I am constantly commenting on and reviewing comments on PDFs and this issue has been the bane of my existence for years.
I finally got so sick of it today that I tried a hardcore search effort to find any solution and ended up here, but no search came back with anything close.
If I have a document full of comments and markups, I open the comment list at the bottom of the screen so I can simply hit "next" and step through all of the comments while viewing where they occur in the document, which is required to understand the context of the edit/comment.
The issue is that doing this is effective in stepping through the **document** to each comment, but the comment list seems to be completely incapable of keeping the related comment IN THE WINDOW where I can read it. So I'll step through a few comments and then get to one where the actual comment is off the bottom of the window, requiring me to manually scroll down to see the comment. This seems trivial, but when working with lots of comments on long documents all the time, it get very old very fast.
The nature of my work makes it such that the comments tend to be longer and having them display on the document (instead of just showing the small comment/markup icon) is impractical. I end up having to open/close them constantly to see what's on the page below.
For the life of me, I can't see how it can't just keep the current comment aligned at the top of the comment list. This seems like a definite bug to me.
Does this happen to others? Is there any way to fix it? Any other workarounds other than having all comments opened up on the document? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?
