    Hi all,

     

    How does Acrobat support PDF editing?

    Acrobat includes dedicated tools for editing PDF content, adding comments, optimizing documents, and preparing PDFs for print production. Using the appropriate tool for your workflow helps produce the best results.

    For extensive layout or content restructuring, edit the original source document and create a new PDF rather than editing directly in Acrobat.

     

    How are comments and markups saved?

    Comments and markups are saved when you save the PDF.

    If you're using Send for Review, comments from multiple reviewers are synchronized into a shared review, making it easier to collect and manage feedback.

    If comments don't appear after reopening a PDF, verify that the document was saved and that commenting is allowed.

     

    Drawing a straight line comment: hold Shift while dragging with the line tool.

     

    If Acrobat becomes unresponsive while adding a comment and won't let you save or exit: this matches a recurring pattern reported for commenting-tool freezes. Try, in order:

    1. Update Acrobat to the latest version.
    2. Repair the installation.
    3. Reset Acrobat's preferences to default.

    If the freeze persists, check whether it happens with one specific PDF or all PDFs, and report it to Adobe Support with that detail.

    How does Acrobat edit images?

    Acrobat lets you move, resize, rotate, replace, crop, and edit images within a PDF. The appearance of edited images depends on the quality and resolution of the original image.

    For the best results, edit the original source image whenever practical before creating or updating the PDF.

    Complex PDFs with embedded images and overlapping comments can be prone to rendering issues, such as distortion or comments shifting position.

    When should I use PDF Optimizer or Flattener Preview?

    Tool Recommended use
    PDF Optimizer Reduce PDF file size by optimizing images, fonts, transparency, and other document elements
    Flattener Preview Prepare PDFs for print production workflows that require transparency flattening

     

    Important: transparency flattening cannot be undone once the file is saved.

    @kenji_8574 let's see if I am understanding your questions because it doesn't make much sense:

    Q: when i press shift for adding comment for straight line, i could not finsih the next point and it doesnt allow me to save, exit. Only close the entire software 

    A: Although, you can add lines in Acrobat (typically, these tools are found in the Comment Panel) which is generally for commenting and markup. If you want to draw a straight line, hold the Shift key, then click and drag a line with the line tool. 


    Q: When i edit the image, all the image got brusted and the comment ran to other direction

    A: This might have to do with the PDF itself. Complex PDFs with embedded images and comments can be prone to rendering issues. I can edit simple stuff with images. But not with vector artwork, it's a little complex. 

    Q: when try to flattener preview ( previously was in th epreflight), it suddently cut the half of the second page.

    A: On my end, it works fine. Your PDF's page dimensions might be causing conflicts with the flattener?
