Where has the check box gone?!

With Acrobat more than any other Adobe title, it seems to me, as someone who uses Acrobat with proofreaders to review documents, that Adobe simply is not aware of how its users work. Why can't we edit keyboard shortcuts for Acrobat? Why does the mechanism of invoking various commenting tools constantly change? Why is the mouse required for so many actions in Acrobat? Just one example: is there a way to "post" a comment using a key? I haven't found it. I'm not even sure clicking "post" or clicking in the document is necessary to save the comment, but it seems risky to not commit the comment.

The work a lot of people have to do with Acrobat can be exceedingly tiresome, repetitive, and exacting. Any way this can be made easier would be a benefit to users; any way that makes it harder, or requires more mouse movements, hurts users.

Everyone's complaining about the missing checkbox in Acrobat!

See  https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/590923-acrobat-for-windows-and-mac/suggestions/35609902-please-don-t-make-the-user-go-through-a-menu-to-ch

The checkbox is still there: you just have to go to the comment's options menu to see and use it.

Adobe has gotten the message and has marked the above "idea" as "Planned."

This has killed my workflow. Not only is the checkbox harder to use, the filter doesn't hide items as I go. I changed from the checkbox to completed because since they are both just as difficult to use now and there does not appear to be a filter for checked items any longer. Worse, I have to constantly toggle the filter on and off to hide the completed comments. It used to continually update as items were checked off. I am trudging through a document with 440 comments that would have been done yesterday if not for this horrible "modernization."

As a solution to the check box issue in question, I have verified and suggest this process with Acrobat 2019.008.20074 on Windows 10 Pro. While the steps are slightly different than before it is just as fast as previous versions for processing multiple changes.

Follow these steps;

1) Open document.

2) Open comment panel.

3) Process first item.

4) When the first item is completed,

    >right click on the comment,

    >choose Add Checkmark

5) Left click Filter Comments Icon at the top of the comments panel,

    select Unchecked under the CHECKED option,

    then click Apply on the lower right of the dialogue.

6) Proceed to process items in the list.

    As each item is completed simply >right click

    >choose Add Checkmark and the item will hide automatically.

7) Checked and/or Unchecked comments can now be filtered together or seperately.

Hopes this helps others !

This is TERRIBLE user experience. The checkbox needs back ASAP. Changing something easy, a one click check box to a three click, is a waste of my time. Let me know when you fix your mistake. Cause I know have to go back to a previous version in order to do my work. Thanks for the extra work.

Bring back the checkbox, it was instrumental in ensuring all edits were captured.

Please bring back the check box!

I, too, use the check box all the time and right click is more work, please put the box back!

Has the current Acrobat developing team ever used Acrobat for actual work? I guess not.

Turning a single click process to 3 clicks is no way a good UX design and imaging when we have to check things / comments for 10, 50, 100 or more pages.

who came up with this idea should be forced to click the new checkbox +5000 times every day until they can bring back the checkbox to where it was.

This is my fix for now. Go back to the previous version which by the way, adobe seems to not know how to name their product version. they have it as 11.0.07 in the download page but its installer name is Acrobat2015 and it is V 2015.something something after tinstallationion! comeon adobe, 2-3 difference names for a product is confusing.

This is a major disappointment and is causing quite an unnecessary stir in our work production.

When you're opening up a PDF with 300+ mark ups, you need the ability to simply sort by "checked" or "unchecked" and be able to simply check items off in the most intuitive way possible. What's more intuitive than a visual, unhidden checkbox? Edtis that should take an hour at most are now taking a significantly greater amount of time. How is that better?

Please, please bring back or at least grant the ability to "show checkboxes" within preferences.
