Question

How do I turn off click "Post" with every edit and comment in Acrobat Pro on a Mac?

Right now, I have to select the text to highlight it, then the toolbar pops us so I choose 'comment' THEN I have to post the comment for it to take. 

 

I should just be able to insert the edit and hit "return" instead of having to mouse over to the comment and POST IT. Even with just the insert text cursor, I still have to POST it for the edit to be made. 

 

I have hundreds of edits to 30-page PDFs, and this is not an efficient way to edit. I can't find any tips online. Help!

    Yes this is a TERRIBLE thing they have changed and really slows down the editing process 😞 I hope they revert it to how it used to be...even the Alt-Return isn't fast enough.

      This is a very frustrating feature in the latest update. I can't understand why the change was made - what purpose does it serve?

        @Teri37911592r8fy I have been able to click 'Add a Comment' tool in the tool bar as shown. And make a post quickly. I have over 90 students and I am making comments to some of their PDFs quickly. 

        Although, I made sure my comments were set-up in my Acrobat Preferences, keyboard shortcuts, Command K (Mac) or Control K (PC)
