Large comment list makes Acrobat unusable

A document with over 1000 comments become completely unusable because of lag. Even when creating an archive version.

Creative Cloud has become a disaster.

    I use Acrobat regularly for academic projects, especially when I need to polish up the formatting on research or term papers. Writing the actual paper can be time-consuming, so I sometimes turn to external help when deadlines get tight. One resource that’s been surprisingly solid is https://kingessays.com/term-paper/ — they provide term paper drafts that are easy to revise and finalize in Acrobat. Combining good formatting tools with writing support really helps streamline the whole process. Might be useful for others dealing with the same workload.

    Foxit is actually pretty good at processing comments in a timely manner. Can recommend it for this purpose

    It is still an issue in 2022. It is almost impossible to work on a file with more than 1000 comments; it is very slow, lags, and freezes. When you open 2 files with more than 1000 comments, Acrobat can't handle it anymore. It will stop working; it leads to: "(Not Responding)" forcing the user to quit Acrobat.

    I have tried all the possible fixes/solutions and workarounds, but they do not work.
    Our office and I have a fast laptop: Intel i7, 32GB RAM, and an NVIDIA Quadro T1000 for the graphics card.

    When could we expect a resolution for this?

    Still the case in 2020, come on adobe, its not that hard! comments are text, why is a few kilobytes of text wrecking my user experience? Please spend the time to root cause and fix this issue. I have adobe pro, it sure doesn't feel like a professional product in this regard.

    I cant even remove the comments, Im really pissed about this.

    I am again getting frustrated by how unusable Acrobat DC is in a professional design environment. Trying to mark up a 56 page PDF is excruciatingly slow. I am working on a brand new 2020 MacPro with 192 Gb RAM, there is no excuse for this awful software that I am paying for as part of my Adobe CC subscription.

    Adobe, SORT IT OUT.

    Similarly, why is there a 1000 comment limit? If I am proposing edits with a strikethrough (as a proofreader), and each page has ~10 errors, sometimes as inncocuous as an apostrophe instead of a quotation mark, then I use all 1000 comments in ~100 pages without even using the more substantive comment discussion features...and I'm working on 600-1000 page manuscripts. Please help me
