DA Chrome extension for Google Docs

PDF feedback, back in your Doc.

Your reviewer marked up the PDF. Docmend turns every highlight, sticky note and strike-out into a real Google Docs comment, on the exact words. It also exports your Doc to Word and PDF without losing fonts or comments.

100 Word readinessFonts swapped, comments removed

Why this exists

Google Docs is great until the Doc leaves Google.

The review came back as a PDF with 40 sticky notes.

Retyping each note into the Doc takes an hour and you still miss a few. Google Docs can’t import PDF annotations.

It looked fine until the client opened it in Word.

Google fonts get swapped, suggestions show up as tracked changes, and your private comments travel with the file.

The PDF download drops every comment.

File → Download → PDF leaves the comments out, so you can’t print, share or archive a review round.

Three tools, one side panel

Everything opens next to the Doc you’re working on.

Docmend panel listing four notes from a PDF, each matched to text in the Doc

PDF feedback

Drop the marked-up PDF. Get real comments.

Docmend reads the notes in the PDF, finds the same words in your Doc, and adds each note as a comment with the reviewer’s name.

Works with Acrobat, Mac Preview, Edge, Foxit, GoodNotes and Notability
Highlights, sticky notes, strike-outs, underlines and text boxes
Still matches when the text changed a little since the PDF was made
Edit or skip any note before it’s added

Questions people ask first.

Which PDF apps does it work with?

Any app that saves standard PDF annotations: Adobe Acrobat and Reader, Mac Preview, Microsoft Edge, Foxit, Xodo, GoodNotes, Notability and most iPad markup apps. Flattened scans or photos of paper don’t contain notes Docmend can read.

Why does Chrome say Docmend is “debugging this browser”?

Google doesn’t let apps attach comments to specific words, so Docmend adds them the way you would: it selects the text and uses the comment shortcut. Chrome shows that bar whenever an extension types into a page. It disappears as soon as the import finishes.

Do I need to give Docmend access to my Google Drive?

No. Docmend only works with the Doc open in your tab, using the sign-in you already have. There’s no Google permission screen and nothing is stored on our side.

What counts as an action on the free plan?

Adding a batch of PDF notes to a Doc, downloading a fixed Word copy, or creating a PDF with comments. Running the Word check itself is always free. Actions reset on the 1st of each month.

How do I activate Pro?

After checkout you get a license key by email. Click the plan badge in the Docmend panel, paste the key, and press Activate. You can use it on up to 3 browsers.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the link in your receipt email. Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.

Mend your next review in minutes.

Install Docmend, open the Doc, drop the PDF. The notes are in the Doc a minute later.
