Restrict printing of PDF until all mandatory fields are filled in.
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?

PDF comment: need Insert Text at Cursor tool
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.

PDF comments panel does not stick in workspace
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.

Solved PDF comments become unmapped
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.2 votes -
Selection of PDF 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 Insert Issues
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 comment
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.1 vote -
Unable to Import PDF Comments from Acrobat 2019 Shared Review
PDFs with shared Reviews running off the Adobe Document Cloud are not able to import comments into InDesign.
Since Acrobat 2019, we are no longer able to use our own review server. There's now a big blue button to share the review using the Adobe Document Cloud. While this simplifies using Shared Reviews, the review PDF is now hosted and maintained by Adobe. Then, there is no longer a way to import the comments into InDesign.
To import a PDF's Shared Review Comments, InDesign requires access to the copy of the PDF containing the comments. With Acrobat 2019, this copy…

InDesign CC1019 - Import function of PDF comments on graphics are incorrect
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.

Imported drawn PDF comments don't adjust in ID layout
- ID 14
- Import a batch of PDF comments into layout, including edits made using the Oval and Arrow tools to show placement. Then proceed to apply edits, thereby adjusting the location of the text on the page.
- I would expect the drawn edits to be tagged to a location in the text, and to track with the copy as it reflows. If this feature is going to be available, that is.
- Actual result: the markup remains on the page at the coordinates at which it was imported. By the time to you get to that location, if you've been making…

import pdf comments
- ID 14 Mac
- Copy text out of a comment to paste into layout
- Would expect that the cursor could be used to select all or part of an imported PDF comment
- In fact it is EXTREMELY difficult to get the palette to recognize that text is selected in the palette interface. The "Copy" popup does not appear a large proportion of the time, or you can't select the range of characters you need. Even though Acrobat is terrible at the same process, it is significantly faster to copy the needed range of characters from the comment in Acrobat and switch…

Import PDF Comments not working correctly for Tables.
PDF comment import not working accurately on tables
- ID 14 Mac
- Import PDF comments to layout including simple 2-column tables in which an entire row is marked as deleted/struck through
- Expected that the entire row would be deleted upon acceptance of edit via PDF Comments palette
- In fact Accepting edit only deletes the contents of the first cell of the row, leaving the orphaned data behind.

Copy in Indesign layout is menu clicked "All Caps". PDF comments does not work. Only when copy is set to normal
When my copy in Indesign layout is menu clicked "All Caps" from tool bar or Character menu. I make a change request in the PDF. Like "remove" a word. Then Import the PDF comments. Accept does not work. The only time it works is if the copy is set to regular copy or if you type the copy in "All Caps". No menu changes.

PDF Comments not hiding
PDF Comment import does not hide comments on the layout after the Hide Comments on Layout button is pressed.
The following is the process I followed:
- Displayed the PDF Comments pane in InDesign.
- Imported comments from PDF's.
- Selected the Hide Comments on Layout Button in the PDF Comments pane.
* Comments are hidden from view.
- Leave the InDesign window
- Return to InDesign, and some of the comment boxes are shown, some are not shown, and some are partially shown (the box is cut in half).
- Move cursor over the Show Comments on Layout button.…5 votes
