Open the InDesign document for which you want to import the PDF comments.
Easily collaborate with multiple stakeholders. Import comments from PDFs created in InDesign CC.
If you have created PDFs from your InDesign document and shared them for review, you can import comments from the reviewed PDFs right into your document and manage the feedback with ease. You can accept comments and mark them as resolved or unresolved. Selecting a comment also highlights the section in the document where the comment is applicable.
For the correct mapping of comments, ensure that the InDesign document is not edited after creating the PDF for review.
Open the InDesign document for which you want to import the PDF comments.
Do one of the following:
Browse for the PDF having comments for your document and click Import comments. You can import comments from multiple PDFs for your document. The comments are imported and displayed in the PDF Comments panel.
The PDF Comments panel displays all the imported comments. The total number of comments is displayed on top. All the comments are grouped based on the page number.
Each comment displays the following:
A. PDF Comments panel menu B. Filter comments C. Mark resolved/unresolved D. Accept a comment E. Delete a comment F. Search comments G. Number of comments H. Type of comment I. Show/Hide comments on layout
Once the comments are imported in the PDF Comments panel, you can review individual comments. As you select a comment, the annotation corresponding to that comment gets highlighted in the document.
In the PDF Comments panel, you can do the following:
Filter the comments based on their status, reviewer, type of comments, and PDF source of the comments. For more information, see Filter comments.
Review individual comments and mark them resolved.
Accept the changes for Strikethrough Text, Replace Text, and Insert Text comment types. As you accept the comment, the document is updated with the corresponding changes.
Delete a comment.
You can filter the comments based on the following status:
Resolved
View comments marked as resolved by you.
Unresolved
View comments which are not marked as resolved by you.
Mapped
View comments which are mapped to an object in the document.
Unmapped
View comments that are not mapped with an object in the document. Unmapped comments display the icon.
