Comments not shown in Comments overview

[Jaime de Vos]

Hi all,

I've been experiencing problems with the comment list that can be found under the 'Comments' tab inside Acrobat.

Normally, when I open the comments overview all comments in the entire document are listed. Since a week or two his is not the case anymore. Quite often one or two comments are shown, while there are infact many others.

It's not a filter setting as far as I can see. The only way I've been able to get the comments to show up in the overview list is by actually visiting all pages in the documents one by one. Only then do the comments show up in the overview.

Am I missing something here? I've actually made a fool out myself by telling people they forgot to save the comments. 😛

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

Please update the application to the new version 24.02.20687 from the help menu > check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also under the comments section, please make sure that any kind of filter is not applied.

Let us know how it goes.

I can't either. I made comments, sent it for review, and received more comments back. Now I can't see ANY comments. Please advise ASAP.

I've also followed all of the comments posted above. I still can't see them.

You're not alone this seems to be a known glitch in some versions of Acrobat, especially after recent updates. The issue often stems from how Acrobat loads annotations across multiple pages; if all pages haven't been rendered or viewed, the comments might not fully populate in the comment list. One workaround, as you mentioned, is to scroll through every page to force Acrobat to load all annotations. Another option is to save the file under a new name or optimize the PDF, which can sometimes reset the internal indexing.

On a lighter note, if you enjoy strategy games in your downtime, I’ve been playing Dragon City lately. There’s also a modified version for mobile that gives you more resources and gameplay flexibility check out the Dragon City Hack APK  if you're interested in exploring it further .

I've run into the same issue recently, and after some trial and error, I found a workaround that might help. Try going to "Preferences > Commenting" and unchecking "Automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes". Then close and reopen the document. Also, make sure your Acrobat is fully updated—some users reported this bug was addressed in a recent patch. If that doesn't work, using "Print to PDF" (creating a new copy of the file) can sometimes refresh the comment metadata and make all comments appear.

By the way, if you’re into strategy games, I’ve been playing a cool one lately—Grow Empire Rome MOD APK . It’s a tower defense and empire-building mix with all features unlocked, perfect for when you need a break from work. For more details visit .
