Text box will not delete

I have several comments (text boxes) that I need to delete. When I delete them, they go away for a few seconds, but pop back up again. All the settings look normal. I don’t understand why these comments will not delete.

I’ve searched the internet, but cannot find a solution.

Hi WendyT3,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.

As mentioned earlier, it is not possible to delete comments from the PDF. Could you please confirm if this issue is occurring with a specific PDF? If so, kindly share the PDF with us so we can investigate further. Additionally, please provide the version numbers of Acrobat and your operating system.

Let us know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I am able to delete the majority of comments I have made on a PDF. But for some reason, some comments will not delete. It is on a large PDF that I use every month and export the comments to a new PDF.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2026.001.21662 and Windows 11.

I’ve exported the comments to a new blank PDF and attached it for you to investigate.
