PDF comments for deletion of list items get wrongly mapped to InDesign when importing to CC 2020; e.g. include the last character from previous list item if bullet point / numbering was included in selection to be deleted, or are mapped to a completely wrong part of a document.

Haven't tested with older versions of ID.

Hi !

Since a couple of weeks comments PDF made by my client are not matched in my indd files.

I have the latest version of inDesign and my client's Acrobat is up to date to.

We are use to work on long files about 400 pages… pages can have different sizes. We didn't change anything in our workflow… I don't understand why it doesn't work anymore. About only 10% of comments matches… the other ones are (?)…

Thank you for helping and fixing this bug.

I get the following error message when I try to print InDesign documents to Acrobat.
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: readstring ]%%

Getting frustrating. Any ideas on how to repair it?

1. 14.0.2
2. importing pdf comments that have bold and italic text in the replacement text
3. that it would show as bold or italic in the pdf comment dialog box
4. shows all text as none formatted

I can understanding it would be difficult to get that text to change to bold/italic when i click accept, but if i at least saw that it was bold/italic in the preview box i'd know to make that edit manually.

3. Some edits NOT SHOWN in ID file, though clearly present when PDF is viewed in Acrobat
4. Faithful transfer of all edits to ID file (note non-transferred strikethrough of Highlights of Baltics in bottom quarter of screendump)

We're also facing below issues in the new feature, called 'Import PDF Comments':

(1) Formatting properties are getting removed after importing the PDFs into InDesign, for example, if editor marking the contents in Bold format, is getting removed automatically
(2) When contents are getting overset during Comments accepting, throwing error ‘Comment cannot be accepted’
(3) Unable to select the comment one-by-one thro’ COM
(4) Unable to navigate the comment to respective position in the InDesign file thro’ COM
(5) Unable to get the page numbers thro’ COM

Please let me know for any clarifications on the above given feedback.

People who are reviewing now only can add a sticky note, , highlight text, underline text (and add a comment), strikeout text and draw. Adding text. The regular Comment toolbar also contains the Insert Text at Cursor tool. This must be added to the review features when documents are sent for review via the new Send for Review feature.

Faithful transfer of all edits to ID file

Edits not being applied properly in ID file, though clearly present when PDF is viewed in Acrobat. It usually just deletes the text rather than replacing it.

For years I have taught my clients to not use insert or strike through, simply because they are hard to see and click on, especially on a laptop. I much prefer the old school way, highlighted text, with an attached replacement text. Now with Import PDF comments, I see them but can't accept them. Can you make that work?

We're also facing below issues in the new feature, called 'Import PDF Comments':

(1) [CRITICAL ERROR] When any insertion is happening at the end of paragraph, InDesign is swapping the last character after the new insertion

(2) When any PDF comments appeared within the tinted panel, it's not replacing properly

Please let me know for any clarifications on the above given feedback.

We have discovered that the PDF Comments panel disappears when a document is closed.

But we have also found that any panels that are grouped with the PDF Comments panel in a saved workspace disappear when the document is closed.

Refreshing the workspace brings them all back.

We're also facing below issues in the new feature, called 'Import PDF Comments':

(1) Corrections importing in wrong place
(2) Corrections missing in InDesign
(3) No correction marked in PDF, but still correction found in InDesign

Please let me know for any clarifications on the above given feedback.

I have designed a CC authorization form that all fields are set to mandatory and with a PRINT button at the bottom. However I want to restrict printing until all fields are filled out. What's the sense of making fields mandatory if, basically, they aren't?

INDESIGN > PUBLISH ONLINE > GIVEN OPTIONS - Title & description fields = what is the intention behind these options?

My intention to use these would be, to supply additional information within the document/ link to my client, whom I share this link with.

Client opens the document > but the provided information are not displayed anywhere... so what's the point?

I am only able to select the corresponding sticky note icon from imported PDF comments at 100% or less view magnification. This is unhelpful as at this scale, large dimension sized documents the text is greeked out, I need to zoom in to see what is written in my document to compare against the comment, but then have to zoom back out to select the next icon to bring that comment to the fore of the list.

Please correct so I can select sticky notes while panning throughout a document at >100%.

PDF comment import not working accurately on tables

1. ID 14 Mac
2. Import PDF comments to layout including simple 2-column tables in which an entire row is marked as deleted/struck through
3. Expected that the entire row would be deleted upon acceptance of edit via PDF Comments palette
4. In fact Accepting edit only deletes the contents of the first cell of the row, leaving the orphaned data behind.
