InDesign Beta can't open/convert PDF files
- InDesign Beta 19.5 x64.
- Try to open a PDF file.
- I expect PDFs designed in InDesign to be openable.
- When I try to open a PDF file (which has been designed in InDesign), nothing happens. The program acts like I haven't tried to open a file at all. The work area remains empty.
A redditor has the same problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/indesign/comments/1d4o74e/indesign_beta_cant_open_convert_pdf/

Comment Feature is not working properly
Working with InDesign comments is extremely unsatisfying. The interactions are super slow (this might be because of my file, but still. comments should be displayed quickly as they are not big in file size). The pins are fixed, while text that is about to be changed will change position.
Also, not all comments are displayed or load really late. It's really confusing to figure out where they are and it's not possible to click a pin on the pages to view them.
The feature is really important. InDesign is a proper software with an outdated UI.

"PDF not Created in InDesign"
A PDF was exported from Adobe InDesign, opened in Abobe Acrobat, annotation tools were used, and the PDF was saved under a new file name. Attempting to open the comments in InDesign with the "Import PDF Comments" tool returns an error stating the PDF was not created in InDesign.... but it was, and only Adobe tools have been used.

PDF comments imported incorrectly
- Both ID 2024 and 2023 (19.0.1 and 18.5.1)
- A PDF file created with ID 19, and was commented by the client. When I import PDF comments it sometimes crashes, and afterwords ID does import the comments, but most of them are "broken" and appear as "unmapped comments".
- Attached are screenshots from both versions after importing comments from same file. Dark screenshot is from version 19.

Imported PDF comments on graphics transferred to text on page
- InDesign 19.0
- Add Acrobat comments to placed Illustrator graphics in an exported PDF, then import the PDF to PDF Comments in the source InDesign document.
- One would expect a warning dialog or just unmapped comments in InDesign.
- Instead, InDesign tries to map the comments elsewhere on the page.
- Screenshot shows the example I encountered with strikethrough markup. Instead of the % signs in the graphic, InDesign wants me to delete random letters and spaces in the text.

PDF comments import problem
In the previous version I was able to work very smoothly with the comments I imported, but in this version the computer crashes. It freezes during processing.

When a comment is made in a PDF using the Insert Text tool, that comment doesn't map to ID 18.5 and previous versions.
For the past month or so the insert text comments made in a PDF do not map to the InDesign doc. I'm getting comments from multiple users. All other mark-up is mapping as expected except insert text. I update ID every time a new version is released but this bug seems to be persistent.

Indesign doesn't mark 'single letter' PDF comments in the last words of the lines
Indesign 17.2.1 x64, Win 10
Indesign doesn't mark 'single letter Replace' comments in the last words in the line. If there is 'Replace single letter' in previous words, it works fine, if there is 'Replace whole last word', it works fine.1 vote -
copy
Allow normal use of copy and paste with system-wide shortcuts from PDF comments. Most of the time I try to copy text from a PDF comment to paste into a document, the selection disappears and no "copy" option appears. I need to be able to copy and paste text from comments as easily as any other text. This issue is seen in 17.2.1 on an M1 iMac running Monterey 12.3.1.

PDF comments on footnotes import wrong
Whenever I receive PDF comments on footnote references, they import with the wrong position into InDesign.
In the attached screenshot you can see a delete/strikethrough comment on the footnote reference, yet after importing into InDesign it has moved to the glyph in front of the footnote reference. This needs to be fixed as it leads to errors, and forces me to check all the comment positions manually using Acrobat as InDesign cannot be trusted.
There are similar problems for bulleted/numbered lists (if the comment is placed on the bullet/number or at the end of a line).
Note: I've also seen…

revisions are not showing
When my collaborators comment with a pin everything works but when they highlight a text, I see the comment but 1 time out of 2 the highlighted text is not highlighted. So I can't see where my collaborator wants me to make changes.

PDF comment panel resets when moving back and forth to the doc
The website is too awkward to search quickly, if this has been posted/mentioned before, so apologies if this has been covered.
I'm working on a catalogue I have PDF Comments on, and I'm sourcing content from other ID files. When flicking back and forth, the PDF Comment panel resets back to the top and opens up each page tab, after I've minimised that page, because it's so long.
It's making it really annoying to go from the cat to a doc, come back, and have to scroll down dozens of pages' worth of comments, to get back to where I…
