Missing "Delete Text" in comments edits.
This appears to be a bug or regression in Acrobat’s commenting tools.
Previously, under Comments, there were separate options to Replace Text, Insert Text, and Delete Text. The dedicated Delete Text option has now been removed.
The current Select and Delete Text tool is not an equivalent replacement. It does not allow you to select/highlight text first and then mark that selection for deletion. Instead, the deletion must be initiated through the tool itself, which makes editing significantly less efficient.
More importantly, this affects the Acrobat-to-InDesign workflow. Properly marked text edits can be imported into InDesign through Import PDF Comments, allowing an editor or designer to review and apply changes directly. Removing the dedicated Delete Text commenting option undermines one of the major advantages of that workflow.
Please restore the dedicated Delete Text tool, or modify Select and Delete Text so selected text can be explicitly marked for deletion and imported correctly into InDesign.
