Imagine being in for a manic episode or something and seeing this shit comin’ at you.

The ability to filter comments actively as you mark them off as completed is magnificent.

You mark a comment, it hides itself. Neat and tidy, fantastic.

Why doesn’t Adobe do this, you ask? Who the fuck knows. Especially since you used to be able to in Acrobat.

Why? Were people complaining it was too helpful?

Adobe sucks but InDesign is still pretty much the standard; it begrudgingly does a pretty good job.

Affinity Publisher is coming along nicely though. And yeah Scribus is not too bad either.

Word being a word processor also sucks at document layout. Most software that isn't made for laying out documents suck at it, but people all try. My god do they try...

Excel is okay as long as it stays in its lane.

It is not okay if you’ve ever worked in a printshop or do graphic design and people send in newsletters or brochures or some shit done within Excel.

Excel is many things; it is not fit to layout documents. Blegh.

I don’t know what’s sadder the giant Safeway sandwiches going from $9.99 to $13.99 or my mortgage about to go up like 200 goddamn dollars…

But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?

Just never interact with anyone. Christ, it's not that hard people! (This comment doesn't count.)

 

This apparently isn’t an issue that a lot of users run into at least according to the ranting I’ve done elsewhere on the internet. I’ll try explaining this as best as I can.

Skip down to the TL;DR if you’re good sans explaining.

In previous versions of Acrobat Pro (eg: 9) it was possible to set a filter for the comments in a document (eg: Status = None) and then as you are going through and marking the comments as "Completed" the list of comments would automatically hide the completed comments for you.

The current version (and last few versions) of Acrobat Pro (or DC as they call it now). Do not filter live as you change the status of a comment. You have to clear the filter and reapply it if you want to hide markup you’ve already dealt with.

This is extremely annoying when you’ve got hundreds of comments to go through. Once again I refuse to believe that I’m the only one in graphic design or desktop publishing who could benefit from having this feature.

TL;DR: Is there a good none-Adobe PDF reader/marker that will let me see comments and live filter them (hide them) based on a change in status from “None” to “Completed”.
