I'm using Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (24.005.20320). Since the latest update, I can no longer insert text as a comment by right-clicking. In other words, when I place my cursor between characters (not highlighting text) and right-click, the menu contains the following options:Highlight textStrikethrough textAdd a comment to replace textAdd note to textThe option to insert text as a comment appears in the vertical toolbar, but not in this menu. Is there a way to add it to the menu? I've looked in Preferences, but can't see a way to do it.

I'm using Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (24.005.20320). Since the latest update, I can no longer insert text as a comment by right-clicking. In other words, when I place my cursor between characters (not highlighting text) and right-click, the menu contains the following options:

Highlight text
Strikethrough text
Add a comment to replace text
Add note to text

The option to insert text as a comment appears in the vertical toolbar, but not in this menu. Is there a way to add it to the menu? I've looked in Preferences, but can't see a way to do it.

Hi @DKaiser613,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback.
If you are using Modern Acrobat, click inside the text where you need to mark Insert text comment, click on the "Comment" tool on the floating Quick toolbar to expand on further options, and you will see "Insert text". Let us know if that is what you were looking for.

Please check the screenshot attached

Hi, Tariq.

Thank you for your reply.

There was no screenshot attached to your email.

I know that I can insert a text comment by clicking the comment tool from
the floating Quick toolbar, and that's what I'm now doing, but that takes
more time than right-clicking and selecting that option from the menu. This
functionality used to be available, but it's disappeared since my last
update. That is disappointing.

Hi @DKaiser613 ,

we are able to understand your concern and have acknowledged it.

For now if you do not want to use the Quick toolbar to add the insert text annot, you can use a quick shortcut.
place your cursor between characters and start typing from your keyboard, that way, we will directly add insert text annot at the place of cursor.

Do let us know if you faces any issues with this shortcut.

Thanks,

Prashant.
