Acrobat for Windows and Mac: Commenting

(thinking…)

Make comment color in sidebar match the color of the comment

In previous versions of Acrobat, in the Comments pane, there was an visual indicator of the color of the comments. But in Acrobat DC< all the comments look the same. The color changes based on the AUTHOR NAME, which I suppose might be useful for some people, but not for me. The color of the comments in the comments pane needs to reflect the color of the actual comment, as it did in previous versions.

Please restore the comments to look the way they did in previous versions.

    I also miss this feature. It is really valuable and it is sad to see it casually rejected as it is done here.

    The UI of Bluebeam Revu is similar to Acrobat 9 and some users find that fits their workflow better.

    Color-coded comment windows is essential to my work.
    Since Adobe has chosen to switch to a subscription-based platform that offers LESS functionality than previous versions, does anyone know of an alternative program?

    I want this feature available again as well, I used the colors in the comment pane for which items needed high priority and such. now I don't see the colors.

    Also, I could filter out colors and focus on a specific color, now I can't.

    This has negatively impacted my work process, and adobe DC is not helpful to me any longer, I will be looking for alternatives now, whereas previously I never considered using competitors products.

    Adobe team, we users would feel better about your "valuable feedback" script if it wasn't the same every single time our features were denied, and if it also wasn't enclosed in quotes. This is a boilerplate denial. When our feature requests are denied, can we at least know why?

    For what's it's worth, I am not the only user asking for this feature. This feature was also discussed here.
