Well yes, this work well on a PC, unfortunately any similar key combination do not work on a Mac.
Do you happen to know where I could get a listing of all keyboard command as I did not find anything in the help section.

Thank you.

Alt+C L is not really a keyboard shortcut, it's an accelerator. With Alt+C you open the Comments menu and with L you launch Show Comments List. In Windows when you press (and hold) the Alt key you see an underline underneath the accelerator in the menu. There should be something similar on Macs as well.

hum...there must be more here than meets the eye. This works on the PC and I see what Alt+C does and also the C or anything else on the menu. But things are different on the Mac:
1) I tried with single key accelerator enabled and disabled
2) I tried control, option, command, and combination of them
Nothing really seems to work or make sense and I do not see a pattern.
Could it be that it is not possible on a Mac?

I don't see a keyboard command for opening the comment navigation pane listed in this freely downloaded keyboard shortcut guide:

I see CMD+8 to show comments but I believe this is for all comments on a page.

I have this great PDF reader for the iPad, iAnnotate. It has a very simple feature which fits in very well with the way I work. It "summarizes" comments, whether those are highlights or notes, into a single file, a one or two page list. I read articles and transcripts, and then have all the quotes I found significant in a single place, so I'm able to write something up using them, or quickly remind myself what I read.

In my experience, the comments feature of Acrobat Pro 9 doesn't do this... it prints out a bloated document with one comment per page. Anyway to get Acrobat Pro 9 to be more like iAnnotate?

Adobe does survey users and has a page for bug reporting and feature request. A U2U forum may let you vent your problem, but it will not have a much as an impact as contacting Adobe through their feature request page. The more friends you have request that feature, the more importance Adobe will put on fixing it.

Be grateful you do not need to write it in a full computer language.
