  1. In a recent update commenting was broken again in Acrobat Reader (but not in Acrobat Pro).

    Currently running Version 2024.003.20054 (Windows).

    Expected behaviour (worked like this in the past, and in Pro):

    • Selecting text then clicking Delete: Adds a delete/strikethrough comment (red line)
    • Selecting text then typing new text: Adds a replace comment (blue line)
    • Placing the cursor in text then typing: Adds an insert comment (blue triangle)

    Current behaviour:

    • Selecting text then clicking Delete: Works as intended
    • Selecting text then typing new text: [NOTHING HAPPENS]
    • Placing the cursor in text then typing: [NOTHING HAPPENS]

    Some history:
    This bug was…

  2. Ein pdf-READER sollte Dokumente LESEN und von seiner Architektur her SCHLANK sein.
    Der neue KI-Assistent frisst alle System-Ressourcen, lässt das Programm einfrieren und verhindert, dass der Reader kurz nach dem Öffnen wieder geschlossen wird. Ich gebe Ihnen noch 2 Wochen. Danach muss ich den READER wechseln, weil er mich im Alltag nur noch behindert.

  4. Updating the filtering of comments to include a new type "highlight with comment" to allow the user to see all comments made on the highlighted elements.
    Currently users have to see all hightlights ( with and without comments) which isn't efficient when having to scroll through the whole sidebar to find their comments.
    Highlighting aids the user to be focused while reading the pdf, but comments are notes that the user will definitely want to return to. Therefore, it would be beneficial to include a feature that will differenciate the two.

    Thank you for taking this improvement into consideration!

  5. Previously, delete/strikethrough was shown as red, replace was shown as blue, highlight as yellow, etc.

    Now suddenly they are all the same red color so it becomes very hard to tell them apart.

    (In the attached screenshot you can see comment, highlight, replace, and strikethrough/delete are all the same color).

    This was likely a mistake/bug introduced in a recent update. It started happening in both Acrobat Pro and Reader, and makes commenting a lot more confusing.
    We are currently on version 2024.003.20054 (of both Reader and Pro).

    A workaround is to manually have the user change the color before adding…

  6. I highlight in several colors. Yellow might be text I want to save, while I might use blue for chapter heads and subheads. I can't find a way to indicate the color of a highlight in the comments sidebar. I'd like to, say, scroll through the comments in the right-hand column (when Comment tool is selected) and see the blue chapter heads. For example, where it says "highlighted text" could be blue, or have blue highlight, or just a splash of blue somewhere.

  7. QuickBooks error code 15215 is usually seen when the user tries to download the payroll updates. This error comes up on the screen with a warning message that states “Error 15215: Unable to verify digital signature”. This particular error might put certain restrictions to the access to the server leading to low or no response. Also, QuickBooks users should consider software updates and upgrades after regular interval of time. Facing this error can be a bit annoying for the user, but we have come up with this post that would help you in resolving the issue with much ease.

  9. The "Create" button only causes me headaches. Every time I roll over it to move or maximize the app, it brings up a new document that I never want. This is very, very frustrating. Please make a way to turn it off or remove it entirely as I cannot come up with a reason to ever use that feature.

  10. Go back to the previous layout/version of Reader, this new version is terrible! Just making something new/different doesn't make it better and most software companies seem to be struggling to actually improve their product, so they slap some new stickers on it, move things around and try to convince us that we now have a better product to use - yeah right!

  11. I am a professional proofreader. My clients expect me to use the built-in annotation and commenting tools, and in the 2023 Acrobat interface I’ve come across several points of friction that literally double the amount of time it takes me to implement my markup.

    1. I can no longer apply a tool after selecting text

    In the old Acrobat, I could select text first and then look for the tool I wanted to apply to the selection. In the 2023 Acrobat, many tools are unavailable to me after I’ve already selected text. For example, if I haven’t activated the replace selected…

  12. It would be great if comments could display Latex, i.e. rendering and displaying the math properly. Currently commenting with mathematical equations is a pain and just forces us to read the Latex source rather than seeing the rendered math.

    This might be easily added using a service like mathjax.

  13. As a ghostwriter at https://www.ghostwriting.ae/ Ghostwriting UAE have analyzed that many software are now linked with Artificial Intelligence which is good for new users and easy to use. It makes time short and saves you time duration. Adobe Reader can enhanced through AI implementations.

  17. When commenting on files, I frequently switch between "add comment" "replace selected text" "cross out" and other tools. Now that tools are arbitrarily grouped together, it takes wastes time getting to the tool I need, especially if I have a document where I'm making thousands of comments.

    Please make the toolbar customizable as the new changes render the program much less functional. I'll be finding a new commenting program if this isn't fixed.

    Also, the toolbar should be at the top to make it much easier to reach. Please hire a UX person before making changes in the future.

  18. With the older version of Adobe reader in the commenting feature, I could highlight some text and start typing and it would automatically cross the text out and allow me to type to replace it. Now I have to manually select the function any time I want to replace text.

    Same with selecting text and deleting it.

    The update is not user friendly, and it's now taking me a lot longer to complete my proofreading jobs. The old commenting functions worked perfectly well. Put them back please!!!
