Question

Acrobat comments now with ALT+ENTER

Actually not a FrameMaker issue, but a change in Acrobat. I assume that many FrameMaker users also use Acrobat to manage comments.

Until a few days ago you could create a new comment in Acrobat and enter text and then post the comment by just pressing ESC. However, yesterday I noticed that this does not work any longer. ESC only closes the comment, but does not post your comment text. Very annoying, when you now would have to do this with the mouse.

As I have also a new laptop which could have different settings, I looked around. In the Acrobat forum I found the issue and a very good answer. Thanks to galilt61196587!

Adobe changed the ESC key to ALT+ENTER. Here is the link to the thread in the Acrobat forum.

    Hasn't this been entered into an Adobe bug database - where we could use our Adobe account to vote?

    I do not have an account on acrobat.uservoice.com and hence can not vote - although I strongly support the need to keep existing behaviour!

    Huh. I hadn't actually known about the ESC shortcut, I always click Post. Knowing there is a keyboard shortcut is useful, so yay, and I don't have a learned habit to unlearn. 😉
