1. Unable to delete PDF comments

   In Indesign 17.0.1, I have a few book files in which once I import PDF comments and apply them, I cannot delete them. Also if I choose to filter the comments by "unresolved" once I resolve or apply a comment, it does not disappear as it should. File now has multiple rounds of comments that need to be deleted to make way future rounds of revision. Also finding that applying the comments is VERY slow and buggy (this book is ~300 pages).

2. Mapping errors of PDF comments for deletion when applied to list items (CC 2020)

   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 may be mapped to a completely wrong part of another list in the document (Although this is likely due to confusion by text duplication, it shouldn't happen nevertheless).

   Haven't tested with older versions of ID.

4. Can't accept "highlighted" text (with replacement text) using Import PDF Comments

   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?

5. 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?

6. 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.

   There is an extreme lag when using the Import PDF Comments feature. Sometimes I have to select "Accept" multiple times to activate the comment. And the file is very slow, it can take 20 or 30 seconds for the comment to be applied which is unbearable when working on a large 300+ page book with hundreds of comments. This used to work seamlessly but with the 2024 upgrade it is a total nightmare. I searched the forums and it seems like this has been a problem for some time and has not been fixed—this should be resolved considering this is the primary use of InDesign—layout!

8. Imported PDF comments listed in the wrong order

   1. InDesign 19.0
   2. Mark up an InDesign-exported PDF using Acrobat. The page should be text-heavy and have multiple, tedious changes indicated. Import the marked-up PDF into the source InDesign document's layout. Display the PDF and InDesign layout side-by-side on your screen.
   3. The comments should be listed in the same order in Acrobat and InDesign.
   4. The comments are listed in the correct order in Acrobat, but are in a completely random order in InDesign.
   5. See attached screen shot.

   PDF comments invariably appear in the wrong order in the list compared to their counterparts in Acrobat. The Acrobat list makes sense as comments are listed from the top to the bottom of each page. But in InDesign they are listed in a completely random order.

   Because not all comments get imported correctly, and do not retain formatting from Acrobat (which is another problem that needs to be addressed), I must put the PDF and the InDesign file on my screen side-by-side so I can check the source PDF as I work my way through a long document. I need to go down the list in order.

   It's incredibly frustrating and time consuming to not be able to follow along between the two Adobe programs in the same order. You're forced to either jump randomly all over the page in InDesign, or follow Acrobat's more sensible order but then hunt in InDesign's list for the corresponding comment.

   Please fix this, it's been broken since PDF Comments was first introduced!

   1. InDesign 19.0
   2. Mark up an InDesign-exported PDF using Acrobat. The page should be text-heavy and have multiple, tedious changes indicated. Import the marked-up PDF into the source InDesign document's layout. Display the PDF and InDesign layout side-by-side on your screen.

9. Importing PDF Comments: inclusion of Sticky Notes slows InDesign down to a crawl.

   When importing PDF Comments, it is mostly a breeze until the editor/author applies a 'Sticky Note'.

   Moving through a document where 'Sticky Notes' have been added, the page, and surrounding pages, slows InDesign to a crawl and can take a few minutes to apply one change.

   While my workaround is to run through all the 'Sticky Notes' in the PDF file first and apply those changes independently before deleting them, I can then import the PDF Comments in the usual way to speed up the remaining part of the process without being hindered.

10. Import PDF Comments not supported

    We are using InDesign CC 2022 version in production and try to import the comments from the PDF which created using the same Indesign file. But we encountered the alert as "PDF is not created from InDesign. Select another PDF to continue". Please check and suggest. Sample files are attached for reference.

15. Imported drawn PDF comments don't adjust in ID layout

    1. ID 14
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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 changes to the preceding text, the markup now overlays entirely different text. See screen dump with edits made in PDF shown in Acrobat on right, ID layout with imported comments at left.

    Importing PDF comments into a live document is tough to implement, I understand that. But this capability as found in ID 2019 is not ready for prime time (this is the fourth major problem I have reported so far -- there are others as well).

    Perhaps you could offer a choice to implement PDF edits from the back of the file/end of the story backward to avoid orphaning drawn edits because of text reflow.

17. Checkbox - sample button changes design

    Interactive form (made in Indesign, not Acrobat, as I don't wanted to mix!) - I wanted an option box (checkbox) to have a cross instead of a circle. The only option was to take a "sample button" from the menu. I choose the option box with a cross (R10) and integrated it in the form. After exporting to Acrobat, firstly there was a cross when I clicked on the box. But when I was going onto another step (next box, print file, etc.) the cross was changed in a circle again. There was no possibility to keep the cross in the place!!!!

19. Inserting PDF-comments removes OpenType superscript formatting of endnote references

    When a PDF-comment is accepted and inserted into the text, the formatting of the following endnote reference(s) with OpenType superscript position is removed.

    This applies only to numbers with at least two digits and affects only the last digit(s). When another PDF-comment is inserted into the Paragraph, the problem occurs again.

    The formatting is applied through a Character Style and while the Character Style remains applied, the formatting of the OpenType superscript position is visually removed.

    A workaround is to apply the Character Style to the character(s) following the endnote reference. This is not always possible, so often the thinnest space (an 'invisible' character) has to be added behind the endnote reference to be able to apply this workaround. When another PDF-comment is added into the same Paragraph, another 'invisible' character needs to be inserted to fix it again. The problem seems to shift equally to the number of PDF-comments inserted into the text.

    Of course this bug and workaround costs a lot of extra time and therefore money, plus it negatively affects the relationship with the client.
