Where has the check box gone?!

I have just updated to Acrobat Pro CC 2009.008.20071 and now when I bring up a list of comments on a PDF design file there is no longer a check box to tick off changes as I go. I used to filter by unchecked comments to keep track of what fixes had been actioned. The check box is no longer there.

There are more approval options (completed/apprvoed/add check box etc) in the hamburger dropdown but that is surely not the process for checking off each edit?!

I have identified a temporary (but less good) workaround - (shift + k) which ticks the corner of the box but it doesn't then take you to the next comment as occurred previously, meaning that you need to click on the next one. This actually slows down workflow significantly in a graphic design setting where changes are actioned at speed and timed/. I have read in other forums that some designers used to press the space bar to tick and move to the next change to be even faster. @

So you took something that was one step to click to sort through all the comments we get from out clients on 300+ page documents into a 3 step process. So now we have to basically just delete comments as we go? WTF who though this was a good idea?

Please bring back the checkbox, editing comments has gotten so much worse since the update.

Same. Extremely unhappy. I rely on the checkbox to help me process hundreds of comments in huge PDFs from clients. PUT IT BACK.

Okay, I just tried to import pdf-comments in Indesign.

At least checking comments you have finished is easily.

One caveat: users why are using older versions of Acrobat seem not to save to compatible versions so you cannot import the comments.

When save-as from the latest Acrobat I am seem to be able to import them but in that case not all comments seem completely readable.

+1 BRING IT BACK!

Terrible decision to hide the checkbox. This has made going through huge documents of markup almost impossible to work with. Extremely frustrating. The reason for removing it is so ridiculous.
