PDF comments not recognized by Adobe Acrobat/Reader

[matjes85]

Acrobat Reader/Editor does not recognize status attributes set with XChange Editor.

BTW: Is it not possible to sort/filter comments by their status in XChange Editor?



PDF XChange Editor





Adobe Reader




Has someone else the same problem/knows a solution for it?

Hello matjes85,

Sorting by status is indeed not yet possible, but I believe that this is already requested and in our list of feature requests.

As for the status not being visible in Adobe's reader - it is indeed not shown, but are you able to set any other "status" in your Adobe Reader? I could not find this functionality in their free reader at all.

I could however check and set the status of annotations with JS, and then when saving this document - the status was properly shown as set/changed in our Editor as well.

Regards,
Stefan

You're right, the status does not appear in the Reader wo unlocked comment features. But it did not appear in Adobe Acrobat, too. Unfortunately I don't have Adobe Acrobat installed, and was therefore not able to take a screenshot of the missing status there.

Hi matjes85,

I've created 2 tickets for this - one as a feature request (1975) and one as a bug report (RT-1974).

The Devs. will look into this as soon as possible and hopefully a fix will be included in the next build.

Cheers, hope that helps!
