In one of the last updates, the password security has changed from allowing one to copy and paste the password into the dialogue box to requiring a manual typing of the password. When putting the password into a document for the client to open, there is always a chance to type the incorrect password and the document cannot be opened. When the document cannot be opened, I do not know what has changed from the proposed password. Having a copy and paste assures that the password in the document sent to the client is also the one securing the attached file. Please allow copy and pasting of passwords...

I am working with Linde Engineering India (Linde AG) as Engineering consultant. Our daily routine job is to review various suppliers' documentation to meet the client requirement. Supplier submits the document which we review in .pdf using commenting tool. Previously we were using Acrobat 9 for this in Windows7. Now we are using Windows 10 for last more than 1 year and in that, we are only allowed to use Acrobat standard DC Version 2015.006.30033. In this Adobe Acrobat version, we are not able to edit the comments made by our peers / sub-ordinates before sending it back to Supplier easily. For this, we need to unlock each and every comments everytime for editing as well as for moving it to proper place on the document so that the information behind the comment block can be read by the next reviewer clearly. This is consuming a *** lot of time of us which is tedious and not desirable in this digitalized world. We shall have flexibility for the same so that we can work easily. For example, if I have received one supplier document which I have to send it to 3 other engineers for their review. When first reviewer comments, he himself can not edit the comments after some time of commenting or after saving the document some time. Secondly, the second/third reviewer also can not review the complete document as the previous reviewer's comments were locked and not movable so that the information beneath/behind the comment box can not be reviewed. Finally, when that document comes to me after completing the review cycle, my task is to consolidate the comments, arrange the comments and place it appropriately, and rephrase the comments clearly so that Supplier can understand the query/intension of those comments to move faster and resolve the issues. For doing so, I have to unlock each and every comment box every time (our one document can have more that hundreds or some times thousands of the comments). Now, please imagine the amount of work increased at our end. We are very tight with the schedule and we can not used Adobe. We need immediate attention and support from Adobe/Acrobat so that we can use this tool without above explained problem. Your positive and urgent/timely response will be highly appreciated. ALSO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED PLUG_IN OR UPDATE to be run in the same version of pdf which is referred in this description above.

I work in several files which all get marked up in a standard format (red boxes with an red x stamp to note issues that need further review or actions to resolve). All the mark ups from all the documents need to be closed before my process is complete. It would be ideal if i could run a query across multiple documents (like a whole batch of folders) on all the comments made with the same criteria options currently available in a single .pdf comment filter and it be packaged in a comment summary file that has links to jump you to the document page upon which the comment mark was made.

Example:

I have a file with 2 folders. All the pdf documents in those 2 folders (lets say there are 10 in one and 15 in the other for a total of 25 .pdf documents) I have reviewed all of them and marked up all the issues using a Red Rectangle and made notes using the double-click feature of each box. I can now run a Comment Summary Filter and subsequent Comment Summary Report.

Next level option would be to run this same comment filter across all 25 documents and it spit out a Comment Summary Report that captures all the Red Rectangle comments i made in ALL of them, with a link that would jump from me from the Report to the page upon which the comment was made in a particular document (ie page 8 of doc 2 in file 1 where i drew a Red Rectangle to mark an issue).

Next Next Level would be a way to export this list to Microsoft Excel or Planner or Access for communication, tracking, resolution, and/or reporting reasons.

When multiple comments contain the same text we can search for them and view them all, without seeing all other comments. However, if we then add a checkmark to all of these comments (by first selecting all of them and then clicking one of their checkmarks) all of the [hidden] comments (ones which didn't match the search) that appear on pages in-between are also given a checkmark. This is obvious if we have the 'Unchecked' filter selected, as when clearing the search many more comments have vanished, not just the ones which matched the search. Please fix it so that only the ones which we can see we are checking get checked!

After the update, no longer able to change font settings of comments (ie font size, font color, etc.). After reaching out to help desk, it was indicated that this can only be done in the "Edit pdf" tool which only works once comments are embedded in the document. This does not make sense as I still need the comments to be "live" so that further edits can be made in the future. This is especially upsetting as I work on pdf's that are 24X36 and need the comments to stand out but the size is so small, it gets lost on the page.

Hello. I regularly use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for reading PDFs for school. With some kinds, I can just highlight the text normally, and that works great. Congratulations and great job! However, sometimes my professors simply photocopy pages from a book, and I have to draw on highlights. Does that make sense? Now, here's the issue. Sometimes, when I draw it in a straight enough line, it automatically makes it straight. That's nice, HOWEVER, sometimes it doesn't follow the line of the text and doesn't match up with the way the text is on the page. I've attached a sample screenshot for reference. This is very frustrating. I think you should improve it in your next version. Again, though, thanks for your work and great job.
