Summary:
Selection boxes disappear when one of the selected annotations is a line--Upon moving the multiple selection with a cursor, any annotation selected before the last line annotation was selected will not have a blue selection box. This creates a very confusing user experience because it looks like you're only moving the line annotation.

Steps to reproduce issue:
- Select multiple annotations
- Include a line annotation in the multiple selection
- Click and drag the selection

Expected result:
- All selected annotations should have a blue selection box representing the move

Observed result:
- Only the last selected line annotation and any annotation selected after it has a blue selection box. Any annotation selected before the last selected line annotation disappears.

1. Create a PDF portfolio from any two PDF files


2. Right click on one of the files on the left and choose Open File


3. Go to the Comment tool


4. Click Add Text Comment from the toolbar (the single line one)


5. Type in a comment anywhere


6. Click X to close the tab while the caret is still blinking

Expected:
Asks you to save like it does with a non-portfolio PDF file.

Actual:
Freezes and then crashes. Reproducible every time, occurs on multiple Windows accounts.

After typing, if you press Esc or do anything else to move focus off the comment, the comment commits and everything is fine. If you close the tab without doing that, while the caret is still blinking, it crashes. This doesn't happen for regular PDFs, only those opened from a portfolio.

Since InDesign CC2019 has the ability to import PDF comments for quicker apply of text corrections, it would be of enormous help, to be able to change the comment type in Acrobat.

Some proof readers e.g. use the markup comment type to change text. But InDesign doesn’t allow the markup comment type to be executed with a simple klick on »Apply«.
Or they use »delete text« comment type, althought they wanted to change text. But in InDesign »delete text« simply deletes, but doesn’t insert the comment’s text.

So if I’d be able to change the type of a comment easily, this would be a great help!

Thanks,

1) When multiple overlapping or adjacent regions are highlighted the result should just be a single highlight over the union. This is how highlighting works in e.g. Kindle and Apple Books. A common workflow is to highlight an area, and then realize you made a mistake and wanted to highlight adjacent words. Right now this gives two overlapping highlighted regions with a darker shade on the overlap -- which is distracting, and it's highly unlikely that the user cared to generate two overlapping regions (and pretty unlikely the the user cared to create two adjacent but distinct regions).

2) I'd like to be able to easily select text which is a subset of a highlighted area. This actually impossible right now because the highlighted region is treated as a single selectable object, so if I click into it I can't select a portion of the text. Also if I wanted to copy out a span that is partially highlighted, I have to remember to start the selection outside the highlighted region, because clicking on the highlighted region doesn't put my into a text-selection state.

Overall you should simplify your highlighting UI -- just treat it as a flat annotation. Yes I need to be able to delete highlights, but I don't want them to become top-level entities that prevent normal text interaction and do not merge with each other (in the natural way that actual highlights in a printed book simply aggregate).

Hello,
Concerning the floating black tool bar that shows up when text is selected, it currently has only 5 functions (Highlight, Underline, Strike through, Copy & Edit text-images).
My requests:
1. Kindly make it customizable, so that users can add whatever buttons they like.
2. Especially, make it such that users can add anything from 3-5 highlighters of different colors, so that I will not have to go through the tedious task of changing the color of the highlighter each time I want it changed.
3. Kindly allow the "Add note to text" icon there either by default or as part of the customizable item.

I just figured out that a user can disable/enable it by checking or unchecking the feature from Edit>Preferences>General>Show quick actions of text selection. That is very nice to know!

I ask my clients to provide edits via PDF comments. Even as a person with normal vision, it is hard to tell which comment bubble is presently active (e.g. via clicking on a comment in the side panel). On images or busy pages it can become like an advent calendar search. The contrast of the bubble background and its dotted border are inadequate (even with opacity set to 100). Contrast between inactive and active (selected) comment bubble needs to be vastly improved, perhaps by size and not just colour.

I would use the PDF comments import in InDesign instead but every time I click on a comment it zooms out my page such that I can't comfortably read my text. (I've submitted feedback on this item.)

Opening multiple Acrobat windows on separate displays causes problems with the resolution calculation in the comments panel, if the screen scaling is different for the two screens.

I'm using the latest release version of Windows 10 Professional, and one panel is 3840 x 2160 at 150% scaling, and the other is 1920 x 1080 at 100% scaling. Acrobat is Acrobat Pro DC 2020.006.20042.

Ordinarily Acrobat rescales correctly as you move windows between screens, but the comments panel seems to have an application-wide display scaling (unlike the rest of the UI) and whichever screen you use most recently ALSO changes the scaling in the window on the other screen, if you have multiple windows open. E.g. if I switch to the lower-res monitor, all the comments in the panel on my other screen are suddenly tiny. The attached picture shows the tiny comment panel text.

This happens in reverse too - use the panel on the high-res screen and I suddenly have giant text on the low-res comments panel.
