We have recently updated to 2020 version. In the previous version when I load PDF comments in InDesign they appear in the pages where they are suppose to appear. Now, in the 2020 version, they appear in the Master Page. Why is it like this?

Also may I suggest when copying text in the PDF Comments panel that the "Command+C" be activated as this is more instinctively than clicking the "Copy" button from the panel.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

(4) Unable to navigate the comment to respective position in the InDesign file thro’ COM

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?

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.

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.

Some solved PDF comments shows up as unmapped and unresolved.
I often end up with a long list of unmapped comments after I am done solving the list of comments.

InDesign CC2019 (14.02 x64) Windows 10

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 Comments do not insert at the correct location when the Insert is marked at the start or the end of a paragraph. The insert at the start of the paragraph instead gets inserted at the end of the previous paragraph. The insert at the end of a paragraph instead gets inserted before the final character (tested with period and question mark and happened with both).

PDF comments are made in an export from a book document from InDesign 2019.
When importing the comments in the different InDesign files from the book, the comments from the previous book files appear somewhere between the comments of the current book file and are not marked as unmapped comments.

Step 1: Export PDF x4 from ID 14.0.1
Step 2: Correction of the PDF file with Acrobat DC 2019.008.20080
Step 3: Import PDF comments into ID file from before (ID 14.0.1)

Comments within graphics are not clearly assignable after import in InDesign.

In Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, the corrections are displayed correctly

If in PDF text corrections to graphics are marked with the PDF correction function, they will not be displayed completly when importing to InDesign. Or these are displayed in the wrong position.

2. Import PDF comments from file, including strikethroughs, replaced text, comments


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
