New Acrobat Reader DC comments

[Aleksandr30983028utwy]

Hello, guys!

I've recently noticed a problem (or not?) with New Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - it's impossible to add a comment as text when your document has already been signed by someone, but sometimes it is necessary to add a comment as text for some reason even if the document is signed. What can I do with that? 

Thanks!

Use the regular commenting tools (under Tools - Comment), not the Fill & Sign ones.

Take a look at these screenshots 

I can't add comments as text after the document has been signed

A digital signature locks the file from further changes, unless the signed allowed them.

[Aleksandr30983028utwy]

That's not true. As you can see I can add comments, but I can't add them as just normal text

[try67]

It is true. If the user ticked the box that says "Lock Document" when they signed the file, you won't be able to add any comments to it. If they didn't do that, then you will.

Here are example files for you to review and compare.

Yes, I know, but our users never lock documents and that's why I can add comments, of course, but I can't add a comment as text like it's shown in old adobe sign.png

[try67]

Maybe they started doing so...

[Aleksandr30983028utwy]

Hello, no, they didn't. I tried to sign a document with several users and no one locked it.

[Aleksandr30983028utwy]

That's impossible. I'm a coprorate user and our security policy doesn't allow that

Hi @Aleksandr30983028utwy ,

The Add text comment has been deliberately removed from quick tools section in modern viewer. If you still want to use it, you can Add the text comment by customizing the quick tool bar.

Please refer to the attached recording for adding the text comment to quick toolbar. 

Hope this helps!!.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Hello!

We need exactly this option. If I add the text comment, then it appears with a red boarder, but we need just a normal text

Hi @Aleksandr30983028utwy ,

This is Fill and sign option, which is not available in signed files, if you follow my screen recording that i attached earlier, the text comment that you add would not have the red border around.

Thanks,

Prashant.

Unfortunately, I can't find the "Customize toolbar" option. Maybe we have some difference because I use a corporate version of Adobe? 

[Aleksandr30983028utwy]

@Prashant. 
Oh, now I see that I can add the text option only in Adobe Acrobat Pro
But we have many users who use Reader DC, is that impossible to do in this one?
