Bug: Comment colors all the same after recent update(s)

Previously, delete/strikethrough was shown as red, replace was shown as blue, highlight as yellow, etc.

Now suddently they are all the same color so it becomes very hard to tell them apart:

(In the screenshot you can see comment, highlight, replace, and strikethrough/delete).

 

This was likely a mistake/bug introduced in a recent update. It started happening in both Acrobat Pro and Reader, and makes commenting a lot more confusing.
We are currently on version 2024.003.20054 (of both Reader and Pro).

 

A workaround is to manually have the user change the color before adding comments, but having to teach the hundreds of people who will add comments to our PDFs how to manually change the colors themselves is not feasible. Please revert it so the different comment types have distinct colors.

Hi @Chain83,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

I have shared the feedback internally with the team for them to look into.

 

Meanwhile, would you mind adding this to the feedback form: https://adobe.ly/40xhbNR to ensure it reaches the dev team for review and future implementation?

I *think* I already did, but it's been a while.

Thanks, @Chain83, for it.

 

I have forwarded this to the team, and they are investigating it.

 

I will update the thread once I hear back.
