We share several .pdf documents and all add comments to them. For some reason I cannot  open/make comments on any of our .pdf documents, but when I go to another PC I can with the same document. Is there something here we are missing?

    Hi jims70073327 ,

    Assuming you have Acrobat Reader DC installed on the machine, try resetting preferences for Reader and see if that works:

    For Windows -

    Close Adobe Reader.

    (ii) Go to C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC, 

    (iii) Move the entire DC folder to some other location like temp folder.

         To view temp folder , press and hold Windows key and press R on your keyboard ,type temp in the run dialogue box then press enter.

           If App data folder is not visible under your user name , type %appdata% in run dialogue box and hit enter

    (iv) Restart Adobe Reader.

    For Mac  -

    Close Reader

    (ii)Drag the following files from the Users/[Usrname]/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop:

        Acrobat WebCapture Cookies

       com.adobe.Acrobat.pro.plist or com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist

       The Acrobat folder, which contains prefrences for forms(MRUFormsList), collaboration (Offline Docs), and color settings (AcrobatColor Settings.csf)

    (iii) Restart Acrobat.

    Let me know the results.

    Thank You,
