Show all comments - make it persistent

[fullofquestions]

PDF-Xchange viewer version 2.0 build 49.0 pro
I am annotating pdfs using aji annotator on the iphone and then transferring back to my pc. At first I could not see the comments, but figured that if I did:

Comments -> Show Comments -> Show all comments

I would finally get to see the comments. Unfortunately, this is only done on the current page I think. Basically, all I want is to show all of the comments, for all pages, all the time. If I close the file (even if I make a quick update then save), the next time I open it up, the comments will be hidden.

I don't think I want to flatten the comments because then I won't be able to erase them, right? Is there a way to have the comments show up all the time.

thanks

Hello fullofquestions,

Please update your Viewer version to the current latest one (2.5.192) as the one you have is a bit old:

And check whether the problem you are reporting hasn't been fixed already.

Best,
Stefan

Not quite, that did not work. The only thing that works is the following:

1. go to a page and show all comments
2. if I select a particular comment, and then right click, 'apply default appearance', the save button is enabled and I can save the document. Next time I open it up, that particular comment is visible. All other comments are not.

If there is a way to select all comments and apply the default appearance, then save, all would be resolved. From what I can tell, there is no way to select all of the comments.

Any advice?

Also, is there a way to show all comments document-wide? For me, 'show all comments' only enables this page's comments...

Hi fullofquestions,

Try Comments->Summarize Comments, this will give you a document wide summary of all your commenting.

There is a bigger problem now, I cannot open up the toolbars so that I can make changes to my pdfs. If I go to 'view' -> 'toolbars' the options are all grayed out.

wtf?
Is there anything else that needs to be done after an update?

Hi fullofquestions,

There is a bigger problem now, I cannot open up the toolbars so that I can make changes to my pdfs. If I go to 'view' -> 'toolbars' the options are all grayed out.

Please, right mouse click on any visible toolbar and uncheck 'Lock/Unlock Command Bars' box.
