Some Acrobat comments not showing in InDesign

Some comments are not showing when I upload them to InDesign, it’s like they appear on the list, but you don’t know where exactly and can’t accept them, or can but it does nothing, so I have to keep the PDF opened in Acrobat and go checking where’s the correction, it’s not wrongly marked, because it’s not everything, just some, it happens from time to time, then when it seems they fixed it, suddenly it starts happening again, it’s really time consuming. Is there a workaround?

    Hi hahbee,

    If changes are made to the document after sending out for comments, for example adding a page or removing a page, the comments might become misaligned with where they should be in the layout.

    Also, are you using only the three auto-edit comment tools available from Acrobat Pro?

    No changes are made to the document, and only the three auto-edit tools are used, plus the marker. I’ll show you an example:

    there’s this page with a question mark symbol, it’s like it knows it is there, but it cannot place it where it is, but later on:

    It shows correctly, it seems random.

    Am I the only one with this problem?
