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 Jamie

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that.

Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 21.11.20039 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau...

You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

Regards

Amal

I'm having the same problem here. I'm on latest Acrobat version on OSX Monterey. Comments aren't showing up in the list unless I skip through the entire PDF, page by page, and sometimes not even then (see screenshot). I tried @Amal.'s advice and reset preferences but it didn't work (also out of all the files and folders that article said I should remove, com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist was the only one actually there).  There seems to be many more people experiencing this problem, and getting complaints from clients: https://acrobat.uservoice.com/forums/590923-acrobat-for-windows-and-mac/suggestions/43427637-not-all...

Hi there

We are sorry to hear that the issue still exists. Have you tried to use the application in the root accont as suggested earlier? Please try to enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check if that works for you.

Yes, @Amal.  I've tried that. The problem persists. I still need to go through the entire file for comments to load.

Hi Amal,

I was wondering if there has been any info on the comments not showing up in the comment overview. It is happening to me, but only when there are multiple users commenting on a pdf.

Thank you,

Jenny

yes i agree with you if you use  the best image quality then you use reminimodapk

I too have been experiencing this exact same issue on Windows machines in the US.

In my case it seems to happen only when multiple people comment on the same pdf. So far, when only one person comments I have not had the issue.

This is quite a problem as I am missing client corrections. 

[remini_9272]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It seems this issue may occur when multiple users comment on the same PDF. Updating your PDF software or testing a different tool might help. For photo editing, try **Snapseed** or **Pixlr** APK, both offer powerful mobile editing features.

Thank you for your response! I appreciate the suggestions for PDF software and photo editing apps. I also recommend using **virat ** to increase followers quickly and organically. It’s a great tool for boosting social media engagement!

Same issue here, potentially VERY embarrasing if I don't pick up all client comments. It doesn't appear to happen with every document.

When we update acrobat to this version it work 2023.001.20063

[maria32711985p8kc]

I am using the version 2023.001.20063, and all my 163 comments disappeared.

I followed all the suggestions and instructions aboe, and still the comments are missing. Please help.

Hi there

Please go to Edit  or CTRL+K (Win), Adobe Acrobat (mac) > Preferences > General > Uncheck "Show online storage when opening file" > Click OK and reboot the application and check if that works.

I'm having these same issues. My editor has marked up the PDF with the changes and sent it to me via the Abode Acrobat shared files. While the file is loading the changes are marked in the PDF (as seen by the redline through the text) but in the comments bar it states there are no comments and once the file is fully loaded even those redlines indicating changes disappear. (pictured below)

I'm using the online Adobe reader. When I download the file and open it in Adobe Acrobat Pro 2024 I get no comments at all.

My editor has spent days marking up the changes, Have I don;t something wrong with access these changes? I don't want to tell my editor to redo all her edits again unless I'm sure this information is lost. And if it is lost—why is it? Can't afford to use a program that is unreliable.

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.
