Problems with Text comments in new Adobe Acrobat
work in a high pressure job where I am working with various collegues on iterative presentations under tight time pressure. Adobe used to be an excellent tool for quickly reviewing and commenting on work product. With the new update to the adobe cloud, everything that used to require single steps, now takes 4 or 5 steps - the amount of wasted time + the amount of errors this causes is pushing me to conclude that adobe is now unusable for my purposes.
Previously if I wanted to leave a comment to replace text, I could just highlight the text I wanted to change, and type the revised text, this would be saved as a comment. Right after that, if I wanted to delete a line of text, I could highlight the text I wanted to delete, hit backspace, and the deletion would be saved as a comment. If I wanted to follow that up with inserting a new phrase into a sentatnce, I could click where I wanted the text inserted, type the text, and it would be saved as a comment.
Now, If I want to delete text, I have to go to the buttons on the left, open a sub menu, and then pick strikethrough text, then I have to highlight what I want to delete. That's not the end though, because for some reason, it saves the deleted text in the comment box, which almost looks like its just a text revision, so I have to highlight the text that is now in the comment box, and delete that as well. If I want to follow this up by revising some text in the next paragraph, I have to go the buttons on the left, open a different sub menu, and then pick replace text, then I have to highlight what I want to replace, then I have to delete the text that I just highlighted from the comment box (becuase for some reason it coppies the original text there) and then I have to type my revised text, furthermore, sometimes this new text doesn't get saved (I don't know exactly why that happens). Then if I want to insert some new text in the next paragraph, I have to go to the buttons on the left, open the same sub menue, but pick insert text, then I can click where I want to insert and type.
All in all - the changes you have made to what used to be an intuative and quick process, has made your product literally unusable. I have not started printing everything out on paper and making handwritten comments becuase the interface is so infuriating slow and tedious.
