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)

        Hi @Teri37911592r8fy 

        Some upgrades have been made to the commenting feature with the July 2024 update. Check to see if you are using the latest updates: helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html 
        Also, if the feature behaves as you reported, you may use the UserVoice forum to share your feedback: https://acrobat.uservoice.com/ 

        Feel free to reach out if you have further questions.

        This update is horrible.  I use commenting all the time in report reviews and use to be able to just hit enter or click out of the comment box.  Not I have to hit post or press ALT-ENTER.  Who asked for this reducting in functionality?

          I 100% agree. My productivity has gone down so much with this update 😞 REALLY hoping that they will undo this "feature" that looks like it got added back from the July update (since it was working fine until recently). Thank you for the "alt-enter" shortcut. Sort of helping get back to semi-normal speeds....
