There are many annoying features of Acrobat DC as compared to the prior versions of Acrobat. However, one of the most annoying and time consuming is the need to click "Post" at the end of each comment that you're writing. Is there a way to turn this off on a default basis and have comments saved automatically?
If not, are there keyboard shortcuts that can be used to be able to select the Post button and/or close the comment box without having to manually click on the Post box and the X in the upper right to close the comment.
Is this "feature" also present in the latest desktop version of Adobe? If not, is it possible to switch from Acrobat DC to the desktop version?
I know I'm replying to a 5-year old thread - but pressing Alt-Return is a workaround, not a reasonable solution. The old version of Adobe would allow you to just click your mouse outside of the comment box, and the comment was "post"ed. Now we have the newer, horrible version that changed a bunch of things for no good reason, making it worse for frequent users- so we have to add extra steps to complete the work that used to be faster and more efficiently completed.
Now we have to resort to workarounds like the above (my hands are not conveniently located to press Alt-Return" or the inevitable swearing under our breath when we've attempted to add a comment elsewhere, and that un-posted comment pops back up, insisting we click "Post".
I hope you're doing well, and we apologize for the delayed response and the trouble.
Thanks for sharing your experience. At the moment, there isn’t a setting to revert to the older “click-outside-to-post” behavior. The Alt+Enter shortcut is the official method. However, you can use the Adobe Wish form to raise a feature request to the product team to change the new or existing tools.
