The Action Wizard in Acrobat Pro lets you automate comment removal from many PDFs in one batch process.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
You can use the batch processing tools in Adobe Acrobat to add the same comment to several PDFs at once, saving you from repeating the same steps for each file.

Usually, batch tools add comments to all pages or a set place in each PDF, but you may need to check your software for options to pick certain pages.
You can undo recent changes if you haven't closed the files yet, but after saving and closing, you may need to remove comments again using batch tools.
