Question details
Users are experiencing issues where comments added to a PDF file do not appear or are lost after leaving the document.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Reader Mobile
- Device & OS
- iPhone
- Scenario
- Reviewing and adding annotations to a PDF document on a mobile device.
- Observed behavior
- Comments added to the PDF disappear and cannot be found in the document if they are not explicitly submitted or saved before closing the viewer.
Ensure that your Acrobat Reader Mobile app is up to date and try to avoid switching apps or closing the document abruptly while actively typing a comment.
Properly Submit and Locate PDF Comments
Follow the correct sequence to confirm and submit your text so it is permanently saved to the PDF document.
In the Acrobat Reader iOS app, typing a comment does not automatically attach it to the file. You must actively submit the comment using the app's interface before navigating away from the text field.
Open the PDF, tap the annotation tool, and type your comment into the text field.
Tap 'Done' on your keyboard or press the 'Send' icon located on the right side of the comment field to finalize the addition.
To check if your comments are saved, tap the 'Comments' option from the menu in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will display a list of all properly saved annotations.
Annotate PDFs Seamlessly with WPS Office
If you need a reliable way to review and annotate documents on your iPhone, WPS Office offers a comprehensive PDF editor. It effortlessly handles comments, highlights, and annotations, ensuring your work is saved securely.
- 1. Open the PDF in WPS Office: Launch the WPS Office app on your iPhone and open the PDF document you want to review.
- 2. Access annotation tools: Tap 'Tools' at the bottom menu, then navigate to the 'Annotation' tab to access the commenting features.
- 3. Add and save comments: Select the text box or sticky note tool to add your comment. Tap the checkmark to instantly save your annotation to the document.
- 4. Manage your annotations: Tap the comments list icon to view, edit, or delete any annotations you have made across the entire PDF.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my PDF comments disappear on my iPhone?
Comments usually disappear if they are not explicitly submitted. In the Acrobat app, you must tap 'Done' or the 'Send' icon before exiting the text field; otherwise, the app discards the unsaved text.
How do I view all the comments I've added to a PDF?
You can view all your saved annotations by opening the PDF and selecting the 'Comments' option from the menu located in the upper-right corner of the app screen.
Can I recover a comment if I closed the app without saving?
No, if the comment was not submitted before you closed the document or the app, it is permanently lost and will need to be retyped.
