Hallo

ich möchte gerne PDF-Kommentare in InDesign importieren. Ich gehe über "Fenster - Kommentare - PDF Kommentare", dann erscheint das Feld "PDF-Kommentare importieren". Wenn ich die Datei auswähle kommt die Meldung " Die PDF-Datei wurde nicht aus InDesign erstellt. Wählen Sie eine andere PDF-Datei aus, um fortzufahren." Kann mir jemand helfen wie ich vorgehen muss, um die Kommentare in InDesign zu sehen?

Danke

Hello @christoph_1420,

 

As the expert suggested, the PDF Comments functionality only operates when the PDF is exported from the same InDesign document that you currently have open. InDesign requires that direct connection to accurately associate each comment with your layout. If the PDF was generated using a different program, the import will fail, and you will encounter that notification. Helpx reference: Import PDF comments

If feasible, attempt to export a new PDF from your InDesign file, add comments in Acrobat, and then try importing it again.

 

Please update the outcome.

The thing is, that I got a PDF with comments and I would like to have those comments in InDesign. It simply doesn't help me to first get all pages of the PDF into InDesign and export it and then add the comments again. The comments are not done by me but I need them in my InDesing file.

But it looks like this simple thing is not possible.

Was the PDF created in InDesign? If so, what version created it? What version are you using to read it? Do you have the original document open?

I don't know in which progamm was created as I just added comments in Acrobat. I am working with InDesign 2026

The feature requires that the PDF had been created using InDesign and that the original InDesign file be open.
