saves the file with a modified file name. Use the new action to convert selected files or a whole folder all at once.
