Direct "Add note to replace text" by typing doesn't work in latest version.

[Sotirios32753348lpu9]

I am using the newest version of Acrobat (23.006.20320). In previous versions I could place somewhere my cursor in the text and when I would have the 'Comments' left panel open I could directly type in the text and what I type it would appear as a comment to replace text, by also giving a blue line in the chosen text. However, in the newest version, the "Add note to replace text" it doesn't work that way. For deleting text, this functionality seems to work, meaning that if I choose some text and press Delete then it creates a comment to Strikethrough text by showing a red line. Alternatively, I can put comments to replace text by choosing a piece of text and then pressing the "Add note to replace text" button from the toolbar but I cannot do that when I do not choose any text, for example if I want to add a coma somewhere (as a comment). Previously I could do that and now it is not possible.

I run my CC on Windows 11.

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi, 

can you include a screenshot?

Hi Sotirios32753348lpu9,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

As you find the behavior change when adding comments, please share the screen recording of the workflow you use on the new UI and the results.

For testing purposes, try to Disable New Acrobat from the File menu. And check if the adding comment works as it used to. If yes, please share the screen recording for that too.

We will share the information with the team to get this checked.

Let us know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Same experience as the OP: unable to add text for replacement in the new Acrobat when typing directly. It works fine after disabling the new Acrobat.

Thanks a lot @Meenakshi Negi. Indeed everything works fine when I DIsable New Acrobat as also @Marcin34754838pd4f  stated. Thank you both - I will keep using it like this for now until this is resolved in the new acrobat.

I will come back with a recording as soon as a I get some time to do that.

Cheers,

Sotirios
