My employer purchased a seat of acrobat DC pro for me. When I make a comment on a PDF...it shows up as my boss making the change. I checked the name of the account I am logged into, and I am the one logged in, but it says he made the comment. Any help?

Go to Edit (or the Acrobat menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - Commenting and tick off the box next to "Always use Log-In Name for Author name".
Now right-click a comment and select Properties. Go to the General tab and change the Author name. Make sure to also tick the box that says "Make Properties Default".
Click OK, and any new comment you create (from that type) from now on will have your name as the Author by default.
