Filter comments by color
In a previous version of Acrobat (I believe it was version 9) it was possible to filter comments by color. Please bring back this feature, it was one of the most useful features of Adobe Acrobat. As a technical author, I need to add lots of different comments that are directed to different people. Some are only relevant for the illustrators, some for the developers, others for fellow writers, etc.
Sometimes I also categorize the status of comments by color. E. g.:
- green --> done
- orange --> needs some clarification
- red --> can't/won't be done
Without the filtering feature, it is very hard to not get lost in the sometimes hundreds of comments.
It would be great if you could bring back this feature, we used it a lot!
