Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - Comment Identity

Question

Hey! I have Adobe Creative Cloud under my own name and account, and I've been using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC within the package.
HOWEVER, when I make comments on PDF files, the comment identity / author name is NOT my name... it's actually the name of someone I used to work with.

So I have a few questions with this:

1. How do I get the comment author name to change?

2. Could it be that somehow my Adobe account is still linked to this colleague of mine's Adobe Acrobat??

I look forward to hearing from you

Actually, the name used for commenting has nothing to do with your Adobe account. It can be associated with the user name on your computer, though. Here's how to change it:

Go to Edit (or the Reader menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - Commenting and tick off the box next to "Always use Log-In Name for Author name".

Now right-click a comment and select Properties. Go to the General tab and change the Author name. Make sure to also tick the box that says "Make Properties Default".

Click OK, and any new comment you create (from that type) from now on will have your name as the Author by default.
