Acrobat for Windows and Mac: Commenting

(thinking…)

Option for name other than login

It would be nice if I could enter a name to use under Identity and could indicate to use this name regardless of how I am signed into acrobat. This way, comments added using my business or personal copy of Acrobat could show the exact same name. Thank you.
