Enhancing Annotation & Commenting Tools for a More Intuitive Review Experience
Hello,
I’d like to suggest improvements to the annotation and commenting tools in Acrobat to make document reviews more efficient and intuitive. Currently, while Acrobat offers basic highlighting and commenting features, there are a few areas where enhancements could significantly improve the workflow
Color-Coded Highlights & Comments
Allow users to assign multiple colors not only for highlighting text but also for comments themselves.
Enable custom labels or categories (e.g., “Question,” “Correction,” “Important”) linked to specific colors for easier filtering and review.
Threaded Comments
Implement true threaded commenting so users can reply directly to a comment in a nested structure.
This would make collaborative reviews much clearer, especially in documents with many reviewers.
Advanced Drawing Tools
Add flexible shapes, freehand drawing, arrows, and text boxes that can be resized and anchored to specific sections of the document.
Allow annotations to “snap” to text, lines, or images for precise placement.
The goal is to make document review faster, more organized, and visually intuitive for both single users and teams. I believe these enhancements could make Acrobat an even stronger tool for professionals who rely heavily on PDF collaboration.
I’d love to hear if others in the community face similar challenges or have additional suggestions for improving annotation and commenting.
