I created the PDF in inDesign and sent it to my clients to feedback. They used Acrobat and sent it back but now it is saying this and I can't use it in Import PDF Comments - which was really helpful.

 

Has anyone come across this and why is it happening in the latest version of inDesign?

In detail:

When in Acrobat Pro DC and the PDF with the comments open, check this menu command in the Comments panel: "Export All to Data File…"

You'll export a *.fdf file that can be imported to the Comments panel with:

"Import Data File…"

The initial issue discussed in this thread was that InDesign was not accepting a PDF file with comments loaded in its PDF Comments panel. Reasons could be: The annotations were made not in Acrobat Pro DC.

So basically the trick is to export the PDF again from the current version of In

In Response To Bevi Chagnon - PubCom.com

Thank you very much for the advice.
In my case it doesn't help that much.
At first I closed a text file that is built from many masters, and then I imported the PDF file into a new INDD file.
There is no live text in the new file, and the client made a mistake and worked on this file...
Basically, it's the exact same file as the first file. Maybe there is something to do after all...?
