I mean, it's been two years this bug has not been fixed.

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/the-quot-import-pdf-comments-quot-issue/m-p/1204...

 

I see new Indesign versions come one after one , try them all with hope.
But no, I still have to use Indesign 2014 to do my work...

Hi Bevi,

 

If you read my post, you'll see that no edit has been made on the IDD.

1) I write the text, one with outline, one without.

2) I export a PDF.

3) I open the PDF in Acrobat, add comments, and save,

4) I import the PDF comments in my Indesign project.

5) The comments are perfectly aligned on the text without outline, and not at all on the text with outline.

I did that for almost a year on Indesign 14, with no issue. (and still doing to this day).
It broke when Indesign 2015 was released.

Hi Bevi,

clearly, this is a bug.

I can see it with InDesign 2022 for example.

The strokes on the text were applied before exporting the PDF where I did the comments.

Hi Alex,

sorry to say, but I can see the issue already with InDesign 2019 version 14.0.3.433.

Sounds crazy, but this time the comment was moved to the beginning of the story:

Here my test documents to download from my Dropbox account:

Hi Uwe, 

 

So I opened your Indesign file named 211112-3-PDF-Comments-14.0.3.433, export a PDF, add comments, save the PDF, imports it back in Indesign, and I have no issue. The comment are perfectly aligned.

Did the same thing in Indesign 17.01, and of course, comments are misaligned.

Hi Alex,

please attach your commented PDF.

I'd like to import it to the PDF Comments panel.

 

What exact version are you using with InDesign version 14?

I'm on Windows 10 with the German InDesign 14.0.3.433.

 

What happens if you load my commented PDF to the InDesign document in InDesign version 14?

 

Thanks,
Uwe Laubender

I'm using Indesign 14.03 french on Windows 10.

 

My PDF with comment is attached.

 

- If I import your 211112-3-PDF-Comments-14.0.3.433-Commented : Misaligned

- If I open your 211112-3-PDF-Comments-14.0.3.433 in Acrobat Pro, add comments, and import it in Indesign, it craches.

That's bad. I wonder if the core issue in the crash lies in a bug with the Acrobat Pro version.

I'm with Acrobat Pro DC Continous Release | Version 2021.007.20099.

Meanwhile the Adobe Team fixed this bug, I found a way to manage a temporary solution.

 

1) I export two PDF
a) One with no modification (Normal)

b) One with all the text stroke removed (Custom)

 

2) My proofreader uses the Normal PDF to add his comments.
3) I open the Normal PDF, export the comments, and import them in the Custom PDF.

4) In indesign 2022, I open the Custom PDF to import PDF comments.

 

And there, no comment misaligned.

So far, I just made the test on a few pages, and need to find a way or a script to remove the stroke on every text, with one click.

 

It's quite cumbersome, so I really hope for a fix.

Hi Alex,

a script to remove all strokes on all texts in your document:

app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().texts[0].properties =
{
	strokeWeight : 0 ,
	strokeColor : "None"
};

Here I assume that you have no text in InDesign tables and no footnotes in your docs.

Uwe Laubender

Hi Alex,

this bug requires a new discussion here in the user forum, I think.

Report it at InDesign UserVoice:
