Question

Comments cannot be deleted

Hi,

I've added comments to a document. These can be comment boxes, lines, stamps, or drawings.

Now I want to delete them. I can delete the comment boxes, but not the other comments. In other words, I can delete them, but they reappear after a few seconds. It doesn't matter whether I use the “Delete” option in the sidebar or the keyboard shortcuts.

Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

    Hello!

    This issue has just started for me as well! I used to be able to click on a comment and press delete and go on to the next, but now it reappears as if it’s locked. When I click on the comment and click delete, it reappears. I’ve checked to see if the comments are locked, they are not. Also, I’m working from the latest version of Acrobat, updated from the latest version of Creative Cloud. This seems like it’s been an issue in the past, but no other workaround that was offered in the past has worked.

    Please advise.
