Today, the 1 page document I am currently working on has 1,688 comments - If I bring up the comment App, I can hide all comments, which works fine for the document I am in, but as soon as the next document is loaded, the comments come back. The font has been added during an AutoCAD session and the font list hasnt been refreshed. This makes panning/scrolling problematic. A custom shx font has been added to the support folder to be used in AutoCAD, but its still not showing up in the list of fonts to choose from.

You do not need to restart Revit for the font mapping to take effect. where: filename.shx is the name of the AutoCAD SHX font to map from. In Windows 7/8/10 just drag the TTF file to this Fonts.

If you accidentally grab one ( and it's hard not too ), Adobe DC determines you are selecting an AutoCAD text box, so it immediately disables the pan function and then turns the symbol into a blue box and calls up the Autocad SHX Text box. For each TrueType font to map, add a line with the following format: filename.shx < tab > Fontname. In the Windows Control Panels (WinXP/Vista) choose Fonts and in the File menu select Install new font.

As we try to review a full page, even on our large monitor, panning thru a document using the hand tool almost always results in grabbing a symbol of some sort.

The issue is that these were originally large 24'x36' drawings so they contain a lot of information, even more when it's loading a single page on a 24' monitor. With DC 10, almost all of those documents now have comments or pop-up boxes. My company works with a lot of *.pdf documents which were originally created with AutoCAD and sent to us for analysis. I realize this is not an earth shattering issue and most users would be unaffected, but it is a drawdown in our productivity as well as a nuisance. I have searched all over Google, the Adobe Forums, and other online Tech Tips trying to solve this, but so far have not been able to come up with anything.
