How do I enable commenting on a dynamic fillable pdf?

This question applies to both Acrobat 9 and X. It seems like it's either one or the other - if I enable commenting, it asks that I use the File > Print to print as a flat non-fillable PDF, but if I want to keep the form fillable, then I cannot enable commenting.
In Acrobat 9, "Advanced > Extend Features" only enables form filling, not commenting. "Comments > Enable Commenting" doesn't seem to do anything other than pop up that window to tell me to print the PDF. I believe the same limitations apply to Acrobat X, in "File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF".
Is there a way to make my form fillable, but allow the commenting toolbar (sticky notes, highlighting, etc) in Adobe Reader?

The only way to enable BOTH sets of options is via our LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server product.

    How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

  • How can I enable Safari's ability to display pdf files?

    Hi there,
    In Safari 4.0.3 (MacBook Pro) pdf links open as a dark grey block. That is, instead of the intended text, I see just dark gray.
    Control-click allows me to save the file to the desktop in which case Preview can open them with no problem.

    Thanks for any help,

    HI,
    If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, launch Adobe Reader. From the Menu Bar, click Adobe Reader/Preferences. Select the Internet category...the top option is the one you want. Uncheck the box to make sure Adobe doesn't keep making itself the default reader.
    You might also need to open /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete Adobe's PDF viewer plug-in.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended: Enable commenting in Save As-ed PDFs by default

    For Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:
    When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
    What I currently must do: Open the PDF, choose Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader, at which point Acrobat 9 Pro Extended prompts me to save the file.
    What I would like to do: Have Save As automatically enable commenting & analysis by default.
    I can't find any controls for that, so suspect it's a manual process each time...(?)
    Note, too, that this question was asked for Acrobat 8 Pro but went unanswered, which further leads me to believe enabling comments may well be a one-by-each process. Sigh...

    I am trying to create a fillable pdf form where a $100 late fee is applied if they submit the form after the deadline.  I have a spot for the person to check a box if they are submitting it after the deadline. How can I get it to calculate in to the total?

    any idea on how to do it? sorry but i'm not familiar with the abobe x pro at all. Thanks.

    Better yet, edit the original source document, create a new PDF, and replace the old pages with the new: Tools > Pages > Replace

  • How can I change the margins on a fillable PDF

    I am looking to change the margins on a fillable PDF that is required by the CRA because page 2 of 10 is blank. If I were to print it and send it off with the blank page it will get sent back as 'not completed properly'
    Any ideas on how to get rid of the blank page???

    Oh I understand that it is free. I just don't understand why a fillable document that is required by a government agency such as the CRA has a blank page in it and the program they insist you use to fill out the form cannot remove that blank page. That's where my annoyance lies.

  • New User Question:  How do I enable comments in Reader when this option is greyed out on my menu?

    I cannot figure out what I am missing here.  I have a PDF Portfolio completed and now want to E-Mail for Review.  But this option is greyed out on my Comment Menu dropdown list.  What to do?  Thanks!

    Two Places to Check
    In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
    Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
    If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
    Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.

  • How do I convert a document as a fillable pdf that will allow the end user to save?

    When I convert a Word document into a PDF fillable file, the end user cannot save their file. How to I make the file savable for the end user?

    Hi TinaEllis,
    Is your end user using Reader to fill out the PDF form? If so, the PDF needs to be Reader enabled. Please see Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Enable Reader users to save form data.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • How do I keep the format in a fillable PDF, specifically the "$" symbol and the 2 decimal places?

    I created a fillable form in Acrobat Pro and when we use it in Adobe Reader on the iPad, the preset format for money doesn't stay when the fields are populated, but if we email the filled form back to the iMac, the format is there and it's fine.  Any suggestions?  Do I need to do something with the original fillable form so that it carries over to the iPad?

    I have been having a similar issue for a client's interactive PDF report that needed the "Show/Hide" feature in InDesign to reveal many acronyms' definitions in a "Pop-up" box when the acronyms were clicked on. Then the "Pop-up" boxes could be clicked on to close themselves using the same "Show/Hide" feature. While I have been going a little crazy the last FEW MONTHS scouring the forums and blogs (and just spent an hour and a half on the phone with Adobe's tech support staff that apparently only support desktops and laptops but have NO CLUE about the delivery of Adobe content via tablets and other mobile devices), I can say that a few things have been helpful - on the expert blogs (but sadly not in any of Adobe's support forums or call centers).
    Buttons in interactive PDFs are NOT supported in iBooks or Acrobat Reader on the iPad.
    Basic buttons, like navigational buttons (go to next or previous page) or submit, DO work in the "PDF Expert" app, which is $9.99 in the App Store.
    So far, no matter which workaraound I have tried from the forums and blogs, the "Show/Hide" buttons still do NOT seem to work properly in even the "PDF Expert" app. (I see a highlight field where my buttons and pop-ups should be but no content in them - no text and no background - only a translucent highlight that shows that somewhere in there it's trying to work. The highlight fields even show and hide the way the buttons and pop-ups are supposed to, which is maddening!)
    The only recommendation I could get from the Adobe tech support folks was to use InDesign and the Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) instead and publish an app through the iTunes Store.
    Unfortunately that is NOT an option for me because my client's report is confidential and being sent to only a small group of less than 100 people.
    I could bypass the iTunes Store and distribute the "Ad Hoc" method of attaching the .ipa file (the app file) to an email list of up to 100 people but my client would have to buy the DPS Enterprise Edition, which costs upwards of $20,000. (Yes, that's $20K in American dollars.)
    There is NO option to distribute "Ad Hoc" with the Single Edition of DPS which comes with the Creative Cloud. I guess a lot of people ask that of the DPS forums and the experts give cranky repies that "No, it is just not possible with any DPS version less than the Enterprise Edition."
    There is no middle ground on this yet but a lot of people seem to be asking for it. What's up with that, Adobe? No support for the small to mid-sized businesses for simple interactive brochures and reports that they don't want to release to the world, just to a select few?
    The only solution I have found even slightly feasible is to create buttons that control "Multi-State Objects" (or MSOs) to behave similarly to the "Show/Hide" buttons and create a DPS .folio file from the InDesign doc.
    I still can't recommend that my client pays $20,000 to be able to distribute his interactive quarterly report but I think I found a way around a small distribution.
    You can share a .folio file with people through an email from the "Folio Builder" panel in InDesign. (See this help file: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/create-folios.html and scroll down to the "Share Folios" section.)
    Apparently, this link is not permanent, but I haven't found an answer anywhere as to when it will time out. I'm thinking at least 3 months will be enough for my client for the time being until the next quarterly report comes out. Hopefully by then Adobe will have come up with a cost-effective solution for the small to medium-sized business that wants to publish interactive documents for the iPad or the PDF apps on the iPad will become mature enough to handle these slightly more robust interactive features.
    I hope this was helpful to some of you trying to do something similar. If anyone has an elegant solution for the nearly-working interactive PDF on the iPad, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

  • How to enable Comment functionality in Design Studio

    Hi Experts,
    How can we enable comment functionality in Design studio? This is important for users:
    a) To enter comments in the application
    b) To see the comments after reopening the application again. This means, it needs to be stored somewhere.
    This application is built on top of a BEx Query.
    Really appreciate your help here!!
    Thanks,
    Jomy

    Hi Jomy - I see your point
    Looking at Figure 7 here Lumira and Design Studio Updates Roadmap from ASUG Annual Conference - Part 2 it is not going to be built in Design Studio
    So my opinion only here -  either you buy CubeServ add-on or you build SDK yourself.  As an accountant I would do cost-benefit - how long (cost) would it take for someone other than CubeServ to do it versus buying from CubeServ.
    Maybe others have ideas?

  • How can I allow commenting in a certified document/

    In Acrobat Pro 9, I created a certified document by selecting "Certify with out Visible Signature." I tried all three settings in "Permitted Changes after Certifying" but my PDF still does not allow commenting in Reader. The PDF allowed commenting before I certified it---how can I enable commenting after certification?

    Tags are independent of PDF page content. Removing/deleting a page or page(s) does not remove anything in the PDF's structure tree.
    As Full Check is looking at the structure tree the report reflects what is present there.
    In the Tags panel walk the structure tree to locate the Table tags. Delete these.
    Be well...

    I cannot believe the quality of the Acrobat X tutorials. Why can’t they be like the ones for CS.  Some balloon text boxes flash by so fast they cannot be read, timing is also an issue for other balloons.
