The original issue reported in the main thread is resolved by giving a preference for checkbox in the latest release. The other issue reported by Ian Davis is under our radar and we will let the user know if we pick it for future release.

It's actually worse than I thought. I've gone through one set of corrections, using the Shift+k button to add a checkbox to the comment. Then I've asked the document to only show unchecked comments. However, if I need to copy text out of a comment in the PDF and add it into my InDesign file, I have to go to the drop down menu and choose 'Copy text'. If I click directly into the comment itself and copy the text, when I want to apply Shift+k to the comment to add a tick box and get rid of the comment, it just puts a K into the comment box (replacing the text that the person commented on). To get rid of it, I have to instead click OUT of this comment, onto another comment, then go BACK to this comment and do Shift+k. PLEASE, PLEASE, I BEG you Acrobat, give us back our checkbox. I have NEVER written to you before, over many many years of using the whole Creative Suite, I usually get by and find ways around things to make them suit me, but this is an absolute DISASTER of a change for me, as I do thousands of corrections via PDF every week and this is literally cutting my productivity in half.

OMG, have just updated and there's NO CHECKBOX???? When I get a PDF of corrections for my work (large books), there can be up to thousands of comments that I need to filter through. I set up the documents to only show unchecked boxes and once I've taken the comment on board the checkmark is ticked and the comment disappears. Simple. Now I've to double the workload by going to a drop down menu? Are you for real Acrobat? This is the single most important feature of Acrobat for me and you've taken it away?!!!! Please, PLEASE don't do this. I'm going to see if I can revert to earlier version now until this is fixed. I cannot begin to explain the many hours this is going to add to my workload every week.
Seriously, who were you thinking taking away the checkboxes? I'm wondering if you asked anybody like me. I'm a small business, designing and typesetting books. I create a PDF which goes to authors/editors etc. who mark up thousands of comments on a PDF and send back to me to fix. When I take action on a comment, I tick the checkbox, and because I have it set up to only show unchecked boxes, the checked box comment vanishes and I'm only left with those that need to be actioned. Simples. NOW, I have to go to a dropdown menu and add a checkbox, then tick it. This doubles the workload. It sounds easy to do, and yes, it is, but when you have THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of comments to get through on a weekly basis, this is seriously not funny. Yes, I know there is the CMD+K option, but often you have to click into a comment to copy and paste text out of it and into the Indesign document, so if you are still in the comment box and press CMD+K, you end up just replacing the comment in the PDF with a K. So you have to Esc out of the comment before applying CMD+K. There are many thousands of small businesses like me which are going to be seriously put out by removing the checkbox, so can you please, please put it back, and maybe check with some of us first if we think that changes like this are a good idea in future, we are the backbone of publishing, even if just small. Anyway, I've uninstalled the programme for the moment and gone back to the previous version (I've never had to do this with any CC product before, nor have I ever complained about any of the products before, I think they're wonderful), but this version of Acrobat now makes my job unworkable.
