How to Unlock Comments in Adobe Acrobat
Use this interactive demo to walk through the steps for unlocking comments in Adobe Acrobat.
📌 Why this matters
Unlocking comments lets you edit, delete, or modify feedback that was previously protected from changes. This becomes especially valuable when you've inherited a PDF from a colleague who locked their comments, or when you need to consolidate feedback from multiple reviewers into a clean final version.
Locked comments often remain stuck in documents long after they're relevant, cluttering your workspace and confusing future collaborators. By unlocking them, you regain full control over your document's annotation layer and can maintain a professional, streamlined appearance.
