Lately I've been doing a lot of publications and importing PDF comments into InDesign. But approving each change is extremely slow. Between 10–15 seconds for each one. Anyone else suffering poor performace? Anything can be done to improve this?

InDesign v14.0.3

MacOS 10.14.5

Bang on.  Deleted all the sticky notes and it flew.  Thanks for this Gabriel!  And I agree, sort it out Adobe! This must be driving loads of pro users crazy on what could be (and was once) a great tool

Hi,

 

Thank you for sharing the details. Can you please reproduce the issue again? Please make a note of the time stamp when you test this. Once InDesign performance drops, please collect the system logs and share them with us, along with the time stamp. These details will help us escalate the issue further. We'll also need a sample document on which the issue can be reproduced. You can add the logs to a shared location like Google Drive or DropBox and share the link with me through DM by clicking on my name.

 

Thanks

Rishabh

My original post was just over three years ago. Three years and still nothing has been done to make this feature actually work! I think some of us are owed a bit of a refund due to false advertising. I still open PDFs in Acrobat on the left and ID on the right (I have a huge screen, luckily). That works, but it's so much slower than if PDF Comments actually worked right and you could just *CLICK* to accept or decline an edit. Sheesh!

Agree!!! This would be a great feature if it worked and wasn't so slow. On my maching (M3 Macbook, bought 8 months ago), the list of comments in the palette is continually refreshing. If I collapse the comments, they still keep opening, refreshing, and then closing. Probably 10-15% of the comments are in the wrong place when compared to the actual PDF, especially when they're in tables. I do a lot of work in Arabic, which I don't read. I have a book right now with 2000+ corrections. It's so tedious to look at the PDF, click twice on the comment so that I can copy the Arabic text, then try to find the corresponding word just by its shape in the InDesign file and paste the replacement text in. If this feature actually worked, I could cut my correction time to probably 25% of what it takes me now.
