I mean, it's been two years this bug has not been fixed.

I see new Indesign versions come one after one , try them all with hope.
But no, I still have to use Indesign 2014 to do my work...

Hi Alex,

thanks for the link. I can confirm the bug. No crash this time.

Comment on text with stroke applied on wrong position ( at the end of the paragraph or the story ) :

    Is there any link to this bug on indesign.uservoice.com ?  Without it and without "voices" on this bug Adobe will never do anything to fix it.

    Hi Alex,

    tested with your 2019 document and had a crash while trying to import my commented PDF to the PDF Comments panel.

    Also replied about this in your other thread you linked to.

     

    The next crash happened with InDesign 2022 version 17.0.0.96 after I opened and saved the document to 17.0.0.96 and tried to import the commented PDF that I exported from the 2019 document.

     

    I will do all my next comments about the crash in your other thread about the PDF Comments issue.

     

    Regards,
    Uwe Laubender

      Hi Uwe,

      Here's a new one with a simpler font.

      If it crashs, you can reproduce it quick easily.
      I just created a text, duplicated it, and add à stroke on the new one.

      Honestly, most likely not. This is something which most users don't need. Personally, I don't even have a clue of the benefit of comments in a PDF and even less of the use in Indesign. 

      Next, what you show us seems just to be a graphical issue, because I suppose the comments are still there and only the placeholders vanish. This could be a simple graphics card & driver problem, not related to ID at all.

      I don't think it’s a graphic card issue. It works with no trouble in Indesign 2014.

      The issue is on Windows and MacOS, so it can't be related to hardware.

       

      The benefice of this feature is the same as sharing for revision (and the bug is there as well)
      1) Sending a PDF which contains à lot of text to someone who will make corrections in Acrobat with comments.
      2) Importing the PDF comments in Indesign, and apply the correction without the need to type them manually one by one.

       

      It's a powerful feature when you have a lot of corrections to apply, which is often the case in my work.

        "It works with no trouble in Indesign 2014." - That doesn't negate the unconfirmed possibility of a graphics driver related bug, because ID definitely doesn't use the same way of addressing the driver like they did in 2014.

         

        Anyway, I can understand point 2, but why so complicated? Most people would use word for this. Word has a much better comment system than a PDF. You would copy and paste the corrected parts from the Word file to Indesign. Inside Indesign you would have to do the same, from the imported comment list to your document text. I would never use a PDF and work with PDF comment for review sharing.
