Question

Insert text at cursor but not using the comments

I use Acrobat Reader DC (free version).  I use it mainly to download credit card statements from my bank.  I use the highlight tool to check off verified purchases.  I also use the 'insert text at cursor' to write notes to myself...and edit those notes.  With the 'new' DC, I get this section on the right with Comments.  I don't use this, don't post my notes to anyone...want to get rid of this feature altogether.  I can sometimes minimize it but it always comes back...and I don't like the fact that I seem to be broadcasting my stupid notes to others.  I've attached screen caps of an entry on my statement using the insert text at cursor tool...as well as the Comments section heading.  How can I disable the Comments section?  Thanks!!!

I'm not really sure what you're saying, but why do you feel you are broadcasting your notes to others? The screen shot seems to just show that it is telling you that you have 193 comments. That's all. But you are presumably making the comments because you want to add a comment, so why is it a problem?

Thanks for your reply.  Ok, so I'm not literally broadcasting my info.  Then, I guess what I want is to eliminate the visual noise of the running dialog of my comments that takes up so much of the screen.  Most of them have nothing in them, so that's annoying.  If I could just close that off, that would be enough.  And I think I found the magic button to do that, once, but the Comments don't stay gone, they come back each time I open a new file.

I'd like to add...you said, "you are presumably making the comments because you want to add a comment."  No, I do not, if somehow inserting text at cursor automatically posts that as a 'comment'...I would like to turn that feature off.  My text at cursor is only an explanatory note for me pertaining to a particular entry.  Can you tell me how to turn off entering text a cursor as a comment?  Thank you!
