I think you are mixing printing with comments vs saving with comments. If you print with the comments it will not retain the original content, it is "printing" the commented document as you see it. PDF files do not have a modification history built in like Word and some other files. We made extensive use of PDF files in our engineering technical baseline computer system. So much so I am getting nauseated writing this. 🤒 I spent many hours un-f**king files and retrieving technical information created by clever* engineers.

If the original PDF was created from a scan or raster image, printing to a new PDF with comments over top may work visually. But when editing with Acrobat's tools, the original unretouched image will still be there. If the original PDF has the fonts and ascii text embedded within the document, printing to a new PDF again may work visually, be the text will still be embedded, and most likely be searchable. Simply Saving with comments over top an image or text will not "remove" the original content of he PDF. It's a "Comments" feature, not an eraser or paint bucket.

Adobe served its purpose but modern building materials make it easy to build a stronger and better insulated structure much more economically.
