I would like to have comments extracted from pdf file using either AA,
or AR or pdftk (or any other utility which can run  on Linux and/or
MacOSX). Sure I can "Copy and Paste" each comment but I want "one
shot" solution

Thank you in advance.

Assuming the comments are encoded as comment annotations:

cpdf -list-annotations in.pdf > annots.txt

Not free, though: http://www.coherentpdf.com/

Thanks but

1) the price is a bit too steep (keeping in mind that many
Universities have AA site license which for individual user translates
into $40)

2) Output does not show the page number to which annotation belongs or
type of annotation (highlight, sticky,... )

Ideally it should be in the form
3) Ignores hyperlinks (internal or external)
