1. Shortcut for 'Add Note to Text'

   A shortcut – ideally a keyboard shortcut – for 'Add Note to Text' would be very helpful for the editors and proofreaders among us. To select the text, right-click and find 'Add Note to Text' is cumbersome when you're using that particular feature more than any other (the Sticky Note is much maligned by designers and reviewers alike for not being specific enough to the text to which it relates).

   It would also make lots more sense in the context of the comment-as-you-type functionality for inserting or deleting text, etc. Surely it would be logical to create an equivalent keyboard-centred shortcut for 'Add Note to Text' to save constant switching between keyboard and mouse clicking for markup?

   A perfect solution would be Ctrl + Alt + M, which mirrors MS Word's shortcut (and effectively gives you the same function). And given it's likely to be used a lot by editors who are also using that shortcut in Word, it would feel natural to many. In terms of Adobe products, it would only cut across the shortcut in Illustrator for inserting a thin space, which doesn't seem a massive issue.

   If not a keyboard shortcut, then at the very least a different Quick Tool button on the Quick Tool Bar (or even the nice new Quick Tool palette that hovers above text when you select it).

2. Default Font for Adding Text to PDF's

   I have wasted hours upon hours of time changing my font from minion pro to arial every time I edit/add text to a new PDF, and even when I switch pages within one PDF. It should be the most basic tool offered, the ability to set a default font for all Adobe PDFs. If this does not exist yet, IT NEEDS TO, please!!!!

3. Revert to the previous version's commenting tools

   Things change - as does the UI - that is fine. Professionals working with Adobe Pro have adapted before. However, the changes have DOUBLED the amount of time it takes to mark up a PDF and as far as I can see there is no solution for this.

   • We are not longer able to highlight text, start typing and have text automatically replaced. We also have to select the tool, then implement the mark up.

   • We are not able to pick a spot in the text, start typing and have text automatically inserted. We also have to select the tool, then implement the mark up.

   • The above, coupled with the fact that a tool now remains active, makes a heavy mark-up a mammoth effort. Imagine inserting over 500 different comments as you proofread and each time having to select and deselect a tool.

   • With the commenting tools now "nested" under multiple menus, instead of just permanently all active, it adds to the amount of time it takes to find and select a tool.

   Above all, if this is truly what your research shows people want for commenting, at least give people the option to disable these functions. The changes you have made were clearly not suggested by any professional that actually uses them in their daily work. They are clunky, slow, not user-friendly and you have made them mandatory.

   I will definitely NOT be using the new Adobe Pro for this task and have reverted back. If it becomes enforced, I believe plenty of publishing professionals will be forced to consider other options.

4. Comments shall not get auto-locked

   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.

6. Make it possible to copy highlighted text

   It should be possible to copy the text easily from a highlight. Right now, this is almost impossible. (One had to switch to the Edit tool). Why not create a Copy Highlight item in the context menu. Or, when one clicks on and selects a highlight, why not simply let CMD-C do the job?

7. Comment tools menu

   The default layout of the comment tools menu has changed significantly in the new version of Adobe Acrobat DC and finding how to add functions like strikethrough and replace to the banner menu is not easy. This is frustrating for editors and typesetters who have to explain to authors how to proofread their galley proofs. Previously, I simply had to explain how to use Acrobat's comments function. Now, I'll have to explain to them how to find the menu to change the tools that appear on the banner, which is hard enough to figure out because it's just a bunch of icons. The new version is a downgrade from the previous version. Disappointing.

8. Enable "Arrange Objects" for use with Markup Tools (Shapes/Lines)

   I'd like to request enabling the "Arrange Objects" button so that it can be used with Markup Objects (shapes & lines).

   It would be nice to "send to back" or "bring to front" on any object.

   Currently I have to:
   Copy an existing object
   Delete the existing object
   Paste a new copy of the object
   Re-align where that object should be

   This works ok if you want it in front but not easy to move it to back.

   Please enable this action button to be used with all objects.

9. Customize Comment Pane

   The comments pane takes up WAY too much space. I would like the ability to customize what I see there.

   Currently in the Comments pane, it display the:

   -Author Name
   -Type of Comment
   -Text within the pop-up note
   -Date and Time

   Sometimes all of this information is useful, but most of the time, I don't need to see all that! It is a waste of screen space. I would like the ability to show to only those options which I need. In this case, I just want to see what is in the pop-up note, nothing more.

   We can customize certain panels in InDesign (like the Links panel), and here in Acrobat it would help maximize screen space if we could hide those items which we don not need to see.

   Compare the same set of comments in four different versions of Acrobat. Version 9 had a sub-level of collapsing, which hid the date, time, and type of comment. That feature was eliminated (or not developed) in later versions, and so now we have no choice but to always have the various items showing.

   It takes up way too much space.

10. new acrobat

    the new version of acrobat is terrible! you took away tools that made it easy to provide graphic markups to documents, you reversed the entire format of where toolbars are located so i have to retrain my brain on where to look for things. the arrow box and markup editing features are clunky, slow and difficult to manipulate. if it isn't corrected i'm reverting to bluebeam for good.

13. The dynamic stamp creation process needs to be simpler

    The dynamic stamp creation process is very difficult, at best. The random names for the stamps makes it extremely difficult to find which stamp you're working on after the stamp has been named during creation. Having to navigate deep into the file system to find a randomly named file is not user friendly by any stretch of the imagination. I'm attempting to make 100 dynamic stamps for our engineering company, not just one or two stamps.

    Please see if you can make the dynamic stamp process easier

14. Reinstate replace text by simply highlighting and typing

    One used to be able to insert comment to replace text by simply highlighting/selecting it and start typing. Please reinstate! Now I must right-click and select "Add note to replace text". I use this feature a lot when going through my students' work or proofreading, often hundreds of times in a day, and it is taking much longer than it used to with 3 times as many mouse clicks (not good for my arm!).

18. Bring back the old commenting toolbar

    I am an editor and frequently use the PDF mark-up tools, including strikethrough, insert text and especially "replace selected text". In previous versions, these tools were nicely organized in a toolbar across the top of the screen. If you wanted to use one, you simply had to click or highlight within the text as needed, then choose the appropriate tool in the toolbar. The new version consolidates these and other functions in a reduced menu on the left side of the screen. To use any tool, you now have to click a main icon, then choose the desired tool from a pop-up menu.

    In a document with dozens or hundreds of edits, these extra clicks and tool selections add up. As a result, the editing process is considerably less fluid and intuitive. I have downloaded an older version of Adobe Reader (couldn't find one of Acrobat) to avoid having to deal with this.

    Please bring back the old, complete toolbar of commenting tools.

19. Direct typing in comments

    The previous version of Acrobat commenting was simple and intuitive. You place your cursor and start typing for "insert", highlight and type automatically "replaces", highlight and delete automatically deletes. The new interface is slow, cumbersome, unintuitive and forces you to constantly change tool.

    Bring back contextual typing. I've downloaded an older version since this version is useless for comments.
